This review is for a few years ago when I had Mono and strep throat at the same time. My schools…read morehealth clinic only did a rapid strep ~ 2 weeks before I had to go to urgent care. My throat was so swollen, full of exudate, my tonsils were almost touching, couldn't eat or drink much, eyelids and face were so swollen I looked so unrecognizable for 2 weeks. I went to urgent care after feeling weak and because I still had a fever and was only able to take OTC (which I could barely swallow with my throat being so gross) ANYWAY I arrived, was seen very quickly, virals and assessment, given IV hydration which helped my fever and just made me feel a million times better, got a strep culture instead of just a rapid, and received a personal phone call from the PA the same night that it was positive for strep and she sent antibiotics to my local pharmacy. I felt SO much better the next morning and literally cried from joy because I felt so horrible for what felt like forever and missed so many undergrad classes. Most of the reviews on here that are bad are very unreasonable and from frustrated individuals who don't understand what an urgent care is for. Many times you DO need to make an appointment with yourself PCP or got to the ER. There are certain symptoms that really require them to refer u to the ER etc. it's not because people are lazy and don't don't want to work it's because they care, worried something else is going on, or are not comfortable trying to diagnose/treat something.

My wife scheduled an appointment over 24hrs in advance and arrived 15min early the day of. She…read morereceived several text confirmations and payment was made ahead of the appointment. She arrived 15min early the morning of the appointment, and her name was not listed in the self-service kiosk. She spoke with a lady at the front desk who was rude to her and said that her name was not in the system and that the text confirmation "did not mean anything." My wife was told that a new appointment was created for later that same day. No further instructions were given. My wife returned the same day 10min before her appointment and was told by a man at the front desk that no appointment had been created and that she needed to wait 2 hours in the waiting room to be seen. Horrible experience. Unhelpful staff. Payment received and no service performed.

Quest Diagnostics collects specimens for a variety of laboratory tests, including for infectious…read morediseases, cardiac health, digestive health, and general health. You need a physician's order, which you can obtain either directly through Quest's website or through your own provider. To pay for your tests, you can use a credit card or an HSA card in advance on Quest's website, or you can pay with an insurance card in person during your appointment. On a Saturday evening, I decided that I wanted to order some laboratory tests. I logged onto Quest Direct's website, and I ordered a Women's Health Profile and a Gluten Allergy Test Panel for a total of $318. Next, I scheduled an appointment at this location of Quest. I felt very thankful that this location opens early at 6:30 AM, and I was able to make an appointment for Monday morning. Quest's email had told me to arrive 10 minutes early for my appointment, so on Monday, I arrived at 6:30 AM for my 6:40 AM appointment. I signed in with a tablet computer. After a wait of about one or so minutes, a phlebotomist called me to a room in the back. Another customer was having trouble with signing into the tablet, so the phlebotomist kindly helped him for a minute. Because I had already paid in advance for my tests, we saved many minutes of time. The phlebotomist applied a tourniquet around my arm, cleansed my arm, and easily found my vein with her needle. She filled test tubes with my blood, and she carefully bandaged my arm. For my urinalysis test, she gave me a cup and directed me to the bathroom. Then I was done! I walked out of Quest at 6:39 AM--one minute before my 6:40 AM appointment was supposed to start! Update: Quest took 6.5 days to report my lab results to me. I thought that timeline was long, but the MyQuest website was easy to navigate.

I am extremely disappointed in my experience at this Quest location. Typically I go to the Robinson…read morelocation and the staff does such a wonderful job, but I went to the McKnight location since it's near my boyfriends house. The phlebotomist that did my blood draw was personable, but definitely not nearly as experienced as the folks in Robinson. She hit a nerve while doing the blood draw and I have had this awful shooting pain down my forearm, wrapping around my wrist, and onto my hand for a week now. It has restricted me from exercising, doing certain things at my job, & using my right arm for just about anything. This is the first time I have ever had to experience something like this and I wish that there was more I could do. I believe this was entirely avoidable and caused by negligence on behalf of this staff member. To make the situation worse, there is no way to speak to a representative or even get in contact with a phlebotomist. The phone number provided by Quest is extremely limited to its abilities and was useless to me. I wish that there was something else that I could do to better this situation, or even prevent this from happening to another person.

