Had such a good experience at this very recently opened pediatric urgent care center. They're located in a corner office building that a sign on the building but not in the listing out front. Once you enter the building, the office is directly through the door and to the left. They have lots of parking and free wifi.
Pro-tip, if you have the option, a pediatric-focused urgent care business is ALWAYS better than adult urgent care, particularly for stitches and radiology. Children are not small adults. And if you need urgent care in the area of Syracuse, this is a great option. Bonus, the Kinney pharmacy is 4 minutes away and you can pick up prescriptions and medical supplies easily. There are a few Kinneys, so make sure you know which one to use!
Right off the bat, booking online is really convenient. But if you have to wait to be seen, it's clean and cozy in the waiting room, with a bubbler, a TV playing nature shows, and lots of activities for kids. I didn't wait long, but only one person was ahead of me. You can fill out all of the forms online and they mostly auto fill, which is helpful. The staff from front desk to the paramedic doing intake/vitals, to the NP were fantastic. Great bedside manner! All the equipment is top-notch, likely because they're new, and it's super clean. I appreciated that they offered those flavor ice popsicles and adorable popsicle holders you can take home to make the experience positive for the sick kiddos. They have an on-site PCR that provides highly reliable COVID and strep results in about 30 mins, as well as the usual rapids. Can't speak to experience with broken bones or lacerations at this site, but they are equipped for all of it and do have on-site radiology. While they're currently not able to bill insurance directly, that should change soon and they provide all the paperwork so you can submit the emergency claim to your insurance yourself - very classy! And if you're paying out of pocket, the baseline cost is $98 and testing costs more. All testing options were clearly communicated in advance and there was zero sense of upcharging or anything like that. It was fairly priced expert medical care in a clean facility. What more can you ask for???
