I really like this Patient First! I usually go to the one in Bowie but this one is closer for me. Everyone was warm and took my concerns seriously. They always lead with the happenstance that there is a long wait. However, they move as quick as they can. I did have a long wait but they were able to handle my problem quickly. Patch me up, provide me with antibiotics and pain meds, and send me in my way home. Doctors and PAs provide great recommendations and actually care about you as a whole. No racism or prejudice. I appreciate this location! I would definitely go back. They are my hidden gem read more

I've been to the patient first twice in the last month. Everyone I interacted from the front office to the nurse to the doctor was fantastic. Thank you for taking such great care of me. I haven't been that sick in a very long time. read more

This is the most professional and friendly Patient First that I have ever been, too. Danny and DeeShawn are exceptional patient intake professionals. I saw Rachel today at various times during my visit today. Very thorough! Megan M. PA-C care is outstanding! Keep up the great work! read more

Socialist doctors make sickness better than health. This place got very inappropriately political very fast. Doctors are who do that should be dealt with severely. In cases where there is no due oversight direct action is warranted. I'd like to catch that old bastard again. read more

JUNE 9TH, 2025, BEST PATIENT FIRST VISITEVER. Ive been to Patient First a few times, but yesterday's visit was the best. Called and asked if they were busy, and the Receptionist told me "not right now", so i went right over. Signed in, then about 2 minutes later Daniel called me back, took my information, as i was walking out of his cubicle, a nurse called me back, took my vitals, the another nurse, drew my blood, then it was right to Xray. Then a short wait for Dr. RORISON, he gave me 2 prescriptions, and I was out the door. Thank you to the staff, and Dr. Rorison read more

My husband and I are visiting family near Pasadena, Md. He gets the flu. My daughter-in-law says to go to Patient First which is near them. It was one of the best urgent care visits of my life! First, we were checked in immediately and seen right away. Second, they tested my husband and because they have a lab on site, there was no waiting. They diagnosed him with the flu and because they have a pharmacy on site, he got the meds he needed. Mind you, it was a Sunday, early evening and most pharmacies were closed. If they didn't have the meds on site he would have had to wait until the next day to get relief. I want to give a special shout out to PA Adam Sherman. He was amazing -- pleasant, funny, efficient and a real problem solver. I wish we had a Patient First in Florida wher we live. I can't say enough positives about this urgent care. read more

Do NOT go to this branch. They do not care about you. They told me there wasn't much of a wait. I then waited over an hour in the patient room and still was never helped. They said there was 1 patient ahead of me and refused to give me an estimated wait time. Their staff was just conversating like it was happy hour while I just sat there waiting to be helped. Go somewhere else.. read more

I've been here 2 hours and have yet to see a doctor. When I got here there was about 5 people in the waiting room. By the time I got in the back all 5 people and 8 people who came after me went to the back. I've now been in a room for 45 minutes waiting to even explain why I'm here?? But don't worry I've heard all about the dating lives of the doctor and nurses who aren't doing shit. read more

DO NOT USE if you have United Health Insurance They billed me for a office visit and added on procedures, vice an Urgent Care visit. Resulted in 40% increase in my bill. Their answer is we billed according to our contract with United Health. Not my problem, as my Urgent Care co-pay is supposed to be $50. I have proof it was an Urgent Care visit as they billed the old insurance company that way by mistake. Filing a Surprise Billing and MD States Attorney Medical compliant. read more

I had to take a family member here about a year ago when covid kicked their butt. The staff was amazing and efficient but unfortunately had to refer us to the ER. I can only hope that if I ever use this place again that I get the same quality service. read more

I have recently had to visit Patient First because I was extremely ill with COVID. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Dr. Everette LaFon who ordered xrays and determined I had pneumonia even though a negative COVID test. Sure enough, two days later, I was even worse and had a positive COVID test. Dr. LaFon saw me several times over Thanksgiving and into the weekend to make sure I was improving. It is because of Dr. LaFon that I turned the corner on the road to recovery. He was honest about the seriousness of my condition, informed me what to watch out for, and said to come back Thanksgiving night. He was there for me every step of the way. I am still sick but getting better thanks to him. I wish Dr. LaFon was my primary care doctor. I vow to see this wonderful physician every time I am ill. I rate him 5 stars without question. read more

