Don't give your bank card , They lie and say it's just to have on file , they took with out notification 250 the max the day is in the online paperwork you sign , I checked she said I got email and letter , I did not saying they were going to take this from my account be warned they take the max no matter what the bill is. And when ur sick and desperate who really pays attention to all the mumble jumble online stuff they should be telling you at the counter about the money crap. For this reason. read more

Horrible patient care I made an appointment and specifically wrote that I needed a chest x-ray and I called to make sure that an x-ray tech perdition was available. Once they confirmed my appointment time and they told me they could see me as a patient but the x-ray tech had to leave early. Not even a phone call. The girl at the front desk acted like it was no big deal. Had to make another appointment and drive 30 minutes away while sick to find an urgent care with an xray tech read more

I needed a refill on an expired prescription. The nurse practitioner gave me 1 day or 2 pills and didn't tell me she was giving me 1 day's worth. I waited 1.5 hours, paid 75.00 dollars and will have to this all again on Monday through my doctor. Zero stars, not cheap, not urgent, bad care and a total waste of 2 hours time when I didn't feel well. you will feel worse if you go there so don't bother going there. RIPOFF! read more

This is a great place. The staff is very professional. I can always get an appointment in the same day when my pcp can't see me. The nurse practitioners are very knowledgeable read more

The ladies at the front were very unprofessional well one of them. I believe you get a certificate or tittle letting every patient who comes here know you are going to be treated well and with professionalism. That wasn't my experience today after my follow up for a wrist sprain. She told me to stay at the room until the health provider said I was good to go. When I went to the counter and asked for a copy from the results she just rolled her eyes and ugh. Hey am here because I don't know the things you specialize on. Be professional with every single patient you have and respectful and don't discriminate for race or color of your skin. read more

AFC Urgent Care Stoneham - So today I have an appointment at AFC Urgent Care for a recheck - Urgent Care Near Me - Stoneham, Massachusetts

We Made an appointment with the website and were scheduled for a 2:44 appointment for a simple PCR test,its now 3:44 and the front desk is unconcerned about this and have taken in other later arrivals before us. Never again with AFC. read more

General physical and drug screening. Filled out the required paperwork in a hot stuffy waiting area. Called into the exam room . Waiting for close to an hour, I open the door for some cooler air, was told it had to stay closed. Around 12 pm a physician assistant gave me a quick physical and a TB test. Another staff member said I. You need a drug screening you can wait longer or come back . All I had to do was pee in a bottle. If they told me they had the emergency that they said was going on I would have left But to keep somebody in a room with no updates or anything is poor practice. I went back Sunday morning provided my sample and was out I'm a matter of minutes. I understand things happen but Better communication is essential in the medical field. I could have died in that room and and would it be found for an hour! Please address this matter with your team immediately. I never reviewed anything before but felt I should given the circumstances read more

Visited this morning, third in line when doors opened at 8 am Filled out registration as a walk in and was out at 8:30 Got PCR COVID-19 test, promise results today Staff was outstanding handling about 30 people. Was pleasantly surprised, would recommend. read more

Made an appointment for 12:00 for a covid test. Waited over an hour and still waiting. Trying to cancel but they can't print a receipt. My guess is they are having staff issues. read more

I've been to this urgent care a few times. The staff is very welcoming and professional. The physicians are extremely knowledgeable and attentive. Whether the ailment is something minor or severe - I've always had a great experience at this facility. It's also very clean & sterile. read more

The absolute worse care I have ever had. Front desk more concerned with ordering dinner than a line of patients waiting in line with extreme pain to be checked in. Yes I know it's 6 pm on a Sunday. But I wouldn't be here if I wasn't in extreme pain and needed help. 9 patients to be seen, 5 of them all within 10 minutes of closing time (8 pm). RN and PA both wicked rushed and could not give a F. I told discharge nurse I was sorry that she had to be there 15 minutes past closing time and she laughed hysterically--at the fact that I actually cared (????) Was told my prescription would be sent over to the 24/7 pharmacy THAT NIGHT but funny that pharmacy has nothing. Guess I'll have to wait til the morning Do not go here. read more

Great experience in a time of need, helped much more than other places! I needed the help I got and am forever grateful helping me get back to work sooner than later, Kayla was great to have to help me out, she was very comforting in a time of living in hell! Thank you AFC Stoneham and Kayla! read more

