Got in quickly an hour before closing and saw someone in probably record time for a medical visit. I'd already been to an AllCare facility so they already had all my info.

I've been here twice recently due to a consistent case of pink eye (gross) and have been really…read moreimpressed by the two main doctors. I don't know what their credentials are, but they're both really knowledgeable (and I say that as the daughter of a very skeptical nurse). They've both asked about my medical history, reviewed previous notes in the system and talked me through necessary steps to care for my silly eyes. Last time I was there, other patients were clearly fighting the flu, and the doctor actually came out with sanitary masks for them to wear to minimize the spread of germs. As others have noted, the wait times are rarely ideal, but that's true across the CVS system--you have to sign up, bring a book and make peace with the fact that you will be late to work. Still, this is easier and cheaper than going to my primary care provider for anything short of a broken bone, and given there's a pharmacy on site, it's really straight forward to pick up whatever meds might be prescribed. If you're feeling sick, you have my apologies, but at least you're going to receive high quality care at this clinic!

PROS * Service from nurses and staff was good * Admin around billing and appointments were easier to handle than other healthcare, part of why I keep trying AllCare vs. other offices. CONS * Frustrated that my request for referrals went to a less visible part of a their website. It wasn't a message, it was under My Health - Health Reminders at the bottom of the page. So frustrated.

FALSE ADVERTISING, REAL ATTITUDE -- STAY AWAY! Urgent Care Without the Urgent -- or the Care…read more AllCare Primary & Immediate Care on Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda proudly advertises "Immediate Care" and "Walk-ins Welcome" in big white letters on a red background. It's even in their NAME! That's a bold claim--and a completely false one. I went there because I was genuinely sick and needed to be seen--exactly why urgent care clinics exist. I sat there for nearly an hour filling out forms and handing over samples, only to be told at the very end that I should "come back at 5:30," more than 3 hours from the time I walked-in. If I could wait two more hours, I wouldn't have gone to a place advertising urgent care. What made it worse was that the waiting room never had more than two people in it, yet I was told they were somehow "fully booked." Then, magically, there was a "glitch" with my insurance--something that has never happened to me anywhere else. I calmly asked one simple question: how long until I can be seen? Instead of an answer, a little man with a full-blown Napoleon complex marched out and immediately escalated things--talking down to me from below, and acting like authority mattered more than actually helping a sick person. It felt less like healthcare and more like a power trip run by a healthcare tyrant. The end result: they simply refused to see me at all. This place is chaotic, misleading, and deeply unprofessional. I can't speak to the medical care, because I never received any--but if the doctors are anything like the front office, that's all the more reason to stay away. If you're sick and actually need timely care, go somewhere that means it when it says "immediate." If you need an urgent care in Bethesda, try MedSTAR Health Urgent Care, 4507 Stanford St, Chevy Chase. You will notice the stark difference in professionalism from the moment you walk in the door.

I was told it would be $100 per person for a total of $200 for treating long, thick hair for lice/nits. Instead on the spot it was charged $250 per person for a total of $500. I tried to dispute it, but I was told the price I was charged was the correct price. The fee to come to my home ($125) was also a little higher than quoted ($100) on the phone. They knew the distance to my home. On the other hand Adrian and her team were very nice and professional. They did a very good job and were knowledgeable. I do recommend the business, but make sure you lock in the price with email or text confirmation before they come to your home so that it is not changed.

Reception and staff are all polite and decent, and will assist you as best they can. I was really worried about an issue I had and I was in a lot of pain, but I was well taken care of here! I got treatment and medication, and it was pretty much a breeze. Dr. Rashid (I believe) was the doctor I first saw, and he was good. He patiently checked my symptoms and prescribed medication. Additionally and specifically, I'd like to give a 5 star review to Melissa. She was remarkably patient and understanding throughout my whole "operation," explained everything she was going to do step-by-step, gave me detailed treatment instructions, and even checked up on me after. Thanks again! OVERALL: I can't speak to the DuPont location (though I hear it's good), but I can recommend this facility if you have an issue that needs attention but doesn't warrant an emergency.

The nurse took my vitals and then told me to give a urine sample; I had to tell her that this was not a urine test. Then at 11:15, 45 minutes after my appointment and 2 hours after I called to make the appointment, they told me all their test kits that I needed were expired and that I should go to the other Medics USA. They claimed they would call that location to let them know I was coming, but as far as I could tell that did no good, as I still waited over 90 minutes at the second location (where service was even worse, will write a separate review).

You check-in at the kiosk but there are many pages to enter information. I'm hoping since this was the first time that I used a Minute Clinic, I would not have to enter my information again when I return for another visit. Please note that the online appointments do not ask what vaccine you are getting unless you are getting a Covid-19 vaccine. I called the day before my appointment to verify that the vaccine that I wanted was actually available. The pharmacist was very helpful (though it was a rather long wait on the phone for someone to answer). You should also note that CVS and Minute Clinic are two different entities. The pharmacist wanted me to make sure that my insurance covers either CVS and/or Minute Clinic. It's been a while since I visited this particular CVS on Rockville Pike but it has changed. The back of the store has both the pharmacy and now an optical center. I was very impressed with the openness of the area. The store just looked bright with lots of good lighting.

I had an interview today, yet not before the 'screening for access' took place: Pull vehicle forward. Turn off engine.

After a few minutes of having my ID scanned more ways than one, providing the small piece of paper from the initial license plate log in, I was giving a temporary visitor pass with a full headshot & my name displayed. I was then allowed to go on my way. A way that took 30 minutes of following the map to the dedicated building. Actually, locating the building only took 10 minutes with a couple of u-turns here & there, yet finding parking was the most time consumption. Kudos to the NIH police officer off the Old G-Town Road gateway entry for pointing me in the right direction to a MLP (Multi-Level Parking garage) that had spaces available. I'm sure if I passed him one more time, he would not have been as friendly. :-) Although I arrived 45 minutes early, I was now against the clock from finding the building & a parking space. & in clutch mode, the kind spirited parking attendant MLP-6 heard my internal plea & told me to leave my keys with her & to be on my way...THANK YOU Ms. T -working the AM shift! After a few more friendly fingers pointing me in the right direction, I arrived to the laboratory, one of many massive laboratories housed in one building. Well perhaps I knocked on the wrong door at first, yet the Lab Techs & eventually the Lab Manager were all very nice turning me around to the appropriate laboratory. Every facet of a person I crossed paths with today, whether maintenance, law enforcement-security check in, clinical, scientific, & even an Educator, was simply pleasant & helpful. I can only imagine the camaraderie amongst everyone within these 27 different institutes that makes up NIH. & their own personal stamp in discovering innovations to improve health & or save lives.