I went in for a referral for a hurt elbow and the process took 3.5 hours.... but only ~20 minutes of actual service (including registration and vitals). Meanwhile, there was a frustrated patient in the Wtg room asking how much longer he has had to wait for his C-19 results. What?? They only test symptomatic people, so this likely infected person is sitting in the middle of the Wtg room, in the middle of other patients! I seemed to me that they were either terribly understaffed or completely disorganized. Meanwhile, they are managing their patients irresponsibly!! Get it together Patient First... or else change your name to 'Profit First' read more

Patient first - had an injury occur at work. Had a little bit of wait due to other patients inquires . Staff were all kind and professional. Physician was very kind and ensured I was taken care of . No issues for me . I will say this physicians are under slot of stress ! COVID , monkey pox , and who knows what else . They will get to you just be kind and patient . If anyone isn't doing what they should just ask to see the manager or let the nurse practitioner know . read more

I needed to get my nail removed because it was basically off. I got advice from my mother who is a doctor on what to do. I got told at first they would remove it, then the doctor told me no because they were uncomfortable. After I heard people talking outside about how it's past their working hours. I showed up with ample time as well. I ended up paying $145 for a bandaid. read more

The nurse and PA I encountered made such a scary day into a very nice visit. Everyone was so friendly and really listened to my concerns. I was in and out in a quick but thorough manner. Also will add that was the easiest and least painful blood draw I've ever had! Very appreciative after a scary day! read more

Checked in around 12:37, was called to the back around 12:47...wasn't seen by a doctor until after 2:00... Very slow service. I had to ask when the doctor would be seeing me, and then 10 min later the doctor came into the room - did not leave patient first until almost 315... read more

I have been waiting for over two hours for a routine issue. Had I not already paid a large co-pay I would have left. I will never visit this location again. They are horribly understaffed and the staff do not seem to mind that patients are waiting for hours for routine matters. I am no into my third hour waiting.... read more

I've had to visit more than I'd like this year and I'm pretty pleased with this Patient First location. Even at their busiest, I was seen in a reasonable amount of time. Providers from administrative staff, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physicians, and lab techs have all been professional. Most major insurance coverage is accepted and there is an online patient portal where you can view lab results if necessary. If prescribed medication it may be much easier for you to get the medication there than the nightmare that's become many local drugstores. read more

IF I COULD GIVE NO STARS FOR THIS VISIT I WOULD!!!!!!!! I have been a long-time customer/patient of the Pasadena MD location. I visited the Pasadena MD location on 03/22/2023 to speak with a provider about my eye(s). They had been going back and forth being bloodshot red, and then on 3/22/2023, the right one had a yellow hue to it. Upon meeting with Dr. David Rorison, he stated we would need to run some tests. I agreed, and he sent in the nurse. The nurse came in, and I asked what tests I would be doing (assuming it would be eye tests). She stated it was a covid and a flu test. I politely declined, as I have no symptoms of either, and I am also fully vaccinated. The nurse said no problem, and we wished each other a nice day. Dr. Rorison came back in, with an attitude saying, "WHAT'S GOING ON NOW TARA?".... Excuse me? I told Dr. Rorison with all due respect, I do not consent to take either a covid or flu test, as I was expecting an eye test. Dr. Rorison laughed, stated he sees over 150 patients a day, and many of them have the same symptoms I have. Dr. Rorison made me say no FIVE TIMES before offering me another solution, after I told him I wanted to leave. I told Dr. Rorison that I appreciate it, but now I was feeling pressured by a medical professional and wished to leave. Dr. Rorison then put his arm up against the wall, blocking me in the patient room, insisting I do not leave. I felt very cornered and unsafe. I started to get loud so that way a nurse or somebody could hear me. I told Dr. Rorison I wanted to leave, and he still blocked me in for about 1.5 minutes, which felt like a lifetime. I do not appreciate being made to feel this way, especially by a medical professional. I talked with the lady at the front desk as I was leaving, to get the Dr's name, and any contact info I could get to report this man. I will also be filing a civil suit against him. read more

Fast, professional, friendly, thorough, convenient. In and seen within 3 minutes. Several PA and the staff physician gave treatment. Easy to speak with. Informative, gave references to other specialists. Will be following up, as they requested. Close by, filled my script instantly. In and out under 40 minutes. Excellent experience here and I have been to many Patient Firsts (unfortunately) over the years. read more

Went in for a fracture. Registered quickly, x-ray's quickly, the read took a bit but obviously a foot is not that important; she was great (not sure if doc or np) and had me out of there in 10 mins. People were all super nice. Well organized. Had the patient portal up and x-rays available while I waited. Not sure why the negative reviews. read more

