Such friendly and helpful staff, plus highly capable and aware. Coming off of a bad experience at another urgent care less than an hour before, this place was a welcome relief! I came here after Edmonds Swedish Urgent Care was dismissive of my request, per my oncologist, to get a Covid test to confirm my positive home-test and get treatment due to being high-risk (I'm stage 4 cancer). I left there after the front desk lady said, "We don't give confirmation covid tests," and continued to dismiss me without even asking me any questions or talking with me. That's when I drove to Evergreen on 214th.
At Evergreen, everything was great from when I walked in to when I left! The desk gal was kind and efficient, greeting me nicely and asking questions about how I was feeling, and what I needed, then getting me in quickly. The nurse was warm and knowledgeable, explaining what things might go into considering if they did a covid confirmation test or provided treatment with Paxlovid. Then the doctor was fantastic - a kind and intelligent woman with long red hair and an authentic aura about her. She asked about my situation and cared about my immune-suppressed state. The Evergreen doctor ordered a Covid nose swab and discussed other things they might do to help with the symptoms she asked about and be sure my weakened immune system was supported. She even helpfully explained that I likely wouldn't get a fever with Covid because my cancer drugs keep my immune system from being able to fight back as well against sickness (and fevers are the body fighting infection or virus).
I left feeling well-cared for, knowing they'd contact me shortly with test results and be sending a Paxlovid prescription to my local pharmacy if needed and likely an antibiotic to be sure they shored up my compromised immune system as much as possible. All in all a fabulous contrast to what I experienced at Edmonds Swedish Urgent Care!
I highly recommend Evergreen near 527 and 208th St SE! read more
