Was a walk in and was great. Staff amazing and the Dr's great. Much faster than ER, got a paper to go get an x-ray. Just had to call in the morning to get results. read more

Went in for my DOT medical without an appointment and it was easy. The receptionist was really nice. And Patty was super helpful. Thank you staff for being great. read more

I made an appointment in 2021 to get a cyst looked at. the doctor was immediately very rude to me and didn't even examine me, never touched me. just sat in her chair and stared at me. she dismissed me and when I went to a follow up doctor elsewhere in 2024 they found the cyst had grown to the size of a golf ball and have had to deal with this as a much bigger issue because the doctor didn't do her job. I've been in so much pain and discomfort and it's been a frustrating experience in all. read more

I needed care and called hours ahead to find out what time they stopped taking walk ins, the employees was very short and rude saying 4, I told her would it be ok since I would be off by 3:30 and my not make it sooner than 3:50 she did not respond. Once I was off from work I rushed there and got 5 till 4 and the employees with an annoyed look said "we stop at 4" I said it's 5 till and she responded depends on the provider you can go elsewhere . This facility should not be named patients first or they should have more empathetic employees with vocation read more

Some of the office ladies were so rude and had an attitude. I wish there were other worker compensation options in our area. I dread going in that office. read more

The most ignorant, rude, and unprofessional medical group I made the mistake of calling, The receptionist over spoke me, would not listen to what I was asking, then hung up on me because I told her she was being rude.. When I called back she would put me on hold. Someone in management there needs to pay attention to who they hire, and have interacting with potential patients who need medical assistance, and is not an emergency. I would give a 0 (zero) but then I could not leave a comment.. if you don't like your job, then find another. read more

This place only cares about all the physical appointments that come in. I made an appointment @230 & @ 4 still no one by this time I was lived Angry. the nurses are always rude af. Never going back. I don't know how they get away with treating people like that. read more

The front desk staff and intake were borderline rude - short in responses and tone. My daughter wanted me to be present in the room and was refused due to her being over 18. No consideration for patient wishes. read more

Was a walk-in at about 12:10 They asked why, I said flu symptoms and was given paperwork. Did not wait an unreasonable time and was taken to a chair to have blood pressure taken. I sat there for 20 minutes, with people walking back and forth in front of me. The girl that took it never said anything, seemed to have a hard time getting a reading but, oh well. I was taken to an exam room, nose swabbed and left for at least another 20-25 minutes. Tech (?) came in, stuck another swab up my nose and started to leave, I said it was kinda weird that no one had taken my temperature. He paled, scooted out and got a thermometer. He then rushed out, got 3 ice packs, some Tylenol and water. He said he thought the Dr had already been in. I asked what the temp was and he said 100+. He laid me down and checked in a few times. I was like that for more than 30 minutes. Dr came in, listened to my chest, said he did not think it was a flu, did not know what it was and that second swab would be ready the next day. He said he would order meds. (not sure how he knew what they were for) and left the room, I got notification that meds were ordered, and sat in the room another 30+ minutes until I opened the door asked if I could leave. Girl went away for a minute and came back and said yes. Dr never came back to explain the meds he ordered. I was there until 3:30. I called today to ask about swab results. After a 7-minute wait she came back and told me the provider was gone and they will call me tomorrow. Edit - I did just get a call from someone that told me what the meds do, not why the Dr ordered them. I had already looked them up, so no help there. And no results from the second swab. We'll see if I get a call tomorrow. read more

Went in for an infected right hand due to a feral cat bite. They were all very welcoming and professional. Office and exam rooms very clean and comfortable. Will be back read more

I've walked in several times without an appointment. They got me in and gave me good service. Everyone was friendly and answered my questions. read more

All staff were very unprofessional during this visit, the doctor who saw my dad here misdiagnosed him when it turned out to be a simple condition he was experiencing, making us cancel spending Christmas Day with family. Waited two hours to be seen for two minutes just to leave with the wrong conclusion and treatment. Doctor explicitly said she knew what she was doing when asked if she was sure this was the issue. Fountain View Urgent Care properly assessed my dad and gave him the correct diagnosis and medication which healed him much more efficiently than the last medication received by this care center. read more

The doctors were great but all the front staff was rude won't make eye contact and unkind

I should have read the reviews before I went here. They left me in the waiting room for almost 3 hours, only to tell me they were closing and to come back Monday. Unprofessional and rude! read more

