They are so godly slow it's not even funny. You'll get over your sickness before they come back in. If I could rate zero stars I would.

Worst experience ever. I took my child here due to ear pain. Aimee the director of medical support refused service , saying ear pain was an emergency and told me take my child to the hospital. I have been going here for years and put up with the 3hr wait time. But this is unacceptable. read more

Check in was quick and the staff up front were kind. The woman that brought us back was kind as well. Then the bad experience started. I will update this as I'm still here. It has been over an hour sitting in the back waiting to even get my child checked out. read more

I got the chance to visit this place with my mom who got a little injury at home for urgent care. This place is so great when it comes to wait times, the kindness of front desk, billing, techs and doctors. The above and beyond service from everyone specially front desk staff and radiology tech is much appreciated. I highly recommend this place. read more

let's just say the two stars rating is accurate and up to their standards for this specific location only if I could give it zero stars I would those people come there not to work instead they seat there in groups chit chatting like it's college or on a lunch break meanwhile their on the clock getting paid .. today was by far my worst experience here I will go to other locations moving forward it's called urgent care they don't have enough patient to even pretend to be busy . I literally walked out without saying a word thank god my daughter is feeling better but who ever managed this piece of establishment needs to get fired cause employees only can do what's allowed .. thank god they are other options again terrible customer service they should close it or fire and hire a new team ! sincerely a dissappointed customer read more

Updating my 5 star to a 4. This is my 3rd time here, the first two times went fine. This time I got called back immediately after check in and then sat for an hour and a half because my provider left and didn't hand me off to anyone. Took me asking what's going on before anyone saw me. read more

Went here for my workman's compensation, regret coming here at all. I work in Pest Control which means I'm around hazardous chemicals every day I work, I was told that my dog bite while small, was not an "immediate concern" and that to wrap a plastic bag or wrap and to continue working. Our own gloves have to be of a special blend of nitrile and butyl, imagine what insecticides would do to plastic on a 90+ degree day. Staff was fine, doctors not so much, and the wait time was horrible. No point in having a walk in basis for the clinic if the wait times are more than an hour and takes less than 10 minutes to evaluate someone's condition. All I asked was a recommendation of light duty work, maybe a concern that working the usual load I do would be best advised against, but I was brushed off and ignored. If you can avoid it, don't come here and don't spend your money, most of these doctors are incompetent to say the least. Do not come here if you can avoid it, either the doctors are understaffed or clearly do not like their job. Either way, don't take it out on a concerned patient, thank you. read more

This should B *** ZERO stars *** The wait is incredibly LONG... more interested in payment before treatment. The care is SUB par they didn't triage until almost 2 hrs even with active bleeding head injury ... our incident was workman's comp related ... the billing office gave us the run around indicating WC didn't pay then sent us a bill refusing further treatment us and family and threaten to send to collections .... IPAID ... 6 months later this is is still not resolved and im out of pocket and outraged read more

I have been waiting for 3 hours so long my waiting room light has gone off I'm literally going to choose the er with the 300$ co pay next time They haven't came back to check on me they have ignored my request for a time approx read more

I went to this facility couple months ago and waited for at least 4 hours. Doctor was so bad. He gave me medicine didn't work and cough got worse. Came back to this same place 3 days later, PA prescribed stronger medicine and it gone away in 2 days. Then I received a letter from facility director apologizing for experiencing such a long wait and unusual in their practice. Well, here I am again after I can't schedule appointment with my primary care physician. Sitting in patient room for 2 hours waiting no sign read more

was not feeling well left work early arrived at 3:15 PM now still 6:20 still no doctor been waiting in the room for a doctor. This is horrible while the waiting room is full of patient. I should have went to the ER for faster service. Whats the point of going to an urgent care there no urgency. Horrible service.... full day was I could have just stayed at work smh read more

If you are sick and need help. I would skip this place and go to the hospital down the street. Worst customer service ever. If you don't like were you work then you need to switch your job. This place always has something and there's never a smooth process. my primary care doctor is supposed to be here, but I think I only met them once. The fees are different, so watch your bill. Even though they charge you up front expect more bills to pop up. Parking is the worst. Only 20 cars including doctors can park at this location. This review is short but your wait at this location will be even longer. Your best bet is to avoid this location at all cost. read more

