Told me they would open at 1PM, So if you have 1PM schedules, just make sure to know they have lunch breaks. The office was clean and cool. You have to log in using an iPad, it took about 3 minutes to fill out the check -in process. Everything on their website is really easy to understand. It's a quick and efficient shop. I paid for $47 for my TB test. The TB test itself was good, just a pin-prick and my nurse, Kristy/Christy was really nice and welcoming. I would say this is a good place to go for quick medical tests. They do other things like Xrays and pre employment physicals. It's on a busy road, and I missed a good parking spot. It's really easy to miss, so make sure you know your way. There is a train station across and maybe you could park on that side.

They couldn't even test me for the flu, which now I know is an over the counter test you can buy yourself. Doctor was too busy to see me, but they sure accepted the insurance payment for the visit. Now, I will ask my medical team to get me in as soon as possible to see a doctor in the office, or just go straight to ER. It's not "urgent care". They do nothing to help you. They just tell you to go to ER. Why not bypass them and save your copay and time. I ensure all of my doctors are also aware of my bad experiences with urgent care. I really don't see why they take up a desk at Sutter?

After reading the reviews here, I had a positive experience with nurse practitioner, Judith Alderman. I understood billing could be an issue. I needed a PCP, as we all do, otherwise you can find yourself in heap of a mess, so I called to verify that they accept my insurance. If you have insurance but get a huge bill, call and ask to have it recoded. My first appointment for a heathcare review went well - lots of questions. Judith advised me I no longer needed routine screenings for cervical cancer yet only the week before my DOCTOR, a specialists, wanted to see me every 3 years, so this center should not be your only source for health information particularly if you have other health issues/concerns. The office is comfortable and spacious. The bad fake Fiddle Leaf Fig trees look out of place in the nice office, especially as they sit in front of gorgeous windows with plenty of light. Real Fiddle Leafs are ridiculously easy to care for, and there are places like officeplants.com that will bring and care for live plants. There are health benefits to live plants too, but ok. The lights over the seating area are huge white flowers and are amazing. You do have to download the app but it seems all medical groups either have an app to communicate with patients or will be getting one. UCLA, Sutter Health and Stanford, all share access to your health history and now prescriptions are all electronically sent through a main database, "Prescription Drug Monitoring System". Government agencies, like police departments, have access to PDMS, so let's face it, our healthcare is no longer as private as we'd like. The app is faster when you're expecting lab results or have a question, you'll get responses and results much faster. Overall, a great experience.

He actually listens. He was the only one who helped me and really cared when I had sepsis. I trust him implicitly. He is a great communicator and I deeply respect him and his knowledge. He is open and willing to try different approaches. I have been his patient for many years and moved three hours away and I still drive to see him when needed. I have switched other doctors to my local area, but once you find someone who is that good, like Dr. Chen, you never switch and drive as many hours as required. Whether you are really sick or just need an annual exam, he is always a great and caring experience.

I am very disappointed with the experience I've had with the PAMF billing office. My husband has…read moredual insurance coverage, and PAMF is covered by his secondary insurance. Despite this, we kept receiving bills and even threats to send our account to collections. I called the billing office repeatedly--almost daily--to understand why the secondary insurance had not paid, only to later discover that PAMF never billed the primary insurance first as required. It took many phone calls with representative from both insurance and the billing stuff and a great deal of stress to resolve something that should have been handled correctly from the start. This has been a very frustrating and time-consuming experience, and I hope PAMF can improve their billing communication and coordination in the future.

My husband's bill came promptly and was perfectly correct. After more than six months and several incorrect bills, they finally billed me, somewhat correctly. At least it was not the extreme overcharge of the first two attempts. Luckily I had my husband's correct bill for reference. Very glad this office is just for after hours care. Would not want to deal with their billing department on a regular basis. The first two times they sent the incorrect billing, I called them and explained their mistake. Each time they waited several months, and instead of sending me a correct bill, they sent a collection agency warning letter. Then I called them again and explained again. Each the very polite offshore customer service representative said all would be well. Finally the third time the billing was close enough to correct that I was willing to pay it.

Between signing up on the app and getting in touch with a Dr it was about less than 10 minutes. I did like that the Dr wasn't in a rush as many are in person and in the comfort of my own car nonetheless. One of the biggest benefits is not having to deal with the office administrators of a doctors office. Sometimes as nice as a Dr can be, the front of the house can really turn people off and we all know how hard it is to find a good fit.

I have visited Carbon Health at Hillsdale Mall several times in the past, but today I experienced…read morethe worst service I have ever received. I went to the clinic twice in the same day, first as a walk-in and later with a scheduled appointment. On my second visit, I waited for over 70 minutes and received no meaningful update about when I would be seen. Eventually, I had no choice but to leave. What was most disappointing was the receptionist's attitude. She appeared friendly and attentive to some patients, while being noticeably dismissive and rude toward others. As a patient, it is frustrating to feel ignored and treated differently, especially when already dealing with a health concern. Waiting can happen in healthcare settings, and most patients understand that. However, there is a big difference between unavoidable delays and poor communication combined with a lack of respect. After 70 minutes, I could have gone to another urgent care clinic and received treatment elsewhere. Patients deserve to be treated with courtesy, professionalism, and respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience today. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to improve both customer service and communication with patients.

They were going to use a throat swab and flu doesn't often come up in a throat swab as the viral load is too low in the throat. They then did a nose swab, but really they should have done a nasalpharyngeal swab. No apologies and they seemed peeved at me pulling them up on that. They also had me me stand at the front desk for 10 mins answering questions when I was feeling very bad to begin with. Also, some may appreciate knowing they will not meet with an MD during their visit. I met only with a PC. I don't think I'll return - I'll stick to Sutter urgent care in downtown San Mateo.