I live down the street from here. Walked in for an earache. I was impressed with how coordinated the staff were and it was BUSY!!! The nurse practicioner was awesome. I would def return if medical care was needed. Check in and check out 45 minutes and script filled at pharmacy to home all in 1 hr.. tysvm ! read more

I went yesterday to revive the strep and Covid test it took 20 minutes between 3 doctors and I did tell them my ears were bothering and they never checked my ears. read more

Both my wife and myself share the exact same experience at Urgent Care Stoneham. If you're black and in need of urgent care, DON'T go there!!! They'll see everyone who's white before they even think about seeing you. And they'll be sure to give you all the excuses in the world as to why the 1,000 people who were checked in after you, were seen before you. read more

I was sent here for urine drug test. The girl at the front desk has the personality of a wet sponge. There was another girl that seems friendlier but i didn't talk to her. The girl was more interested in her cell phone than putting my info in the computer. i was not such so i wanted out of there as soon as possible and waited half hour plus to pee in a cup, ugh!! read more

I reached out to AFC urgent Care in Stoneham last night to inquire about Covid Testing. Although they were unable to pick up the phone, I left a detailed voicemail and they made sure to get back to my voicemail in a timely manner. I was unable to pick up the phone at the time they called, however the representative made sure to answer my questions in the voicemail to streamline the process. The online appointment portal for Covid Testing was showing no availability for a few days, yet they were able to accommodate me first thing this morning. The testing was pretty straightforward and quick. Filled out two pieces of paperwork, showed insurance/ ID, and they conducted the swab test while I was in the car. The gentleman who was administering the test was very pleasant and made the process very simple. I was out within 25 minutes. I know that a lot of people have complained about their experiences here, however these people may only have a modicum of patience to begin with. These essential workers are already exposing themselves and trying to be available in light of everything going on. There will be high volumes of patients at times, and they have to tend to everybody. It's a high stress environment for everyone. If your treatment was mis-diagnosed, then you should have just gone to your primary care physician from the get-go, or the emergency room of your local hospital. Stop complaining. Chances are you did not disclose all of the symptoms/issue for them to make an informed decision.... since you're too busy getting aggravated and complaining. read more

I have never had any luck there so I hesitated to go but I had a sinus infection, which I get every year. Usually I get a zpack. But my dr said their office and their urgent care were fully booked. Doogie Howser, "provider" comes in with a full hazmat outfit on, takes my blood pressure so tight I thought my hand would fall off, told me it was normal. Alright, in 50 years I have never had my hand turn purple but ok. Looks in my ears but not nose or throat, tells me I don't have an ear or a sinus infection. I know when I have a sinus infection, I need a zpack. He says my doctor is outdated and zpacks are not for sinus infection, amoxicillan is. Ok. My MGH doctor is not as up to date as Doogie at AFC clinic. Got it. I am also allergic to amoxicillan and my out of date doctor usually looks in nose for sinus infection. Waste of a copay. read more

Most of the staffs are pretty nice and professional, there was only one nurse that she looks like she's always angry...... But that's not the main reason for the 2 stars. I received a bill for the testing and I wasn't expecting it...I wish I was told they are going to have to charge me for the testing so I can make the decision if I need it done....... read more

Went here for a COVID test for travel. Test was certainly quick enough. But the test results were a strange printout that did not even list the kind of test. It had a completely different format than other tests results I had received, and I've now taken several. I wrote AFC asking for another copy of the results, but there was no reply. Well, who cares what I think of their test result sheet? The bigger problem was at airport checkin, where the gate agent had the same reaction -- what is this ****, we cannot accept it. I called AFC, but they said that there result printout is what it is and it is not their fault if governments or airlines do not accept it! One thing they would never give in writing at all was the price. The only way I could discover it beforehand was to stop by the office and hear it orally; and when I emailed afterwards asking for a receipt, nobody replied. This obviously does not say anything about other aspects of AFC Stoneham's care. But the fact that they communicate so badly might reflect on other procedures. read more

Made an appointment for 645 and still sitting here at 705. Not the problem. During my time of sitting in the waiting room I watched the person behind the counter turn away 4 people for walk in appointments and Covid testing. Then two people walk in and ask for a test cause they are taking a trip. They know one of the people sitting at the desk. Neither of them are wearing their masks correctly. Next thing you know they are filling out paperwork for a test. A little unfair and should be handled. read more

Had an appointment at 1 o'clock I got there at 12:50 and I had to leave at 2:15 and and still never got called for my appointment I waited over an hour for my appointment. read more

Don't expect to be seen on time. Your appointment means nothing. Plan to wait for a minimum of an hour if you are lucky.

