The first time I went here in 2024 it was wonderful. Good doc, quick service and very friendly and…read morehelpful staff. Something happened in the past 6 months though. I went on a Sunday because of a worrisome insect bite. The provider was a very rude and unprofessional person. Constantly interrupted me and then blamed me for the inflamed bite, saying I caused the problem by putting alcohol on the bite-which I did only once. ONCE! They then proceeded to take a blood sample. This is day 6 and my arm is still swollen, tender and black and blue from my elbow to my wrist. I am not a person who bruises easily. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! They will also text you every day after your visit appearing to be concerned and asking you to make another appointment. My GP was horrified at the care I received.

This was the worst urgent care experience I have ever had. I have visited this facility many times…read moreand usually received decent service. However, today's visit was especially disappointing. I waited over an hour in the waiting area, even though there were no other patients in the waiting room waiting. Perhaps there was one person being seen.  When I was finally called in, the assistant took my vitals, then the doctor entered the room. She didn't introduce herself (I later learned that her name is (Bernice Monroe )and kept asking if I had been wheezing. I responded negatively, and she briefly listened to my lungs and heart--about ten seconds. She then said she would prescribe a steroid, claiming it would treat the condition if it was allergies. I questioned this, clarifying that my symptoms didn't suggest allergies, and explained I'd been experiencing a chest cough and chest pain for several days. During this, she visibly yawned, looking tired rather than disinterested. I voiced my concerns about the steroid, noting there was no reason to prescribe it. I asked if she detected signs of pneumonia or bronchitis, and she responded no, but still planned to prescribe a steroid for allergies. She said if my symptoms worsened, possibly indicating bronchitis, it would treat that too--despite my clear statements to the contrary. I also pointed out she hadn't examined my ears, nose, or throat. She rolled her eyes and said, "oh, it's one of those days," before grabbing a tongue depressor. When I asked her to wear gloves, as she had requested me to open my mouth, she threw the depressor away, declared she was done, and left. I was so shocked by this lack of care that I told the waiting people they were about to be seen by a terrible doctor. This outburst was completely unlike me. I was just so outraged. I am at a loss for words about this whole experience. I am very disappointed because this location is quite convenient for me.

Online scheduling was easy and the reception staff and nurse were very friendly and helpful. We…read morewere told it would still be a long wait as there was only one provider present. We did not see that provider. 1.5 hours after our scheduled appointment, we saw a PA. She spent less than 5 minutes with my sick mother. She gave some advice for my mother living with Alzheimer's that I found to be irresponsible. I prompted her to provide better guidance as my mother needed to hear it from a medical professional, and she did not. Very little inquiry about my mother's presenting issue was taken and she was out the door. She did not even check her throat or ears. It was a lightening fast and completely useless appointment. The reception staff went out of their way to be friendly and caring. The medical staff could take some notes. We were utterly dissatisfied and I will never bring my mother back to this Urgent Care, and I will advise others to steer clear. I have since checked the clinical notes on MyChart and there is completely inaccurate information. It said that the patient reported no fever or chills or sore throat. My mother has suffered all three in the last five days and it began longer than three days ago, which was incorrectly indicated on her chart. Had the PA listened better, perhaps she would have made a more thorough examination. We understand that there was a staffing issue and waited patiently. However, the resulting care was considerably insufficient.

My family and I have been going to this medical group since 2004, so I will warn you that this…read moregroup only cares about your money. They don't care about you at all, and they lie straight to your face. The nurses that make the calls/pick up the phone are hostile and horrible to work with. If you go in for an appointment, which costs you 50 dollars (or whatever your copay is) just to go in, you see the doctor for about 3 to 5 minutes and will rush through your appointment as fast as they can, you end up waiting for close to 30 minutes in the exam room before you actually get to see the doctor; more than a 50/50 chance that you'll walk out of the office with a random prescription that doesn't fix your medical issue. I guarantee that you will spend more time waiting than anything else. Another tactic they like to use is holding prescriptions hostage, medications that you need for everyday living, against you if you do not come in for a visit, and they will refuse to give any of the medication until you go in for an appointment. For me, my medication allows me to go through everyday life without having the 10 panic attacks a day that I had been having prior to taking this medication. The nurse that called did not explain why I needed to come in, only telling me that this would be the last refill I would receive without getting an appointment. I told her that I was not comfortable to go in, with everything that's going on right now, and that I did not want to spend 50 dollars for them to do nothing but give me the same prescription that I've been getting for months! It's completely ridiculous. So in conclusion, Don't waste your time or money! DO NOT GO!

I have been a patient for a very long time. I have seen quality of care and professionalism slip…read moredownwards over the last three years to a place that I never thought it could go. I switched PC because Damico takes all of 5 minutes, rushes you through the visit like you are an inconvenience, and throws pills at every problem. Then you have Shah, who is actually better than Damico and takes her time, but then tries folk medicine cures. If you have a PHD, why tell someone to drink apple cider vinegar for heartburn? Yes, you heard this correctly. Every answer she has is some honest to goodness real medicine, yet she throws the low-rent frontier home remedies in like its real science. Then you have Purcel. He's probably the best, but when he takes so much time with his patients that the others have to wait an extra hour and a half to see him (without any staff calling you on the phone to let you know) then you almost want Damico to yank you through an appointment. Then you have the staff. Mean, inattentive, and just plain dim. there are two of the desk personal that are nice. Two. The rest are unfriendly machines that need repairs often. I asked why no one called me to let me know that Purcel was a foul 1.5 hours behind. "We, um, don't call, um, because he may catch up". I informed them that the real reason was it would make the office look bad. Or as I feel, give an accurate portrayal of what really goes on there. Please be advised that no matter how good a doctor may be, his desk staff can ruin anything. Skylands Medical staff are very good at destroying a therapeutic environment with their sour ineptitude. You are better off going elsewhere.