See all

Overall I'd give them a negative review, based on procedures not staff. I got there at around 6:30pm- the check in staff we're great, no issues with them at all. I was called back to an exam room at 7:30 they closed the curtain and left me there for 1.5 hours. I finally had to use the restroom, so I opened the curtain and inquired. The entire time I was behind the curtain, I could hear them bringing patients back to exam rooms, but I never heard any patients leaving. There must be a labyrinth of secret exam rooms scattered throughout this facility (think Harry Potter), where they keep people waiting for hours and hours and hours. I waited another .5 hour after using the restroom and I finally asked how much longer. I was told there was one patient in front of me but they couldn't tell me how much longer, I said I would be willing to wait another 15 or 20 minutes and the nurse explained that it would take longer than 15 or 20 minutes. I couldn't wait any longer than that and walked out; I was never even seen - I wasted three hours of my life. A couple of suggestions if you're reading this Patient First on Garrisonville Rd, Stafford. 1. Change your name, you clearly do not put patients first. 2. Add a wait time to your website so that non-emergency patients can determine whether they have the time to wait. As a side note, the text with a number that shows your place in line is useless once you're in an exam room where I suspect the patient tends to spend most of their time. 3. Manage your patients' expectations. If you have no intentions of doing one or two above, the least you can do is pop your head in every 40 minutes to let the patient know that you haven't forgotten about them, they are still in the queue, but you're just [insert placating excuse here]. If I had known I was going to have to wait three hours, I never would've stayed. I will avoid this place at all costs from now on. If you decide to risk it, may the odds be ever in your favor. read more

My wife recently had a bout of severe wrist pain. Her previous treatment for this was a short term steroid prescription and it worked wonders. Well the most recent episode happened over the New Year's weekend so her regular doctor was not available. She went to Patient First. After waiting 3 1/2 hours she finally saw a doctor. My wife is a very informed consumer of her health care and suggested the steroid script. The doctor refused saying that medication was "over prescribed." Well is certainly wasn't over used by my wife, who only was prescribed it once before. So she was sent home with a useless wrist brace. The refusal of Patient First to listen to and treat my wife resulted in her being in pain for days and she was unable to participate in cooking and other New Year's activities. Maybe Patient First should be named Patient Last. read more

Don't come here if you value your time as they do not. Waited for three and half hours with my son. Half in the waiting area and half in a room. Was only seen by a physician assistant. Left us in the waiting room with a positive Covid test for an hour and a half just to tell us he was positive, keep doing what you're doing and we were dismissed. Could have taken the five minutes they spent talking to us when they got the result hours earlier. This place is a joke. This is the second time they made us wait ridiculously long and I will not be back. read more

Patient First has cameras in the bathrooms aimed at the toilet. The intake staff is extremely rude and yells patient name, DOB and reason for visit in front of entire lobby = PII and HIPAA violations galore. read more

Patient First Primary & Urgent Care - Stafford - Camera in the bathroom top left corner and it faces the toilet. This is a serious violation - Urgent Care Near Me - Stafford, Virginia

Avoid at all costs. It's been three hours and they are forcing me to wait to see a doctor when the receptionist said I wouldn't need to see one for my covid test. I can't imagine coming here when I'm having symptoms. Imagine waiting for 3+ hours when you have a fever? No thanks. read more

The wait was far too long in the patient room. Doctor was very rude. The rest of the staff was fine. I will not go back again.

Went the other day. Haven't been since last year. Only to be told that I had a balance. Mind you I've been going here since 2015 and no one told me at all. So thank you Alexis, sweet blonde girl. Her and the young lady who did my vitals were super sweet. My Dr was also nice. The other Dr and I'm having a hard time recalling her name I've had bad issues with her before. But the other day I acted like I never seen her before. So I had let someone know the toilet in the woman's room in back wasn't flushing sounded empty and only a trickle of water came out the sink. She replied oh try now we didn't flip the switch m. So I go back in and she disappeared. See another lady and said she exscuss me ma'am. Repeatedly 2 more times until I just ummm hello. She cringed like oh she talking to me. I proceed to tell her the issue and she makes a face alone with a noise and says don't talk to me, talk to that person walking over there. Ohhh ok so you're too good to speak. , cool. Disgrace of a Dr read more

While I have received very good care in the past I would like to send a special shout out to Cynthia who helped me by going above and beyond with an insurance issue. She is pleasant and efficient and is an asset to the office! read more

Brought daughter here so the could read the TB test which should only take 5 minutes. She's been in there for ONE HOUR you've got to be kidding me. This is crazy read more

Good NP's and doctors, but I waited 4 1/2 hrs, to see the NP. I recommend if you have to go here to wait in your car, and take a looooong nap cause you're going to wait for a long time. By the way this was on Sunday morning. read more

I called to speak to the nurse and was put on hold by Jasmine for over 30 min. I hung up and called back and this time I was out on hold for 45 min and go figure right after 8pm (closing time) I was hung up on. I will be reaching out to corporate about this. People's health is no joke. read more

Some of the nurses were nice which is why I gave one star.. SOME. 5 hours in the lobby waiting plus 2 hours in a room waiting some more. When asked about a wait time there was no honest answer. If you CAN avoid this place, DO. read more

