Came in for an appointment and was waiting quite a long time (which I understand, but they didn’t seem to be super busy.) Lady at the front desk told me my insurance wasn’t working and I’m not sure why since it’s worked in the past and is active. When I asked her to explain it, she sounded condescending and told me my only choice was to pay $300. All I needed was a Covid test so I walked out. I’ve been here in the past and have had no issues but I would recommend going elsewhere in the future.

Every single time I’ve come here I’ve had a bad experience. There have been multiple times where I’ve waited for almost an hour even though I had pre-booked my appointment for a specific time. Just this past time I had pain in my foot only for the nurse practitioner (Robyn Powers) to tell me to just ice it. Not once did she take a look at my foot or asses it. I’ve never felt more dismissed at this clinic than any other clinic and reviewing the other comments that people have left it seems like this is a reoccurring problem at this clinic. I would not recommend coming here unless you want to waste your time.

Broke a bone. Doc was so special. I love her. Visit was lively and fun. Besides the very informative discussion about my bone break and the follow-up care recommendation, we also talked about raising chickens, a subject we both enjoyed. Frankly, it took my mind off my pain and on to normal interests. I walked out on crutches with a smile on my face. Thank you to the whole bunch!

It is currently 7:40pm on Thursday, September 19, 2024. The young man on the phone just told me they arent accepting walk-ins at this time as my wife and kid were on their way in. Perhaps they can update their hours to reflect the actual times they are open. Or discipline their employees who lie because they dont want to work.

I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and was able to make an appointment later that day. The staff were warm and friendly. I waited in the lobby for about 30 minutes after my appointment time, but likely because this place is one of the only urgent cares open after 4pm on a Saturday in Columbia!

Went in with my 12 year old granddaughter, 30 minutes before closing. Everyone was exceptionally nice and professional. Never did they make us feel rushed or uncomfortable. Even with the stalling computer system, everyone kept their composure. Quality care given and we went home well informed and medical issue handled accordingly. I will definitely use their services again.

I RECOMMEND GOING HERE AND ONLY GOING HERE!!! This place FAR EXCEEDED any expectations I had for an urgent care. Awesome and INCREDIBLY nice staff. The people there seemed to genuinely CARE about identifying and solving my problem rather than just doing the bare minimum for my money, as many other medical centers tend to do. Prices were insanely reasonable, they seem to accept a great load of insurances, and as a cherry on top, they are REALLY UPFRONT ABOUT COSTS. Normally medical centers dont give you any pricing information until AFTER the work is done, then hand you a MASSIVE bill for the bare minimum. This place did not. The receptionist ran my insurance through while I was sitting in the waiting room before my appointment (without me having asked him to) then let me know while I was waiting the EXACT PERCENTAGE MY INSURANCE WILL COVER versus what I will have to pay, then gave me an estimate of the maximum amount he expected I might have to cover (again, WITHOUT ME EVEN HAVING ASKED). His predicted maximum was already cheaper than I expected, but my out of pocket cost wound up being almost HALF of that prediction. I will only be going to this urgent care for as long as I live in Columbia. They treated my problem very well and my wallet hardly has a dent.

All three staff that I interacted with were wonderful. The receptionist offered to get me a glass of water when I was coughing, the nurse assistant was friendly, made me relax and was so positive. The doctor didn’t rush, explained information and was most informative. Great experience!

First had to wait an hour in the waiting room even though I had an appointment, not a big deal. Then when I told them I was self pay, they quickly told me it would be 350 for the office visit alone. I asked why, since it clearly stated it was 250 on the website. They checked and confirmed that I was correct. But would not honor the price, saying the price had recently changed (4 months ago) and not updated on the website. So I didn’t argue as I was in excruciating pain. The doctor who saw me (Dr. Robyn Powers) was insanely rude. After reading other reviews I see now that everyone has complained about her and she still hasn’t been fired. I told her my symptoms, and she said I can’t do anything for you? You need to go to the ER? as if I was stupid for even coming. The appointment lasted about 2min. As I was leaving I just wanted to make sure I didn’t owe any additional money for the useless help that I received. Since there was nobody at the desk, I tried to get one of the nurses attention about 10 feet away. But she wouldn’t even come to the desk. She just kept trying to ignore me and talk to her coworker. Eventually she just waved me out the door with the most disrespectful hand gesture and smirk and said “go!”. I thought this has to be some kind of joke right? Worst place Iv ever been, totally incompetent and rude workers who don’t deserve to have a job in healthcare. Anyway I proceeded to go to boone hospital and required same day surgery. Every nurse and doctor I encountered were so nice and considerate it was amazing. Please for the love of everything good do not ever visit this nextcare urgent care. If they even decided to do their job and try to help you, I can’t imagine how bad the treatment would be with the level of incompetence in their employees it could be dangerous.