I am currently at the Patient First in Pasadena and the customer service is unprofessional from two staff members. If they're goal is to "care" for their patients then they should "care" and respect the family that is with the minor you brought in. I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN! I suggest anyone try a different location. I see they are rated 2 stars. That is terrible. read more

I have been in a few Patient first locations in the area over the years. When I visited, I resigned myself to spending at least 3 -4 hours. 2 hours in waiting room and 2 hours in the back exam room. I was pleasantly surprised when I visited this patient First Pasadena location. The staff were nice and professional. I was called to the back within 15 minutes of arrival. The doctor came in almost immediately. She was friendly and sympathetic. She took care of me and I was out of there within 30 minutes total. Thank you Dr Hamida Patel and staff. You are what true patient care is all about. read more

My husband had a broken pelvis, was in extreme pain. Needed an exray and they would not give him one. They judged him by his tattoos and assumed he was drug seeking when he told them that Oxycodone hurt his stomach. He needed a none narcotic pain killer. They gave him a shot of turdol. As he's walking out using a walker he dropped his paperwork and couldn't bend over to pick it up they all just watched him struggle. Don't go to this place. read more

Patient First Primary & Urgent Care - Pasadena - A place you should never visit - Urgent Care Near Me - Pasadena, Maryland

This place is so much better than the Right Time next door. The check in process is efficient and the team is always professional and consistent. Doctors have always provided clear information and are kind. read more

Great, quick service and wonderful bedside manner. I got there 10 min before they opened. They opened promptly at 8am. There were just 2 people in front of me. I was in and out in 45 minutes. Dr. Ambrose quickly diagnosed me, educated me on the prescription and how I should take it, and symptoms I should keep an eye out for that would signify my condition worsening and me needing additional medical attention. She was very educational and empathetic. Despite it being a quick visit I never felt like I was being rushed out or only seen as a dollar sign. read more

Patient First in pasadena, maryland deserves a minus one for having 'z' front desk intaker write down the wrong symptoms patient is stating upon entering the faciiity. These symptoms that were wrong was discussed with RN head and Physician Assistant. When i realized the front desk 'z" was spanish speaking i wrote on paper my symptoms. 'z' still wrote the wrong symptoms in my medical chart. I had to fight to get "z' errors out of my medical chart. This happened in feb 2022. As of May 2022 this 'z' is still employed at patient first pasadena, maryland office. read more

Very Unprofessional and rude. Just came for a physical and it was empty and there was lots of staff but took me forever to get me checked out. I do not recommend this one go to another client. read more

So I was as diagnosed with covid on Saturday and before I left I was told by the Dr. who diagnosed me that if I feel worse to return. Sure enough Sunday morning I was back with more symptom one of which was a crackling sound when I breathe and feeling worse. My negative reception from the female that took my vitals was unwarranted and very unprofessional. She even had the nerve to ask words for words "sir what is it you would like for us to do for you now because you should be in quarantine". I would like help because I feel much worse ma'am. Come to find out if I would not have returned I would not have found out that I not only have covid but also pneumonia. If this is how people get treated needing help I'll take my chances waiting 4hrs I the ER read more

So slow... waited 2.5 hours and still haven't gotten an x-ray, and will probably leave without getting any news at all. Waste of an afternoon read more

This place was painfully slow and provided poor quality care from start to finish. It took forever just to get set up as a patient with paperwork and they couldn't help me figure out insurance. Then, I spent over 45 minutes in the room waiting for the doctor. When I finally saw the doctor, she failed to ask enough questions to fully understand my medical history and make an informed decision. I would not recommend this place if you are looking for quality or urgent care. However, if you want slow low quality care, this is the place. read more

I am a very patient person, so when I walked in without an appointment I expected to have to wait. Well, try 4 hours. I wish I could say that I was exaggerating, but I'm not. I went in and came out 4 hours later. My time with the actual doctor was about 5-10 mins. The staff was so friendly, which is why I am giving this rating 2 stars and not 1, but their system needs improvement. At one point when I was about to leave because I thought they forgot about me, the doctor came in. She was happy, friendly, and apologized for the wait. She looked into my problem and gave me proper medication. Funny thing is no one asked if I was on any medication and it wasn't in the paperwork I filled out either (giving the doctor benefit of the doubt, I would assume the pills I was given don't have any bad chemistry with any drug to exist in the world which is why she didn't ask). Oh, while I was waiting to be seen I easily overheard the staff talk about how they don't get enough hours and get cut off before 40 and also learned about crab cakes being less expensive to just make yourself. Crab cake discussion is fine, but it made me a bit sore to hear the staff sitting around talking about food and I was sitting there for hours waiting. If you have an appointment, I feel your experience will be much better because the staff is so kind, but if your going in without one, then I don't think this is the right place to go. read more