Definitely glad that I went here last night. From start to finish the ENTIRE Staff was polite, professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Dr Alice Simcoe-Matthews went above and beyond my expectations. She answered all my questions and concerns. Thank you. The only hiccup here is parking which is very limited in the front with tiny spots. Granted there are spots in the back and on the other side of the building, but only front door entrance. read more

My experience with this urgent care was positive and life changing. I've been to urgent care facilities and ERs where the wait time takes forever. The wait time here is a lot less. Additionally, the nurse practitioners, nurses, medical assistants at this place show empathy, compassion and medical expertise. I'm very happy with my experience here and will think again before going to another urgent care facility. read more

burlington urgent care is like a scam or something else useless. i was told for months they were getting pc doctors on site! waiting and waiting so i finally call, because there not gonna call me and surprise! i get the blah blah corporate says blah no doctors till maybe next year!?!?!? full of #hit. so now back to search for doctors that aren't lahey, cause they are a monopoly and i just don't like em. doctors can and do ruin people's lives, like dr beth goldman ruined mine read more

I highly recommend this facility. The staff is extremely helpful and thorough My wife and I have both used their services dealing with Covid -19 in the past two weeks. I've recommended AFC Stoneham to at least 5 other friends and I know of two that have been seen there. They were professional and efficient we did not feel processed or typically "NEXT" we will both use AFC in the future as long as we can get through this quarantine and don't get divorced. Sean M read more

They were excellent, visited them during pandemic and they could not have been more helpful. Everyone there had a positive attitude and was so kind to me. read more

My wife had contracted the flu two days earlier and sure enough I got it from her a few days later. She had gone to the clinic on Friday and spoke glowingly about the service etc. Walked in and told the story about my wife being there two days earlier. Receptionist pulled back like I had leprosy and said "put on a mask and fill this out over there" When I finished the paperwork and brought it back there was no thank you etc. but there was a demand for "you owe a $45 dollar copay ". No please, no thank you. When I asked for a receipt of my copay I felt I was bothering her. Was Brought in to a room and had my vitals taken and then waited for the Doctor to come in. Doctor was fabulous, quickly diagnosed me and sent me on my way. If not for the grumpy receptionist I would have given 5 stars. read more

Made a appointment that is in a few days. The e- mail says that the appointment is made but it is not confirmed until you fill out the registration online. Where is the registration?! I do not want them to cancel my appointment. read more

Waited waited 2 hours in the cold rain next to Karen who did not have an appointment and needed a test to baby sit her grandchild but when it was my turn looking for a drs note to return into work after my booster why was I then told; "we can't accommodate you" love this country wouldn't give a star for how the medical feild treats me this bad read more

This is my second time coming here. I am sitting and waiting to be seen, and I have never heard such a rude person at the front desk. Apparently, Pam at the front desk is having a really bad day, because she is loudly and unprofessionally berating her co-workers. There are multiple people waiting to be seen that are having to listen to her incredibly rude and disrespectful comments/behavior. Very unpleasant, unprofessional, and inappropriate. Pam needs to be reprimanded or let go. It's embarrassing to listen to. read more

Would give it 0 starts if I could. Had an appointment at 10:30 and didn't get brought to a room until 11:45 where I then waited for 30 more minutes before someone even spoke to me. Went in for dizziness and the medical assistant who took my vitals asked about my symptoms but the NP or whoever saw me came in and was very obviously not even listening to me and just told me to go to the ER because they can't do anything for me there and told me the ER could "test for the scary stuff" (definitely not what you want to hear when you already have severe anxiety). Was there for 2 and a half hours and got absolutely nothing from the visit except a feeling like I have some serious condition. Absolutely horrified at the way these people carry themselves as medical professionals who are supposed to care for people for a living. read more