Long wait, about two hours on a Saturday afternoon, but they were able to help my 2 year old son get X-rays after a glass coffee table fell on his toe. You can make an appointment online ahead of coming in to help with the wait time.

Well the appointment was at 11 my coworker was at 10:45. As of 12:42 we are still waiting. Wouldn’t be too bad if we were not here for DOT drug screens. We need to urinate to the point of feeling sick with pain. When I spoke to the front desk she had to find us and then said ooooh!We are still waiting. I guess it’s due to being short staffed. But maybe don’t make, as one of your clients a major trucking company and set yourself up to do their DOT testing if you can’t get them back to relieve themselves in a timely manner. This is unhealthy and cruel.After finally calling us back it took an hour due the their inability to find the correct forms. They had to redo both of ours.All night and today my kidney hurts. I had to hold my urine for way too long.

It was unfortunate I had to visit an urgent care but overall it was a good experience. I had visited this one several years ago and felt they did an excellent job, so I decided to return to this specific location. Their customer service was great as was the medical care.

This place has gone down hill. I had an appointment at 1:15 didnt get taken back to be seen till 2:30. My nurse who was the only good part of my visit I could hear asking to take lunch and being told no which is wrong as medical professionals they should know how important eating is. And finally we get to the doctor, I have never had a worse doctor in my life. Its like she was obsessed with finding an STI no matter how much I told her it wasnt. Well surprise it wasnt an STI and I almost lost my relationship because this woman wouldnt listen and wasted money on a medice I didnt need. I will never come back to this trash hole of an urgent care.

I had nurse practitioner Robyn Powers. She was very rude and made me feel like I didn’t need to be there. I understand wanting patients in and out but I was in pain. She also yelled at me for forgetting my mask the second time she came him when I had asked for a Covid test, but then refused to give it to me cause I wasn’t sick enough.

Review №16

Knowing my son didnt have insurance, they took his pre-payment and saw him. He was told that payment would cover the visit. He was not made aware of any additional charges that may occur. He went in for a sore throat and fever. Apparently they then ran four different labs and neglected to tell him he would later be billed $600 just to find out if he had strep throat or not. If he would have been told that, he would have left and went elsewhere or refused the labs and went with the prescription and shot he was given to see if that worked first, SINCE they told him that was probably all he needed and labs were a precaution incase another antibiotic needed to be prescribed. SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THAT??? He has called FOUR times now to find out the results of those labs and has been on hold for over 40 minutes and cannot get through to get his results or a call back. So the lab wants him to pay $600 yet he still hasnt gotten the results??? I have tried to call about the bill, again automatically put on hold until I have to hang up to get back to work and STILL no results. Id highly recommend going elsewhere.

Woke up not feeling well. Made an appointment first thing in the morning for 1pm. Arrived 20 minutes early and waited over an hour to get called back. Initial nurse was awesome, friendly and seemed genuinely concerned. The nurse practitioner came into the room to tell me I tested positive for Covid. She didn’t have a mask on yet completely lost her cool when I coughed. Yelling how now the room would have to be shut down for two and a half hours because I sprayed COVID all over. She was very unprofessional and didn’t even tell me what I could take to feel better or when I should go back to work. I won’t be back to this clinic.

The nurse was very professional and kind she made me feel like I was in the right place. The doctor was nice and helpful he got it right on the first try . If I need help again without going to the ER this is the place and I loved the online check in and wait was short I was seen on time. Great place to get help if you dont feel well.

Staff stayed late (about 25 minutes after closing hours) to make sure our 6 year old was taken care of. The nurse practitioner, Cary, was very thorough. I’ve never been to an urgent care where I’ve been truly impressed until now! Thanks for all you do.

Walked in with a sore throat and fever and was able to be seen in less than 30mins. I was in and out within the hour.  I love that they have an app that shows your wait in real time. It shows how many are in front of you and allows you to schedule future apts. There was no paperwork hassle either, it was all on the app! Cary was such an attentive and friendly provider. Would definitely recommend!!

This was a horrible experience and I will never use the facility again in my lifetime. It was incredibly slow and resulted in a waste of my time. I will refuse service from the provider any time in the future. I sensed no real care about my health and well being by the nurse practioner, only a megalomania of control after seeing too many patients in a day.