I went here 12/3/15 just after 11 am complaining of severe pain in my neck and shoulder. Within a few minutes I was taken to the back area for blood pressure, temperature, etc.and was informed that my blood pressure was high. The young lady that took my vitals informed me that they did not have a bed available so I would need to go back to the waiting room. Somewhere around 11:40 I was escorted to a room with a curtain for privacy. Around about 1 I'm frustrated that no one has even peaked around the curtain. I'm a diabetic and I had breakfast around 8:00 am and now it's 1:00 and I can feel my blood sugar dropping. I guess my point is that I understand these places get busy and I not the only patient but they could have informed me the wait time would be several hours. Had they extended that courtesy to me I would have grabbed something to eat next door. while I was sitting in the room I could hear two ladies sitting outside that were holding personal conversations.One of them objected to calling a particular patient. Maybe one of them could have come by the room to give me a time frame to be seen. Finally I left at 1:15 the funny part is that they probably didn't even realize that I left. Later that day my wife calls to complain and they tell her the office manager was gone for the day and they would have her call on Friday. Do you want to guess where this is going? That's right no phone call. I have already called my insurance company so they don't pay for the service or lack of. I will call them 1 more time and if the office manager can't handle my complaint I'll call my credit card company and dispute my co-pay. Bottom line is these people just don't care. Urgent care places are popping up everywhere there are better alternatives! read more

I had a horrible kidney infection and was about to leave for a cruise... unfortunately I got sick late at night and went to this place to get care. I am so pleased that I did. The doctor gave me a shot of antibiotics and prescribed me oral antibiotics and pain killers. I am so lucky he was my doctor because I know alot of them wouldn't have ordered as many tests as he did. Although it took me about 3 hours to get out of there, i am happy. I was thuroughly looked over and made sure I was good and ready to go. I sincerely think I got better care here that I would have gotten at my regular doctors office. And it's a much shorter wait than going to an ER. read more

What you should take away from this review is Dr. Felicia Garcia, is excellent, the other semi-female doctor is HORRIBLE. Dr. Garcia is kind and compassionate, the other doctor is condescending and annoyed by your presence, like she is wasting her time by talking to you. I should have just waited for an appt with my PCP, but I can go to Patient First when I want. And I had such a great experience with Dr. Garcia, she helped me so much! But I won't go back here unless I absolutely have to and then I will call ahead and see when Dr. Garcia is scheduled. You have been warned-you are wasting your time seeing the other doctor. And if you want privacy, you can't get it here. Just waiting to be seen, you can hear doctors transcribing their visits with patients and you hear EVERYTHING that is wrong with that patient and their name and DOB. The weight/height/blood pressure spot-you can hear everything said in that area, too. I'm pretty sure there are some major HIPAA violations going on. It's really awkward to hear some of the stuff. read more

I've been to this location a few times for various reasons. I felt that I was diagnosed correctly each time and even purchased the prescriptions there, which saved me the time and effort of going to the pharmacy. I go to these guys after hours or when my GP can't take me that day. I don't feel the wait times are horrible for a walk-in clinic and I feel you get much better service than when I went to the CVS minute-clinic. read more

We took my wife into this location for a laceration on her hand that needed stitches. The medical assistant who takes your vitals and preps you to be seen by the nurse and Doctor was hands down the rudest most unprofessional employee I've ever had to deal with in the medical field. Eye rolls, scoffs, angry, mean and rough. I told my wife that I wouldn't allow her to treat her if she was going to do any of the procedure. Luckily we didn't see her again. We complained to the nurse and the doctor and they were very nice and apologetic for their colleagues behavior. That is the only reason I gave this location 3 stars instead of 1. I would go back again because I feel like this was an employee issue and not a facility issue. read more

Waiting an hour and a half in the patient room with not one staff member acknowledging that I am there or giving me an idea of when I'll be seen if unacceptable. Their service here is completely substandard. Choose a different Patient First location if you can avoid this one!! read more

Very friendly staff, nurses, phlebotomist, and doctor. Very clean facility. I was taken back to registration immediately and went directly from registration to triage. The phlebotomist came in quickly too. I did wait a little bit longer for the doctor but probably only about 15/20 minutes after the phlebotomist left. Thanks! read more

Got there, great service, got in quick, doctor was awesome then waited over an hour for billing department, real customer service problem. I am still waiting now! read more