I looked at other reviews that didn't have the best comments, but the reviews were from a while ago…read moreand a lot can change in time. I went to their lab to get blood drawn. I walked in (no appointment needed) and signed in on the sign-up sheet. A woman that worked there told me to "just sit down and they'll call you". I started to sit and before I got onto the chair they called me in. It was maybe 3 minutes from top to bottom! The person drawing the blood (wish I remembered her name...) literally had a needle in my vein immediately and got the blood she needed. The whole visit took about 10 minutes max! I can't say enough about how efficient it all was. Granted, they could be much busier at other times and it might take longer but I was impressed. A+

I have to say i was a little confused as to how to rate this so called hospital…read more My son was very sick and has AHN insurance. My wife took him to AHN Mccandless Hospital. The nurses and doctors where fine the receptionists where fine as well. My problem is that they call it a hospital when it really is just a big urgent care facility. After blood work and testing the doctor said that they where not capable of diagnosing my sons problems as they do not have any specialty doctors on staff. What the heck no specialty doctors why even call yourself a hospital???????. The doctors said they where going to transfer him to Wexford Hospital. I do not get it they do thousands and thousands of dollars in tests only to say they can't do anything to help. Then to boot some one is paying for an ambulance to transfer him to the other hospital. If I was you I would avoid this so called hospital like the plague. I will be sure to never go here again. This is not a hospital so do not be fooled into thinking it is. If you have basic problems I am sure they can help, But anything remotely serous there is no way for them to help you. I must say again please do not go here unless you have no serious problems. With that said It was our fault for going here. I would normally give one star but the nurses and even the doctors where very nice even if they could not help. Normally for this level of care I would probably give 3-4 stars. Overall I will give 2 stars which is very generous.

Under no circumstances should any staff member of central outreach be discussing about patients and or their personal healthcare especially if the patient is not present to defend themselves..... The average 20 - 30 min should not be that long especially if your the first patient of the day on the walk in side there's no reason why I should have waited 35min at 9am got seen by 10am was out the doors by 1045am that's unacceptable. When a specific provider is being asked for and called for ---- STOP SENDING SOMEONE WHO WE DIDNT ASK FOR The waiting rooms need to be more expanded it gets way to crowded by 1115am and most people have to start standing or they go outside back to their cars.....

This was a stellar experience, one that was so far above many urgent care centers I have ever been…read moreto before. This was my first ever visit with any Med Express Urgent Care Center. Because we ate in the COVID era, as with other medical venues, you call from the parking lot to checkin. They set up a profile which only takes a few minutes then someone calls when they're ready for you to come inside. It was literally immediate turnaround at at about 8:30 am on a weekday when they opened at 8am. Once inside I sat in the waiting room no more than 2 minutes when called back to a room. Then after taking vitals, it was, again, only moments before the nurse practioner greeted me and tended to my care. This and it wasn't life and death or even an emergency, just needed a diagnosis and some meds to relieve situation. I was treated well and all, every single staff member, was cordial, efficient, but more important, they seemed to all want to be there and be of true help. I do not see that at a UPMC facility (they instead strive to be efficient but at the expense of the patient are curt, don't listen, and don't seem to care about being people-centric). What a breath of fresh air. And the place is very nice looking with the middle being the central hub enclosed in glass on all sides for waiting room checking on one side and checkout on the other. I was in and out within maybe 25 minutes and feeling satisfied they listened to me and treated my condition appropriately without my feeling rushed.

I saw a bunch of people walk in after me expecting to be seen or put on a waitlist, but without an appointment, they were told to return later. Seems like making an appointment online is the best option. I made an appointment at 9 AM for a 1:30 appointment same day. The nurse practitioner was super kind and helped me solve my weekend crisis quickly!