If I could give them zero stars, I would. Unbelievably disrespectful, borderline cruel, refuse to refill valid prescriptions for well-established diagnosed conditions and, if you ask too many questions, will declare you "disrespectful" and escort you out. Absolute trash. Get medical assistance from any other provider. read more

DO NOT EVER GO TO THIS PLACE!! The only reason I gave it one star is because you can't give negative stars. The staff were incredibly rude, demeaning, and down right obnoxious to customers. When one goes to a medical center because they are in poor health, you expect compassion, concern, and empathy. Sadly, with a name like Patient's First, this was NOT the case. The medical staff and receptionists repeatedly made snappish and uncaring comments several times, even going so far as to say that I was wasting their time with questions about my current health concerns and status. I was literally and figuratively verbally abused when I was in extreme pain. And, after all of this, my primary physician has repeatedly asked for copies of medical tests and procedures, and they still have not sent them. In my opinion, this is medical negligence. So, in short, go to another urgent care, these people obviously DON'T put Patients First read more

The absolute worst health care ever! This is the only provider approved by my employer for workers comp. The Nurse practitioner there Pettyjohn saw me and she is completely incompetent and rude. First, she doesn't have any bed side manner. On my first visit she hung out at the door, talking about my medical history without shutting the door?! Doesn't introduce herself, and starts spewing statements with no real explanation to how or why it may be true. Who does that? She made a claim about my X-rays saying I had a congenital abnormality in my spine. When I followed up on my second visit, she didn't know what I was talking about and said it might be spina bifida. I've never had spina bifida as a kid and that's a bold claim to diagnose someone who you've seen twice and no information about my past medical history. Called her out about it and she got upset with me. Asked if I wanted a different provider, I saw yes. Nurse Pettyjohn needs to stop practicing medicine, not fit for anyone. read more

Apparently if they recognize you after you've left a negative review they'll let you sit in the waiting room for an hour (just to prove a point), eventually call your name as if it's your turn to see a doctor, hand you a printed out copy of your honest review, and ask you to leave because "you're not welcome here". How about instead of turning away people who have given you honest feedback in the past --YOU TAKE THE FEEDBACK? A review -- good or bad -- gives YOU the opportunity to know what to keep doing and what to work on. You should appreciate BOTH. Especially when you're being give an OPPORTUNITY to turn an old negative review into a positive review (yes--some people give businesses a second chance). But hey, if you'd rather lose business, that's your choice. Not a good reputation to have in a small town. Incidents like these are why businesses get shut down. You will not be getting another chance and I will be sharing this with all of my friends and family. read more

We brought our daughter here a while ago and was very appreciative of how the nurse was gentle treating her. I was very thankful for their service then, but as of now it is a completely different experience. I think people should only come here for Urgent Care needs. DO NOT come here for a follow up appt. I showed up 15min early for a follow up and when they finally put me in a room, they let me sit there for over an hour. When I asked if they forgot I was there, an assistant replied, "no, she's running a little behind. There's one more patient before you." Maybe there's a reason they call us "patient". Me and the assistant get into an immature door opening/closing contest because I want them to know I'm in there and she doesn't want to be uncomfortable. To put the icing on the cake, she walks by and calls me some name in Spanish. Apparently, this is junior high. Real professional. Apart from the waiting and childish assistant, there was also the issue with inconsistent opinions. My first visit, the injury was deemed "superficial". My second visit, Catherine calls it "soft-tissue" damage. So which is it? Mind you, it's Catherine on both visits. Then, I have to fill out the FMLA paperwork FOR them and then they have the nerve to charge me $30. Catherine doesn't want to take the notes or another 5-10minutes to fill it out even though she's made me wait an hour.... You have to fill it out anyways, so why put it off?? Health services today seem to completely ignore the human element of each encounter. I feel like another animal through the processing plant. No respect for a person's time. No respect or listening ear for a person's life situations. I think Merced has this problem in general. Patients are overbooked and offices are operated like mills. If I make an appointment with my primary care doctor, I'm not seen for another month even in the case/risk of serious infection. I have to come to Urgent care to be seen for follow-ups that still make me wait. What was the argument against single-payer healthcare again??? Oh yea! Waitlists.... well since I'm waiting anyways, might as well be single-payer. read more