Thought I had bug bites that kept leaking and bubbling up. Even though I kept the wounds clean. So I headed to urgent care. Mind you that it was very close to closing time. I was seen right away. Technician Krystal P brought me to the room I was to be seen in. But when the NP Robyn Powers seen me.  She stayed across the room and hardly looked at my wounds and was short with words with me. Then I was given my discharge papers and was told were I could pick up my medication from. told me goodnight and were the exit was.  I walked out and realized were they would send me medicine was closed for the night and knocked on the door because they locked the doors behind me. The front receptionist opened the door and I informed her that I needed the medication to be sent elsewhere and was polite about it. She went to talk to the either Robyn Powers or Krystal P that had seen me. And I heard a sigh very loudly and heard “No, I’ve already logged out and not going to sign back in. He can wait till the morning to get his medication.” I drove across town to get medical help and felt unwanted in a medical building trying to be treated. I don’t recommend this place.

Everyone I interacted with was so kind, and very professional. I have not been taking care of my chronic asthma, and everyone jumped to help me get relief.They also encouraged me to go see a PCP so it wont flare up like this again. That was so nice, and I felt very taken care of.

Review №35

I visited this health care clinic yesterday.. I voiced my concerns about pain from front to back, lower left part of side, below rib cage area around pelvic area and tick bites from a cleaning job. No tests were administered, nothing at all.. The pain became unbearable in which I decided to visit the MU E.R., to get an observation, and second opinion, only to discover that I have a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst on my left ovary. 🤷‍♀️Yesterday was my first and last time that I will go to this clinic for any medical needs.Might I suggest that a physician leaning on the wall inside the room, asking questions, is not professional by no means, nor can one diagnose a condition by mere questions. Please train your physician to do better as some incidents are life threatening pertaining to medical symptoms. For this reason, I do not recommend this Health Care Clinic!

Received great care and treatment but was told to watch out for developing symptoms and go straight to ER if that happened. Those aftercare instructions saved my life! I ended up in hospital, but already had 2 days of antibiotics before going to the hospital. Would have been disastrous if I had waited to follow up with my usual health provider. Was seen quickly at NextCare thanks to their online appointment system. Friendly caring staff.

Review №41

I will preference this review by saying I am not somebody that goes to the dr unless it feels like a last resort. I suffer from spring seasonal allergies and about every other year it ends up going into a bad sinus infection that I suffer with until I take an antibiotic.When I explained this to the staff yesterday I was told up front by the dr that she would not be giving me a script for the antibiotics I was requesting because she thought it was viral possibly Covid and would have to run its course.  I explained that this is a strong history with me at the end of March when my allergies have been active for 2-3 weeks and antibiotics are always required to allow me to beat the infection.  I said I know my body this is an infection and not viral an antibiotic will clear this up. All the home remedies I try never completely clear it up.  I was told she had 20 years of experience and knew better.When I questioned how she had come to that conclusion she agreed to prescribe the antibiotics but that it would be 7 days before I could pick them up.  When I recommended testing her theory and giving me the prescription today if I took a Covid test and it was negative she said I would still need to wait 7 days even if the test came back negative.So basically I am stuck going to see somebody else and spending another $150 copay or suffering another 7 days to get the medication I need.It seemed less like an informed medical opinion and more like she was going to show me she knew best. The fact that she did write the prescription for the end of the week lets me know she is aware that it could be an infection. That it doesn’t bother her I will be sick with this all week is why I will not be seeking any more care from this provider.

There is not an option for zero stars so...TOTAL CLUSTERF*CK. Completely unbridled incompetency. Went in for x-rays. Was checked-in, of course gave copay, then told (by FNP-no doctor here) I cant have my kind of x-rays done. Had scheduled appointment for possible fractured pelvis. FNP tells me the tech is not competent to do what is needed. Why did you check me in? Immediately starts trying to get me out the door. Gives me some papers tells me to get x-rays done elsewhere. Go to hospital, x-rays sent back to FNP. FNP claims I am not his responsibility and calls hospital fraudulent for taking x-rays based on paperwork he sent me with. Now x-rays werent done correctly. Whole day a waste and STILL NO ANSWERS...but I get to pay for it IN SO MANY WAYS. Have to go somewhere else and pay for everything to be re-seen and x-rays to be re-done. DONT GO HERE!!!I received two phone calls from someone who claimed to be intent on resolving my issue. Offered a refund and advised me to call back if I didnt see it in my account within a week. As of 3/29 staff at location act as if they have no idea what Im taking about and no refund.

