Physicians Immediate Care

I went to Physicians Immediate Care (after checking on my insurance provider's website that they…read moreare in network) to get tested for covid and flu. The front desk intake process was awful; the receptionist was so cold, and they make you do the check in with an ipad while you're sitting there coughing. The nurse was nicer. She suggested that since I reported sore throat I should also be checked for strep; I agreed. I didn't ask how much this would be; but since I had insurance I assumed I'd pay some money as I haven't met my deductible. A young doctor read my tests results and I was out quickly. In and out less than 1 hour total. But after insurance paid, the patient's responsibility is close to $300. Lesson learned, ask costs up front, I guess? I feel terrible saying this but if you're in a similar position, save yourself some money and don't get tested, or look elsewhere for more affordable testing.

Then proceed to send me to the hospital because my "virals were concerning"...after a visit to the ER where that doctor said physicians immediate care wasted my time and money, I still left the ER with a lower bill than I got there.... $700+ for both of them to say I have a bad cold or some virus that will clear up with over the counter medicine. Also being a new patient and getting seen is $400 alone.. before anything is done and if you go after 5pm it's +$40

I have mixed feelings about this urgent care. This urgent care came highly recommended to me from a…read moretrusted friend, and I sought it out while having some strep-like symptoms. The biggest pro is that everyone is very personable, and the MA & doctor both had excellent bedside manner. It was genuinely a good experience while I was being looked at. The biggest con is the wait time. I initially walked in around 9:30am, hoping to be looked at 10-10:30am and make a work meeting by 11. However, I waited until nearly 10:30am (an hour later) and ended up leaving because I had to go. I returned with a booked appointment for 12:30pm, and I wasn't looked at until almost 1:45pm. Numerous people that arrived after me were taking in first, and I'm not sure why -- maybe it was a triaging thing. This is a great place to get your immediate/urgent care done, but note that it's not really immediate. If you can find a way to kill the time, you won't be disappointed. However, if you plan to be in and out, you may need to consider another location.

It turned out it was the flu, but when you have a 100 degree temperature and you are 77 years old and your chest tightens up and it's hard to breathe, and impossible to talk without wheezing, it is scary. He patiently listened to all of my concerns and addressed them, coming up with solutions that have already started working. I can't thank him enough! You will quickly realize how much he cares and how much he knows.

Don't go here for TITERS!!…read more The day of my visit all went well with my blood being draw for my titers... but that was the ONLY positive experience I had with this location. I've been to another location on Clybourn and they were much more professional! The front desk girl at this Bucktown location had a terrible attitude even though I was just calling to ask questions about my titer results. So here's what went down. I paid FULL Price to have ALL MY TITERS checked and they even drew an extra tube of blood to "make sure" it would be enough. Yet the lab had some kind of "processing issue" with the varicella titer. They NEVER called to tell me that. It wasn't until I called to request my results 2.5 weeks later and I ASKED if I had a suffice sample for all my titers to be checked. The person I spoke with told me to come back in for free to redraw blood since it was THEIR MISTAKE. When I called again prior to walking in I mention this, and the RUDE front desk girl says "i dont know what to tell you, we will have to charge you again"... I asked to speak with the manager, she said she'd leave my number and I'd receive a call back and I NEVER did. I have never written an angry review but this place had me livid. I HIGHLY SUGGEST using (Jason Health) a cheap out of pocket alternative where you can get doctors orders, if all you need is bloodwork done and go to Quest diagnostics. I did this and had my results back 24 hrs later!!

Some left because she never returned. The health issue we were being seen for was very simple, but the practitioner told us to go to our primary care doctor the next day.