I waited 4 hours to get seen. Yes I was a walkin, but 4 hours. This is ridiculous. The girls up front were extremely rude and they kept trying to blame me for not making an appointment. I get it. I walked in. but 4 hours. Then they said they tried to call me but I was in the bathroom, so I missed my slot and I was pushed to the very back of the line again. And again they were rude and blamed me for it. While I was waiting, I would hear how the girls answered the phone calls coming in. Again, very rude. Then they would hang up loudly, and then proceed to badmouth the person who called! that is shameful, disappointing and disgusting behavior. If you don't care about taking care of your fellow human being, then don't work in the healthcare industry. If you are such a evil, vitriolic witch, healthcare is not for you. you actually have to care about patients. It's in the word! read more

UPDATED 06/2019. BE AWARE! IF FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU HAVE TO GO BACK HERE (WORKERS COMP FOR EXAMPLE) THEY WILL MAKE YOU WAIT THEN CALL YOU BACK AND SHOW YOU YOUR REVIEW AND TURN YOU AWAY. Nothing urgent about this place. Waited in the front waiting room for over an hour when there was only myself and one other person waiting. Finally got called back and was told it would be about 15 minutes and ended up being almost an hour in the back room. I finally had enough and walked to the front to ask how much longer. The girl asked for me to go back to my room and she would check. About 10 minutes later she walked into my room saying I was next up. But the impression I got, was that they forgot about me. And of course, just then the doctor walked into the hallway carrying his lunch. Go figure. read more

I am new in town and needed immediate care. Despite the bad reviews, I decided to come because it is where my husband went before and it is what my friend recommended. I was not disappointed. I have been with Kaiser Permanente from Los Angeles and has always received prime health care service through them. I was impressed by how fast I was seen and attended to. The staff, although were very busy, were very friendly and accommodating. Dr. Paul Love was the physician assigned to me that day. He was very thorough and I was given treatment and medication prescriptions right away. I was even more surprised the lab results was available right away. Normally, from previous providers, I would suffer in pain for another day because of the wait time for lab results then that's the only time I get medications. I don't know where all these bad reviews are coming from but I guess my point of comparison is the wait time in Los Angeles and how "less" personal the doctors are in LA. I am sure this facility have more happy and satisfied customers than what is reflected here. It is disappointing to see misuse of social media reviewing sometimes. Especially the ones coming from those who are obviously clouded by their emotions over one particular incident about one particular staff. read more

Went today because I had a side ache on the right side. Had this ache since Wednesday and didn't want to be ill for the weekend. Decided to go to Patients First Urgent Care. Filled out papers and was seen after about forty minutes. Dr Catherine is the best. She took time to listen to me and asked questions as to my symptoms. She had me take X-rays and found my problem, even showing me the X-rays. The X-ray tech also was there and explained my situation too. Thank you to the staff and especially Dr. Catherine. read more

If you value your life and your loved ones. The dr was rude kept rolling his eyes. Prescribed a medication and gave no info on it. Had prescription filled asked the pharmacist what exactly it was for and she told me the wrong thing. Took one pill and vomited severely for 4 hours and had to go the ER. They should be investigated and closed down. They dont deserve the one star rating, note: you have to pick a star to post. read more

I walked in at 8am and was not seen until 10am. Was there for workers comp. I went in and explained what was wrong and the nurse practitioner just gave me pretty much over the counter pills and a sling. Then said go to physical therapy. Went back a few days later for pain worsening and requested to a specialist and was rejected. At this point I've lost almost all my range of motion. So pretty much my option was to sit in pain until they decide that I can get an mri and go see a specialist. Even with worsening pain they won't admit they are wrong saying I just have tendinitis. Just like a year ago they said that my side was just bruised after an X-ray, then in my 12 week check up they tell me I did actually have a broken ribs. If they are not going to give standard care or care about their patients that are in pain they should just close their doors. read more

This place is so incredibly bad, but it's the only place available outside of the emergency room. Why do I wait 45 minutes for them to manually type up my kid's patient sheet? We do have computers this century. The staff is rude at best most days, the other days they are argumentative and difficult. Saying this place is slow is an understatement. I wish my doctor was available today. Next time I'll enroll in college and get my m rival degree. It's about the same amount of time. Oh and I'm writing this while waiting in the waiting room. I'm sure the people around me have been here since the civil war... read more

THIS PLACE IS ASS. the nurses always have an attitude, they're slow, and unorganized. Worst urgent care I've ever been to but unfortunately the closest. I'm sitting here with my finger bleeding/ in need of stitches and they're mad my sister had my permission to fill out my paperwork as I'm trying to stop the bleeding on my writing hand! Lmao they are so inconsiderate and incompetent. You'll spend more time sitting in the waiting room you might as well just drive to the next closest urgent care. read more