THE WORST PLACE EVER! Wish I could give it no stars. DO NOT GO HERE. Please trust the bulk of the reviews that say the same. Wish I read these before going. While the staff was nice enough (didn't even see a dr), it has been 1 1/2 weeks since I went and I still have not received basic lab work back-CBC, Metabolic Panel. Basic throat culture took 4 days for results. Every time I call I either don't get a person or if I do, they each tell me something different-oh it takes 24 hours, 48 hours, 3-5 business days, not back yet, we'll call the lab...No consistency. No follow through. No follow up. And don't believe the reviews that say they check up on you. THEY DO NOT. and they do not return phone calls (they say they do but it's all a lie). When I went to pick up my prescription, it wasn't there and I couldn't get thru to the office so I went in person and very nicely asked if they could send it in for me. Just so happens they sent it to the wrong pharmacy, even though 2 different people asked me to verify my pharmacy location. I could go on but I am hoping to ask my insurance NOT to pay them for their services or lack of services. I am writing a letter of complaint to the main office and sending a copy to the Better Business Bureau. I will also see if my complaint qualifies for a letter to the Attorney Generals office as well. It's unsafe for anyone with a health concern. What they are good at is getting your payment information, including a credit card # and crv code (which I wouldn't leave, thank God) It is strictly a money making business not a health care business. The waiting room isn't even safe (and I waited 1 1/2 hrs). There are chairs right next to each other, it's overcrowded, etc. Some folks waited in their cars. Why are they allowed to operate? read more

Do NOT use this facility, horrible experience. Waited for several hours to have my tick bites examined. I have 2 large bullseye rash areas from a tick and wanted antibiotics for fear of Lyme disease. Instead I recieved a lecture from the PA on the over prescription of antibiotics ending with her refusal to prescribe them for me. She also told me, despite the fact that I have Blue Cross coverage, that I had to pay out of pocket or get my job to cover the cost because the bites happened at work. What is this....a scam business?? I intend to call the better business bureau. Everything I see online says a tick rash should be treated with antibiotics. Spent 3 hours of my time there for nothing. Not even an aftercare printout. Livid . read more

Told us covid test results would be back 1-3 days before our vacation had to cancel cuz only mine came back when me and my boyfriend got them done together.. now after canceling the trip and paying 150 each for the tests he just got the email saying his results got spilled and transit we r pissed. Lady infront of us in line paid for physical and she needed the paper work overheard them say she was never in the system and she needs that shit ASAP like this place is dumb we want our money back read more

This place was the worst. I had to go there for a pre-employment drug screen. So I waited till my bladder was full, drove to Stoneham where I had to fill out paperwork. Filled it out after 5 minutes I asked secretary if I could have cup because I needed to go. She told me I had to wait for the other 3 people infont of me. I said Really Im here just to give urine. She rudely said theres nothing she could do. When the MA came out she told her what I said they both laugh looking directly at me and said oh well guess she's gonna wait some more. Well that pissed me off. Very unprofessional. Would have raised a stink but was afraid they would tamper with my urine. Note to Management you should revise this policy. It takes 5 min to do a urine. Instead of them sitting at the reception desk waiting for a room to become available they should have helped me. It. should not have taken 52min for a urine. On the other hand I took my daughter to the Burlington site. Staff was professional and the PA Kayla Carnell was beyond awesome!! My daughter had to get a shot and she made the entire experience great. Would go see her anyday. read more

Front staff not very personable when greeting patients. First question is insurance, not about patient. Payment cash or card. Went to pay with check, not very friendly in saying don't take checks. Medical services were very good. read more

Do not go here. I wouldn't let them change a band aid . I took my husband there last week because he was having agonizing back pain. They were more interested in his O2 Sat and Blood pressure which he is on meds for. What they should Have done was take an X-ray which they did not. They did not give him anything for the pain and said they would call in a prescription for cream which they never did. A total waste of $200.00.. Stay away from that place ... read more

I visited this location recently because I was suffering from a sore throat which later turned out to be allergy related. As soon as I arrived, the receptionist looked at the clock and informed me that the wait time to see a doctor was a bit long since there were 5 patients ahead of me. The time was also 7:45 pm and the center was supposed to close at 8:00 pm. I got the impression that the receptionist didn't want to be bothered by having to check in another patient, but I opted to begin the process anyway. When the receptionist learned I had a sore throat, she informed me that I was required to wear a mask. After waiting over 25 minutes in the waiting area and observing no one being called in, I decided to leave and visit another urgent care center in Woburn that was open until 9:00 pm. It was so much better than this one and the quality of care was top notch! read more
