This weekend I was very grateful to the staff at the Urgent Care facility in Elverson. I needed to have a procedure done, as an infection was not responding to the prescribed antibiotics was spreading quickly Since I was going to a Reading Hospital affiliated doctor, my first thought was to call their urgent care facilities. At least 2 of them wouldn't do the procedure that had been recommended by my doctor, saying that I needed to go to the Emergency Room. (one first said that someone would look at it, but when I said that I needed to know if they did the procedure, she seemed mildly annoyed to inquire with the doctor further. I saw no point in going to BOTH the urgent care AND the ER, paying for both and waiting for how long????)
The two reviewers that rated this place so poorly wrote how nice the staff was (???) The women who were working there were very compassionate. They were willing to do a procedure that no one else seemed to be willing to do. My friend's husband is a visiting nurse and says that his agency recommends this place highly. As far as time, yes, I wish all of these places were a bit faster, but compare this to an ER, where there is often a ton of staff and yet I have waited many times 5-8 hours just for a small issue, I will go back here in a heartbeat. read more
