    Very disappointing experience…read more We had a very bad experience during our visit today. After checking in, we waited in the lobby for several minutes before staff called us into an exam room, where a male provider and a nurse were present. The provider asked questions, and we answered them. My child's symptoms were clearly visible on her face (a rash). I even asked whether antibiotics might be needed. No explanation was given, and we were sent to another room. After waiting more than an hour with no one checking on us, I pressed the nurse call button and asked what was going on and what we were waiting for. Later, another staff member came in, examined my child, and said she would prescribe an antibiotic. At that point, I was already frustrated by the long wait and asked, "Why wasn't this done in the first place, and why were we waiting so long?" Instead of apologizing or providing a professional explanation, she responded very rudely, saying: "He wasn't a doctor; he was a nurse and cannot prescribe medication. I am the doctor, and we have a lot of patients." However, this statement was not true. According to the visit documentation: * Justin Nippert, DO, is a licensed physician (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine). * Jessica Rachael Holder, APRN, is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. This means the male provider present earlier was in fact the doctor, and the person who spoke to me later was not a doctor. I also recall that Dr. Nippert prescribed medication for my other child during a previous visit several months ago. To make matters worse, when I went to the pharmacy, one of the prescribed medications was not covered by our insurance. Instead of waiting for the pharmacy to contact the provider and request a substitute, I had to pay out of pocket to avoid further delays in my child's treatment. Being given incorrect information, spoken to rudely, left waiting without communication, and placed in a situation that caused unnecessary out-of-pocket expense is unacceptable. Due to this experience and the lack of professionalism, I do not want this provider to treat my family again.

    UPDATE TO MY REVIEW ON 7/21/2025. MY RATE IS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE BELOW…read more On 7/24/2025, the director of the facility, Nathan, called me to discuss my recent visit and the events that followed. He listened to my concerns attentively and promptly addressed the most important one--ensuring that my prescription was filled. He also assured me that my other concerns would be addressed. I appreciate that he reached out personally and quickly, rather than responding with a generic message. He was professional and apologetic about my experience at the facility, which I truly value.

    I caught a virus shortly before my granddaughter was born. In order to be present/meet my…read moregranddaughter soon after she was born and NOT risk giving her what I had (unknown at that time) I decided to visit this location of Carespot as opposed to waiting for my doctor to give me an appointment. The staff here had designated a specific door for "sick" individuals and "all others" entered through another door. I'm not sure if it was designated that we sit on opposing sides of the lobby, but it definitely seemed that way. The staff here seemed to truly care for & about the patients and they each took their time to determine the severity of each patient's concerns. Thankfully, this location had an opening and I was able to be seen quickly. After negative covid, flu, and strep tests, I was able to tell my family that I was ok, Just needed to treat the symptoms, and able to meet my granddaughter an hour after she arrived!

    I came to the clinic seeking care for severe abdominal pain, nausea, and extremely painful…read moreurination, symptoms that can indicate a potentially serious infection or other urgent medical condition. After checking in and paying $100 for the visit, I waited to be seen by Dr. Christina. When Dr. Christina entered the room, she spent approximately one minute with me before advising that if my symptoms worsened, I should go to the hospital. Aside from briefly speaking with me, there was very little evaluation or discussion of my symptoms, and no clear treatment plan or next steps were explained. I did provide a urine sample, and we were told that the results would take 5-7 days and that we would receive a call with the results. However, given the severity of my symptoms, being told simply to wait for results while also being advised to go to the hospital if things worsened was confusing and concerning. Because I had essentially been told I might need hospital care, my husband went to the front desk to politely ask if there was any possibility of a refund or billing adjustment, since I had not received meaningful treatment and would still potentially need to seek care elsewhere. At that point, Dr. Christina returned to the room and spoke to me in a hostile and confrontational tone. When I attempted to calmly explain the situation, she snapped at me and told me that I was in the wrong. When my husband returned to the room, he asked Dr. Christina to clarify whether she had advised us to go to the hospital. Dr. Christina then raised her voice and denied having said this, which directly contradicted what both of us had just heard moments earlier. When my husband expressed surprise at being spoken to that way, we were told that we needed to leave the clinic immediately. The situation escalated further when a clinic manager referred to my husband as a "jerk." Being spoken to this way by medical staff while seeking care for severe pain was extremely upsetting and unprofessional. Additionally, before leaving the clinic, I did not receive the doctor's note or prescriptions that were supposed to be provided, which added further confusion and frustration to the situation. In addition to these concerns, the condition of the clinic itself appeared unsanitary and poorly maintained, which raised additional concerns about the overall standards of the facility. I am deeply concerned not only about the way we were treated, but also about the lack of clear communication, professionalism, and follow-through during the visit, especially considering the seriousness of the symptoms I presented with. I am requesting that this incident be reviewed by clinic leadership. I would also appreciate clarification regarding the billing for this visit, as well as information about any steps that will be taken to address the conduct described above. Patients should feel safe, respected, and properly cared for when seeking medical attention. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet those expectations. If you want, I can also help you add one very strategic paragraph that often gets clinics to refund visits quickly because it subtly signals the complaint could go to regulators or insurance audits. It's extremely effective but still professional

