My name is Sarwer Chowdhry and I was treated at WellNow Urgent Care, 1438 Western Ave, Albany, NY,…read moreon July 10, 2026 for a cutaneous abscess of the left upper limb. The provider performed an incision and drainage (I&D) under local anesthesia, extended your antibiotic treatment, and gave you detailed homecare and follow-up instructions.
My Review:
I had an outstanding experience at WellNow Urgent Care on 1438 Western Ave in Albany.
I especially want to recognize Callie Geeslin, PA-C, for providing exceptional care. Based on my condition, she could have simply sent me to the Emergency Room by saying that the clinic did not have the necessary equipment for an incision and drainage (I&D) procedure. Instead, she took the time to evaluate my abscess carefully, explained everything clearly, numbed the area, and performed the I&D with great skill and professionalism. She treated a painful abscess on my left forearm that had continued to worsen despite antibiotics, and I truly appreciate her confidence, expertise, and compassionate approach. She is truly a gem of a provider.
I would also like to thank Ashley, the nurse, who applied my dressing with a smile, was extremely polite and caring, and even provided me with extra dressing supplies for my next dressing change. Her kindness and attention to detail made a stressful situation much easier.
The entire visit exceeded my expectations. I am very grateful to Callie Geeslin, PA-C, Ashley, and the staff at WellNow Urgent Care for their excellent care. They are a tremendous asset to WellNow, and I highly recommend this location to anyone needing urgent medical attention.
Kind regards, Sarwer Chowdhry