The "doctor" (I wish I knew the name was but will update when I find out ) my boyfriend had today didn't give a diagnosis for what he had so the 2 hour wait was a waste of time all the doctor prescribed was antibiotics and told him "well you didn't need to come it would have went away anyway" then continued to prescribe him antibiotics which would lessen what he didn't tell him he had cause he didn't even know so we don't know what the antibiotics are even getting rid of so he's taking medication for god knows what and said whatever he has will go away in 2-4 days. Terrible experience nonetheless. UPDATE: Doctors name that he saw here is Kheng Xion and it comes to be that he needs surgery because of the wait of just giving him a ZPack. Don't recommend this place at all. read more

They should change their name to Patients LAST Medical Center as they have no care for anyone. Their BOSS Gheri who allegedly embezzles from the company. She dictates prices for medication and I called 5 other urgent cares and got quoted $50-$60 for the same exact treatment when cash pay. When I got the quote from Gheri approved was $400+ if paying with a card and if I pay cash only $350 after already paying $135 to be seen since they do not take most insurances. Hopefully the owner looks at the books on how much steeling is going on there. read more

THIS PLACE MUST SHUT DOWN, INSurance Scam , over billing , on one occasion and another occasion they refuse to see my son when he is in a lot of pain . They discriminate 100%. They choose who they want to treat when the waiting room is full . I encourage everybody to call the medical board of California or push the link below http://www.mbc.ca.gov/Consumers/Complaints/ read more

Thanks again for top notch health care.Dr.Melinda and the whole staff were terrific taking care of me.

I wish I could give a zero star rating for this place. The girl at the front desk was rude af. I came here since the other clinic had 14 people ahead of me and this one had no one... now I know why. The girl who took my blood pressure and stuff was really nice. She asked me to wait in a room for the Dr. who came in about 25 min later. When I told her, the Dr. that I was on Truvada, she assumed I was HIV positive. I had to let her know that Truvada is preventative, that it's like gay birth control. It prevents you from contracting the virus in case you happen to be exposed to it. Then she asked me if I used to have HIV... wtf - I didn't know there was a cure. I was so frustrated and angry, I almost walked out. I'm going to drop off some pamphlets on Truvada so the medical "professionals" can brush up on this decade's medical discoveries. read more

They overcharge for deductibles. I came in with a broken leg after a car accident and they wanted to charge me $50 for a deductible, but I didn't have the money to cover it so I just left. Most other clinics and urgent care centers I have been to only charge $15. read more

Today I had a number of pre-employment tests (TB, lifting weight, physical exam, drug screen, hearing test) to complete at Patients First: Based on previous experiences I was dreading today. I must say I was delighted! The staff was competent, professional, polite, fast, and as a walk-in it only took 45 minutes from start to finish. Such a marked improvement from previous visits. Kudos! Thank you Patients First staff members for an excellent visit. read more

BE AWARE. I posted this review and have received a certified letter stating they will no longer provide service to me. If the clerks do not know a drug or have questions, they could have gone to a doctor or nurse instead of making fools of themselves. If there are insurance questions, call the insurance, don't state you are comfortable charging a patient this amount, or don't get upset when the patient goes else where. So post your comment, but if unfavorable be aware that the customer representative reading and responding will possibly deny you care. Luckily I have great insurance, and had moved on anyway... but this could be devastating to others. BEWARE... a simple apology would have been nice. But, in fairness, this is second complaint in 6 years.. maybe you get one strike.. read more

I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!!! I saw the Dr on Tuesday.... "your ankle looks broke, but I can't tell. I will send to radiologist, call in two days for your results." So, I call on Thursday... "Radiologist only picks up/drops off on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Call tomorrow." NOW they won't give me results over the phone. Also, Dr tells me to schedule a follow up in five days.... He only works on Tuesdays and Thursdays. THEY ARE STUPID!!! They give me a shot for the pain, which I didn't need, wrap my foot in a temporary cast... right foot.... and wheel to my car. Wish NO STARS were available!!! read more

As a walk-in with a cold/flu at most places, you may expect an hour or so wait(my personal experience), as they do have appointments they need to honor as well. Patients First is a joke though. I've been here for 3 hours now and am STILL waiting for a doctor. They are super slow here and over book their appointments so much that after taking my vitals i was told to go back to the lobby and wait because all the rooms were full! I HIGHLY recommend going somewhere else! You'll save yourself a lot of time! read more
