Okay. I've think I've waited long enough to approach this whole disaster with a cooler head. So here goes. As this review is reliant on both specific circumstance and context, I suggest reading my preceding, although heated, review.
I finally did get in contact with the Rockwall location about the mysterious bill a few days after receiving it, although still no answer at the corporate billing facility. The nurse/receptionist who answered the phone looked into my problem right away and assured me that something was wrong, I didn't owe them anymore funds. She promised to get in contact with the billing department herself to straighten this out. Still wary, I requested her to call me back with any information once the problem had been dealt with.
Thought I appreciate this one employee's great attempt in customer service, she didn't really call me back. I was only contacted a week or so later after someone at the Rockwall office discovered my original review on this site. Via voicemail, however, this same individual assured me that the problem had been discovered and the error was being dealt with, as several account had been affected company wide. Even though I was promised a zeroed out balance in the mail, I have not received such a document. To be fair, I have not received any more bills or overdue notices, but one has to wonder if all damage of such an error - say, to my credit report - has been repaired.
Honestly I should have called them back to check on the status of the whole thing and a zeroed out balance in paper form for proof, but I'm still a little miffed on the whole subject.
My special circumstance aside though, here is what I envision any other patient/customer can expect from Rockwall Urgent Care:
The nurse staff is incredibly friendly and sympathetic, in face the most caring and kind doctor's staff I have ever come across. The whole establishment runs efficiently and so far this is the shortest wait I have ever had to see a doctor, paperwork included. The doctor, even though taking awhile to appear (which is something all doctors seem to do, so why count off?) was nice enough and did his job, but the lack of an established medical relationship with a recurring patient leaves something to be lacking in an experience someone like me finds rather intimate.
Under normal circumstances the fees and charges are straight upfront, and they accept an extremely large array of insurance policies. But, of course, this is a company chain, meaning centralized offices and billing departments, so prepare for any snags that come with that drawback.
Under current circumstances I will award Rockwall Urgent Care 3 stars, even though I'm feeling for of a 2.5 or 2.75. The only thing really holding them back from 4 or even 5 stars is 1.) Maybe just a little more effort in getting in contact with me to remedy an original lack of customer service with that billing error and 2.) Actually sending me the zeroed out bill as proof of everything being fixed.
Overall, if you're in need of quick non-emergency care or your current doctor's office has gotten on your last nerve, I'd say give this place a try. The friendliness of the staff alone is well worth it, and it's a hell of a lot less red tape than the emergency room, even with my special circumstance. read more