If I was giving this facility a rating on the intake professionals the nurses for medical assistance it would be a much different score but instead I'm reading this on one particular person. THU HA T PHAN. First of all her bedside manner is extremely inadequate I've been in the healthcare industry for 16 years and her manner is one of the worst I've seen. They kept me waiting for two hours and 45 minutes in the room I checked in at seven I checked out at 9:45 she spent a few minutes with me explain why she could not give me a medication because it might have an interaction with other medication's which my regular physician who is away for the holiday has given me all the time she didn't care I just had surgery that morning. Apparently she thinks she knows more about medication than my MDs. It was clear from the obvious from the very beginning from the second she walked in the room no smile nothing she did not want to work on me or help me she spent four minutes with me total after I sat there waiting for her for three hours how dare you. read more

One star because I can't leave 0 stars. Brought my son who hurt his foot and couldn't walk. As we approached the door they closed it and locked it and walked away. I knocked and she asked what I wanted. I said for my son to be seen. She said we are closed. Admittedly it was 7:55, 5 minutes before closing. I stayed it was 7:55 and she said not by their clock which was in the background and displayed 7:56. The she walked away. Compassion out the door!! read more

Poor customer service. They decline to see me today for a condition they've treated several times I read more

It should be named Patient Waits not Patient First. Absolutely the worst urgent care business model i have ever experienced. Very efficient at getting you through the check in process but very inefficient at tracking patients waiting to see medical professionals. Dont be fooled by the well kept building. read more

Came here for a broken ankle. I've been here for 3 hours and haven't seen a doctor. Absolutely unbelievable.

Visiting out of town and had a fall. The care was subpar sat there for about 3 hours in pain. The PA finally came in and went on the computer to ask me about my medication but it was another patients chart. Was never asked about meds until she made that error. So finally after sitting there in pain I went to get my X-rays the tech that did X-rays was very nice. So I go back to room the PA asked do I think its my heart or chest pain from fall. Ok that's what I'am here for I had to ask for a EKG was told by PA as to deter me if there is a problem with your heart we will send you to ER in ambulance. I said okay I'am fine with that. So I was walking and fell on bricks in street again in severe pain. So I feel on both knees and have had knee surgery on both knees why would you order only 1 knee X-ray. So after sitting there I finally left with a muscle relaxer not knowing what chest and knee X-ray showed. Was told radiologist would read X-ray tomorrow still haven't seen result. If I would have know no one could read X-ray would have went to ER. read more

Over 7 hours and gave up. I need rest. They are taking people who are just here for a Covid test ahead of people who are actually sick. Pain when breathing and glands swollen. I guess the government payouts for Covid test are more important than patients. "Patient First"? This is how they treat disabled veterans. read more

I had a swollen ear and strep, they decided to wash my ear and it ended up bursting my eardrum because i felt a intense pain and they said nothing was wrong, and one of the nurse said there was a red line but the doctor said it was nothing. Don't recommend. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I'm here for a pre employment drug screening. I've been waiting for over 25 mins and I've now informed 2 employees that I really needed to use the bathroom. The lady upfront, I believe name is Michelle, looked at me like she could care less. The second lady that registered me in the system stated I'm the only patient here for a drug screening but I'd have to wait. Wait to basically urinate on myself? As a first time patient to this place, I will not be returning. read more

It's just the waiting is too long ,but the staff is great and the doctor too overall I got to say I had a great experience .

I checked in at 6:15 pm and it is now 10:50 pm and I still have not seen a doctor. Another bad review. I should have went to the ER. It would have been faster. read more

Work experience of a wait in my life. I came at 11:30am and it's going on 4pm. Worst clinic I have ever been to. Total waste of space. Would highly recommend not coming here for anything read more

DO NOT go there unless you want to wait for 3+ hours. Sometimes it's not even crowded and it still takes a long time. I was seen one day and was given an antibiotic then asked to come back if worsens, came back next day for ointment, both days waited over 3 hours. The doctors never seem sure of diagnosis and try and get you to come back. read more

They have the worst service ever. My husband went there tonight at 6:30 signed in took his co-payment and everything waited in the waiting room until around 9:00 they put him in the room and then at 10:30 they come in his room and tell him that they cannot see him because they are closed. Literally what kind of s*** is that you've been waiting for all that damn long time and you come in his room and tell him that you cannot see him because you guys are closed what kind of s*** is that. Literally he's in pain and need to be seen by a doctor and you going to come in the room and tell him that you cannot see him because you guys are closed that is the worst service I have ever heard. Just know you have definitely lost my family service. read more

I appreciate all that Patient First has to offer their patients, but today I came in because of dizziness and feeling lightheaded (not the same thing, despite what the snippy MA named Sarah told me while I was getting registered). I was not able to be seen because I waited for almost an hour because I had to leave so my husband could go back to work. This place literally has so much potential to be amazing because of all of the services they offer, but thanks to the staff treating me like a number instead of a person, I won't suggest this place to anyone. No one who works here looks happy and I definitely don't feel cared about. I hope management can fix the problems so Stafford can have a quality place to go to when they're not feeling well. read more
