Iris is very rude, hung up on me! She shouldn't be taking phone calls if she's going to be treating patients unprofessionally

If they run the test when they collect the sample, the test results can be received in 15 mins. This urgent care however unfortunately will not have rapid screen Covid test results ready for 24 hours.

I joined specifically because of the advertised assistance with the Prior Authorization (PA) process, but a total lack of coordination between departments has resulted in a four-month delay. I have been attempting to navigate the PA process since March 2026, and despite qualifying and providing all required documentation, I have encountered the following issues: - Conflicting Information: Staff members repeatedly provide contradictory information regarding operating hours. I have been directed to call on weekdays only to be told the department only works weekends, and vice-versa. - Lack of Documentation: Despite multiple assurances that my records were received, staff recently claimed there is no record of my previous calls or documentation. - Misleading Claims: Staff confirmed a new PA was submitted in June 2026, yet my insurance provider maintains no request has been received since a denial in April 2026. That April denial was reportedly due to the office's failure to include the required documentation. - Poor Communication: My attempts to follow up are frequently met with dismissive attitudes from staff, even though I am strictly following the instructions provided to me. The administrative failures of this program have made it impossible to access the services I qualify for. I would caution others to be prepared for significant delays and a lack of accountability regarding insurance authorizations.

I had to pop in for a pretty typical urgent care need this week. They have a sign on the outside of the door letting you know to call in first, because I believe the waiting room is closed down for now as a covid precaution. The MA led me back to a room to fill out my paperwork. Ive been to clinics that use paper or apps, and I have to say I prefer the apps and online functions for getting medical stuff filled out. Its also way more convenient for paying the bills later, so I was a little bummed it was paper because my handwriting sucks but that is no big deal. Most places haven't upgraded that. I had to do some simple testing. Quick and easy. The MA was super nice and easy to talk to, which is cool because I have major doctors anxiety and I was also having a bad day so that cheered me up a bit and eased my clinic anxieties. The actual doctor I met with was very nice and knowledgeable and explained everything pretty well, and seemed very genuinely helpful. I have no major complaints. This was a good place to go for urgent care and convenient. The reason for the 4 stars for me is my experience was good but not great, like some of the other urgent cares in town ive been to. The clinic was a ghost town (pretty sure I was the only patient) so I was hoping it would be a little quicker, but it was about average time wise. I also was disappointed the hours are 8am to 5pm. I wanted to try this spot months ago but the hours shortened right now so I have never been able to use them until this week due to that inconvenience.. Overall, I would recommend this spot for simple issues and friendly, helpful staff and would have no qualms about using them again. Good experience overall.

After the x-rays their Nurse Practitioner came in and told me the x-rays were negative. He asked if I lost consciousness. I said No but that I was disoriented right after the crash, but did not hit my head and it was now 48 hours after the crash and I had no symptoms of a head injury. He informed me Liam Neeson's wife died 3 days after hitting her head and that I needed to go to the Emergency Room and get a brain CT Scan in case I had a brain bleed, which I had no symptoms of. I asked if he could give me a shot for the non stop very serious pain and a prescription. He said no in case I had a brain bleed. I also had a cut on my cheekbone which I took off my glasses and showed him from a distance. He never examined me during the whole visit. He never got closer than arm's distance and he never even checked my facial cut for infection or to clean it. He literally did nothing about my serious injuries. I filed a grievance through Priority Urgent Care and followed that up within a day or two with another email and I also called multiple locations trying to speak to a manager. I've called over 5 times and left my name and number to have a manager call me back. It's 3 weeks later and they still have not contacted me about my grievance, or to follow up. I want to add that they did waive my copay 2 days later so I could go to their Panama location and the doctor there did an exam and gave me a pain shot and prescription for pain meds. He ordered an MRI, which apparently never got sent in or Stockdale Radiology never submitted it to my insurance. So I had to pay $349 out of pocket to get an MRI. Priority Urgent Care has failed in every aspect in my care as well as following up to address my grievance. If I could have given 0 stars or negative stars I would have done that. Absolutely the worst medical care or really lack of care and they truly don't seem to care in the least bit or they would have contacted me.

I went here for some chest issues I was having. Turned out to be bronchitis and not pneumonia, like…read moreI thought. The wait time was very long (almost 2 hours), however I won't knock them for it because there were quite a bit of people in the waiting room, only one doctor working, and that doctor apologized repeatedly for the wait. I understand when you're the only one running around trying to get to everyone. I'm a pretty patient person, no big deal. Doctor ordered 2 chest x-rays and he told me it was bronchitis (ew!). Set me up with a few meds and an inhaler and sent me on my way. Even though the wait time was a little bad, the service was very prompt as soon as I got assigned a room. I will still come back here since it's much better than Priority Urgent Care.

Despite confirming multiple times--both with the doctor and the receptionist--that our prescription needed to go to the Walgreens on Gosford because Costco was closed, it was still sent to the wrong location (CVS on Panama). Mistakes happen, but given how quiet the office was, this felt like a total lack of effort and care for the patient experience. We will be seeking care elsewhere moving forward.