Overall, I'd say this is an average office, but my experience was unnecessarily difficult. I…read morespecifically chose this location because they do blood work in-house and scheduled my physical weeks in advance around the phlebotomist's schedule. Despite this, I arrived fasting for my appointment only to find out she was unexpectedly out. I was given multiple different return dates afterward, none of which were accurate, and the office never proactively communicated the changes. The alternative lab was also closing early because they were overwhelmed, and I was told they would bill the blood work separately from my physical, which was another issue I had to sort out myself. There were also several smaller issues that added to the overall feeling of poor attention to detail, including my height being recorded incorrectly by about five inches and my visit summary documenting conversations and screenings that never actually happened. The PA I saw, Lauren, was very nice and the appointment itself was quick, but I was disappointed with the follow-through regarding my actual health concern and blood work results. Given my history with the issue, I expected more discussion about the treatment options, and the results were ultimately communicated by a medical assistant rather than the provider. I also had an uncomfortable interaction with the phlebotomist, who repeatedly asked for detailed directions to my home, which felt inappropriate and crossed a personal boundary. Overall, everyone was generally polite, but there were issues at almost every step that left me doing far more work than I should have had to. I think this location is probably fine for a routine physical, but based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend it if you need blood work or have more specific concerns.

They essentially implied that it was part of the ageing process. A close friend suggested to me to visit Medical Care Associates for getting help. Dr. Sandhu looked at my blood report and put me on a prescription medicine.

I have been walking (weather permitting) for 3-4 times a week; a little over an hour each time, without getting tired. The doctors are very compassionate and the supporting staff has always been very kind and polite to me.

When i…read morearrived at urgent care in succussunna and explained my situation, which ended up being covered under workmans comp, they told me i would need to pay 125 for an office visit. Before i got a claim number from work, that was what i would need to give them before they would see me. I could be wrong about being covered at a place like this but I'm pretty sure i am covered through the VA. Anyway, i got the politics worked out and was finally seen for my swollen itchy hand due to a hornet sting. After some vitals were taken and was given a cortizone shot, i was on my way. OK REAL REASON FOR THE 1 STAR........ at the pharmacy, i was told my insurance needed yo further clear my coverage because the Dr prescribed me a 6000 dollar pill!!!! 6000 people, that's your taxpaying dollars funding research on a time release pill that goes for 600 dollars a pill. 10 pills X $600 = 6000 for ONE FREAKIN HORNET STING.

I have read some negative reviews of this practice which almost all focus on scheduling, billing,…read morewait times, and other office related matters that patients have found annoying. I haven't experienced these issues to any greater extent than any other medical practice. Any issue of such a nature that anyone could have pales in comparison to what should be the number one priority - competence and diligence of the doctors. All the doctors I have seen over the many years at this practice have been excellent. I believe Dr. Peters saved my life. After seeing I didn't take any follow-up action (which means she was personally keeping track of me) on inconclusive results on a scan, Dr. Peters called me personally and insisted I go for a biopsy. It was cancer and delaying treatment further could have been catastrophic. The doctor I ask for most often is Dr. Friedman. He is attuned to my preference to avoid meds and helps me focus on preventative care and other solutions. I have heard stories of doctors outside this practice who insist that only a single medical concern be addressed at a visit. Dr. Friedman will address as many unrelated concerns as I bring up at a single visit. Getting a proper diagnosis can be the most critical aspect in addressing a medical issue. Dr. Miccio's diagnostic skills are quite remarkable and the greatest asset of the practice. Countless times over the years he has zeroed in on the cause for some issue that other doctors had neglected to think of. For years my son had a recurring open sore on his cheek in the exact spot where, when he was a baby, a child bit him. For years other doctors said that was a coincidence and tried all kinds of ineffective treatments. I finally saw Dr. Miccio who immediately suspected it was not a coincidence and had the sore tested. It was herpes from the bite. The treatment he then prescribed was astoundingly effective. When weighing the positives and negatives of one practice over another, I think it's imperative to focus on what's really important for one's health instead of minor annoyances due to office related issues that, in my experience, are common to most practices.

Based on other Physical Therapy centers I expected maybe $100 out of pocket. Well, they charged me $1100.00 per each 40 minute session! My PT now said "I don't even have access to the billing codes they used". Atlantic Health Rehabilitation of Byram's response was "we are a Rehab center in a hospital setting" Hospital setting?????... I did all the exercises myself, the therapist just watched. I don't really care about that, it's the outrageous cost of a 40 minute session that I want everyone to know about. Be diligent, figure out your out of pocket before attending this facility. Total cost for 6 sessions = $6600.00!!!! My insurance paid 80% so I'm left with a $2000 bill.
