I came here for the first time for a sick visit. I'd noticed NEMS' presence in Parkside and Outer Sunset before, but I didn't realize they were in operation because when I passed by, they seemed shuttered. Well I'm really happy I found out otherwise. In the past, I always scheduled appointments at the locations on Stockton St or San Bruno Ave, but both are incredibly far, so it's great to have NEMS within walkable distance.
Everyone from reception to the doctor was kind and helpful. Never at any point did I feel like they were trying to prescribe me something I really didn't need, and they were transparent when something might not be covered by insurance.
I ended up getting lab work done at 1450 Noriega just down the street. The technician who drew my blood was one of the top two I've had in my life, which is saying a lot! I've been told I have small, rolling veins, so bloodwork is usually physically traumatic and I end up with an ugly purple bruise that takes days to heal. I expected the same here, but nope. I barely felt the prick and there was minimal to no bruising afterwards ftw! I wish I could only ever schedule this technician who made my experience completely stress-free.
Oh and the best part yet was the quick turnaround getting my aftercare summary and results. Yep, suffice it to say I'll be coming back here for my medical needs whenever scheduling allows. read more