Yesterday, February 27th, my mother and I visited this location. My mother, a diabetic, is more susceptible to severe complications when ill. Upon arrival, we were instructed to schedule an appointment, which we promptly did. However, the appointed time was 2 to 2 and a half hours after our initial arrival. This was disconcerting as my mother could have been experiencing Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Approximately an hour later, we returned for check-in and encountered a delay. Three staff members were present at the front desk; one was engaged in a personal phone call, and the other two were engaged in conversation. We waited for five minutes before we were attended to.When we left, my mother informed me of her experience in the back. Initially, she was not provided with the necessary paperwork, which the doctor had requested. Additionally, the restroom toilet was filled to capacity with paper towels. A nurse informed her that her blood sugar levels were elevated and that she needed a finger prick. However, my mother has a sensor on her arm that monitors her blood sugar levels, which she showed to the nurse. The nurse disregarded the sensors readings, instead opting to rely on the urine test, which revealed elevated levels. This discrepancy led me to question the reliability of their urine testing methodology. Furthermore, the doctor appeared to lack knowledge of diabetes and the essential information required for diabetic patients. Ultimately, the examination yielded no diagnosis despite my mother having experienced six days of persistent vomiting.Subsequently, my mother went to the pharmacy to collect the prescribed nausea medication. She was advised to visit another urgent care facility. Overall, the visit was incredibly stressful and challenging. The hygiene standards and patient care were subpar. Had it not been for the nearby coffee shop, the experience would have been thoroughly unpleasant. (The hour we spent waiting, I got a drink while she rested.)

HORRIBLE! I went in for an ear infection, and waited for an hour after getting into the room. After the nurse got done checking my ears she told me she would send someone in to irrigate my ears. They were out of parts for the irrigation system so she ended up coming back in and tried to scrape out the wax in my infected ear(I was crying from how painful it was and she just kept going) She ended up rupturing my ear drum and I left in more pain than when I came in. I was given Tylenol and rushed out of the room. The front desk lady was super nice though.

Review №55

Every single member of the staff has had an apparently long and bad day (it’s 10am…) it seems everyone hated their job, and the patients. I explicitly asked to not be tested for Covid and then had a qtip jammed up my nose, because “without the test I would be forced to quarantine for a week by assuming it’s positive”… it was negative. NP had a foul attitude and very aggressively believed that whatever came out of her mouth was 1000% true. Overall very rude and no one seems to care at all, I waited an hour to be called but there were more people there that continued to wait for 2 hours.Pick literally ANY other urgent care.

Nice way to spend 140 dollars for them to tell you they cant do anything and you should wait it out. Doctor didnt even do a single test. At one point had the nerve to ask me you look like you were expecting someting. Go somewhere else and hopefully you get a doctor who tells you literally anything about why you walked in.

Arrived just before 8:00 a.m. (7:50) on a Saturday morning. There was already 1 or 2 other patients there. According to their advertisements inside their building they are supposed to see 4 patients an hour on average. I filled out the appropriate paperwork to be seen as quickly as possible. However, another walk-in patient arrived before me and was seen before me. At 9:20 a.m. I was still not seen by a nurse or doctor. They offered no explanation to the delay prior to my departure. They did however refund my copay amount but that wont be available for 3-5 business days. If I could give it a 0 star rating, I would.

I called this facility to inquire about their ability to treat seed ticks, only to be told I’d need to pay for an appointment before getting any information, even just a yes or no. This struck me as unreasonable—especially when I called Columbia Urgent Care and received an immediate, helpful answer from the receptionist who put me on hold and went an asked a physician.It’s disappointing to see a healthcare facility prioritize revenue over basic patient care. If you’re looking for upfront, honest service, I’d recommend skipping this place in favor of Columbia Urgent Care.This place has so many good reviews, I really expected better.

Super quick and convenient. All of their paperwork is automated/can be done on your phone so I was in and out in about 1/2 the time. The only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars is they cost twice as much as my usual GP. Unlike my usual GP though Im able to see them w/o having to schedule 2 weeks in advance.