    I visited the Hodges location this morning for care. However, after the greeting and interaction I…read morehad with the front desk employee, I opted to cancel my appointment due to lack of confidence in this facility. Not only did the person at the front desk infer (and directly state) I was fighting with her because I questioned the charge, her lack of knowledge about the insurance process made me feel uncomfortable with the competence of the front office staff -- and potentially the doctors -- at this facility. When I mentioned my concerns, she said she was new and had been trained to say this to patients who questioned the charge. She said she didn't want to fight with me about this, which I found disconcerting as I was not fighting. I just asked why I was being charged when my deductible had been met. She explained that my individual deductible had been met, but not my family one. I questioned this interpretation, as this is not how the deductible is defined, based on my experience and my visits to other health care providers. She repeated that she was not going to fight with me, then in a curt tone, she said I would be getting a bill from my insurance company. The term "fighting" along with her attitude toward me -- and what this said about the quality of care I might receive at this location -- made the decision to find care elsewhere an easy one. And I left.

    I am shocked to see the scores are so extremely low on this place. I mean I get it - urgent care…read morevisits are always rough. But 1.5 stars is shocking given the service I had. I woke up at like 3am with a sore throat and couldn't fall asleep, and I thought it might be strep so I made an appointment here for 9:30 hoping for a rapid strep test (followed by some antibiotics if it was positive). Got there at 9:20 to fill out paperwork (as they state in the confirmation). I wanted to be sure I was there in plenty of time for that because my insurance did indeed change. Here's where my challenge comes in... no one was at the front desk but they had a sign "be seated, we'll be right with you". Ok. Cool. Someone came out of the back and I fully expected they'd acknowledge and ask if everyone had been helped. Nope - just kinda looked around and went back to the back. Finally someone came back out - the actual front desk person and I filled out the proper things and was actually called back right about 9:40. So not bad. But... it sure would go a long way to just acknowledge humans if you're popping out. The care itself was fine. The nurse I had was lovely. Took vitals. Came back after that for strep swab. I waited about 40 mins for that to come back. Then they decided better do mono test. Fine. Too more time. Finally the doc popped in to tell me just a regular boring virus. Fluids and rest. The entire visit took nearly 2 hours. Which is obscene for going in for a rapid strep test. Prob could have gone to the ER in less time. Still giving 3 stars and some grace tho because everyone I did speak to was kind and helpful. And I know that takes a lot when you're dealing with grouchy unwell people all day.

But John Arce (the doctor/NP or PA) was very skilled and qualified, but he normally does not work in this location. That said...my advice would be to STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! I went for stitches to the Durbin location. I saw Stephanie Dorsey. She said "oh this is surface level, no stitches needed". I hedged because I knew it was deep. So to appease me she agreed to stitches. Once she started stitching she realized it actually was quite deep. However, no one cleansed the wound or irrigated it. I received no discharge paperwork with instructions either. She just said to keep it dry and change the gauze once a day. As a result of their neglecting to clean it and the poorly done stitches, it got seriously infected. Two days later I went back in a lot of pain saying I thought it was infected, the assistant named Talf said he would give me his "expert opinion" (who by the way is just an x-ray tech) said it "definitely was not infected". The doctor (John Arce) who truly was absolutely wonderful (but does not normally work in the Durbin location,) said it definitely was infected and seriously so. I was put on heavy antibiotics and told to watch it carefully. John Arce was wonderful and even called me the next day to check on me. I had to have an MRI to make sure the tendon was ok and I had two follow up visits to my primary care. When I had to get the stitches out, they were so poorly done I was referred to a wound care clinic. They basically had to reopen the wound to cut out the stitches and the necrosis that had formed. There is nothing you can do to make this horrific experience better. They should have cleaned this wound out when I got there and done a cleaner stitch job. I needlessly was put through so much emotional anguish and physical stress, as well as multiple antibiotics for no reason, had they done their job of cleaning out the laceration . Your xray tech ought not to be giving shots of antibiotics (I question his skill) and definitely not assessing patients' conditions. This was clear malpractice and neglect.
