The nurses, nurse assistants and PT were all local and many had worked there many years. The morning hustle on the surgery days is incredible and everyone had prompt care. I also appreciated the follow-up the day after release. They even made sure my wife was comfortable.

A Physical Therapist came by first day and provided basic exercises and taught how to walk with walker. Nursing care was haphazard. Ringing the bell to get attention often resulted in 15+ minute delays (no fun when you need to use the bathroom and you are told you cannot go by yourself, but have to be attended by a hospital employee). IV fluid delivery malfunctioned, setting off alarm, and no one came to check on it.

Don't go to the AFC Urgent Care in Wendell, unless you are in need of actual medical assistance -…read morein that case I would advise you to go elsewhere. I would like to point out that they have no email listed on their contact page here: https://www.afcurgentcare.com/wendell/resources/contact-us/ , only a phone number. So anyways, I went to the AFC Urgent Care in Wendell after I received a cut to my nose in a bicycle accident, which was not life threatening. The front desk receptionist asked me for $100 up front to be seen, and I told them to bill me later - the bill ended up being $191 instead of $100! But let me tell you what happened during the actual visit with the nurse whose name is listed as "Bunn, E" on the bill. She briefly looked at my nose and manipulated me into going to the emergency room at the nearby hospital. Her reasoning was that "our x-ray machine is broken" or some hogwash like that, when all I really needed was for them to fix up the wound. She used some incredibly coercive tactics on me, such as saying I couldn't leave the urgent care without signing a waiver first (???), and then having another lady watch over me in an attempt to prevent me from leaving. She practically bossed me into taking an ambulance to the hospital instead of driving there (I was perfectly capable of driving back home instead of that hospital or the urgent care), and I only agreed to it because I had ambulance insurance that would cover the whole cost of transportation. And the EMTs were pretty unprofessional too, asking me to sign a waiver that stated "I wasn't being kidnapped." Oh, and then the hospital billed my medical insurance $10,000, leaving me with a $2,300 bill for a 2 hour stay, and listed as an "auto accident" even when I told them multiple times that it was just a low velocity bicycle accident? All of you guys can really do better, especially when I wasn't being rude to anybody. In the itemized hospital bill, they are asking for $5,300 for a CT Scan, $252 for a Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis Vaccination, and $1100 for an x-ray. On top of that the doctor at that hospital billed me seperately (???) for $202? Please, try to take the maximum amount of money you could possibly charge from somebody else, not me please. Maybe from somebody with lots of spare change, robbers. Back to the original issue - the urgent care representative told me "the office manager will call you later," even when I requested to communicate via email, not by phone. They do not give a single damn about their customers it seems. Go ahead, have a good laugh at my expense, and post some glowing reviews to balance out your review average. But I object to most of these absurd medical bills you gave me.

If you have a child experiencing appendicitis like symptoms, take them to the pediatric ER. My son was having pain in his right side and we went to AFC Urgent Care. We waited for 30 minutes and were seen by someone at AFC Urgent Care, not sure if she was a Dr or PA or nurse - she asked about symptoms. She barely pushed on his right side no gloves and announced that they were unable to go further as they didn't have a CT machine and she was required to refer us to the ER. After waiting at the ER for 4 hours, he had a CT scan and were referred to the pediatric ER. The bills of all these visits are piling up. I called AFC with this suggestion: Anyone at AFC could have explained at reception that they could not diagnose ANY appendicitis like symptoms and we could have saved $100 on our copay. They said a medical professional has to do that - so wanted everyone else to be aware of this highway robbery.

They explained everything perfectly, where I could easily understand. & finally, I did feel like a priority. They made sure all my questions were answered!

It's odd to review a hospital but we've been here several times just this year. The first time was…read morefor outpatient surgery, and everything was efficient and professional. The second time was for a CT scan for my wife, and that was relatively quick, even though it was a very long distance from the front entrance. I guess there is a side entrance for outpatient services but nobody mentioned that to us. The third time was an ER visit for my wife. Upon checking in, they got her vitals but then it was several hours before we were called back. The PA who saw us was very professional, but it was odd to have so many different nurses and techs provide services from IV, to x-ray, to labs. They were professional, but again I'm not a fan of so much waiting around. Also, the treatment area was not private at all, basically hospital beds and chairs separated by curtains. We could hear the details of the patients all around us and I suppose they could hear us. More privacy would be appreciated.