Review №78

Overall my nurse practitioner, Adkisson had poor bedside manner. I went to get sutures removed that were just below my knee. The removal of my stitches was painful. The nurse mentioned to his assistant after removing the first stitch that the scissors he was using were ...doggy or not good. The assistant offered to grab a new pair but he said that it would be okay. Before removing the last of my stitches he rubbed the area where I was cut and it hurt. When I made it apparent that it hurt he did not seem to care and he didnt stop, and there was no reason to be rubbing the cut area other than I guess to show me that I needed to rub ointment on it after? It was just a weird disregard for the fact that I was in pain. After removing the last stitch he said Look at that, now you can shave there again!. As a woman, I found that inappropriate and disrespectful, especially after the disregard for my pain. And to my knowledge, suture removal is not supposed to hurt. Overall very weird experience, wouldnt go back, wouldnt want to be treated by that nurse again. I hope this is helpful to those considering their options.

I waited nearly 2 hours to see the NP for approximately a total of 5 minutes. My reason for visit was eye irritation, yet no one stepped near my eye to look at it at all. They quickly diagnosed me with a cluster headache and told me to take ibuprofen until it magically went away. It only proceeded to get worse. I saw a primary care Dr took once glance at my eye and rushed me to an eye doctor, to which I have now seen three because I had an EYE IRRITATION. I had complete loss of vision in my eye for longer than a week and was in severe pain. I am facing permanent damage to my eye and vision due to the negligence of the staff. If they would have looked at my eye or referred me to somewhere, this could have been avoided. I have been out of work for two weeks and unable to drive. I will never enter this clinic again and will speak to my peers to do the same.

Would call and make sure the lady NP(s) are there if I ever have to go back there because my previous experiences weren’t this bad. My symptoms weren’t assessed properly I was tested for covid and had my freaking lungs listened to but I didn’t have covid symptoms. Not sure if NP felt uncomfortable assessing all of my symptoms because I was a woman and he was male but I showed him pictures of some of the symptoms that I explained would go away after my hygiene routine but come back pictures taken literally 30 min or less before I got to the office and was told he didn’t see that they should’ve gotten a sample to determine the severity of my symptoms as well but I was just prescribed antibiotics(who knows if my bacteria will even respond to them because no sample of it was taken) as a fellow HCP I’m very displeased with the service and I could hear them speaking about it like the doctor was hollering from the office to the triage lady yelling back from their station in the middle about what symptoms I reported. Just.. I pray I never need to go back there. Would’ve went to quick care but they didn’t have services listed for what I’m sure my diagnoses are. Got there 5 min after they opened and was there for about 2.5 hours some of that time was waiting on a Covid test I didn’t need

Review №82

I mean when you dont have many options to begin with things would have to be pretty bad to rule one out. I set an appointment prior and wasnt actually seen until upwards of an hour after my designated time.When I finally was examined it seemed rushed taking less than 30 seconds to complete. After saying no to the sub 30 second test of surface pain for my swollen (assumed sprained) ankle I was told they didnt think it broken at all but asked if I wanted an x-ray. The short attention given didnt provide me any confidence and I already had no idea if what I assumed to be a sprained ankle was actually the case so I said yes.I got my x-ray and was shortly after told that I had no fracture likely had a sprain and was given care instructions for the following week and a pair of crutches. I had mentioned I might need a walking assist but wasnt sure earlier but was never informed of other options and of course I dont know anything about whats best or else I wouldnt have been there. I left and was charged $143 dollars for a total 2 hours spend waiting, cumulative 5 minutes of care, and crutches that it feels were given to me without offering me a wrap and maybe Tylenol which would have been more inexpensive. And that $143 was after insurance. The cost of the X-ray and crutches I likely didnt need are frustrating because I feel like I was pressured into accepting the x-ray because of the lack of attention and information I was shown and given. And the crutches that were apparently my sole option to help recovery.I have no doubt the people here know what theyre doing but whether or not they care about the people theyre seeing felt up in the air. I know Healthcare is a stressful environment and nobody can always be at 100% but its frustrating to go somewhere for help and leave feeling partially ignored and slightly taken advantage of.

Review №83

I’ve been to this clinic quite a few times. The first few times were decent experiences. However my last two visits were the worst. The doctor that saw me last time I came in, didn’t even speak to me and handed me a prescription for something. She didn’t even tell me what I had!Then today I went in with an appointment, and was told that it would be a 2 HOUR wait for someone to see me. If your appointment isn’t going to be honored then they need to say that when you are booking, or at least tell you how long the wait is going to be when you walk in. It was a complete waste of my time! I understand they are busy due to flu season, but the front desk worker was extremely rude to me when I went up and asked how long the wait was going to be.

Review №84

As a healthcare worker myself who understands the challenges of the field and has reasonable expectations, I would not recommend his urgent care. I also never leave reviews but after two back to back to back poor experiences from our household I felt it was warranted. The staff was cold and not welcoming. There was only one other person there when I visited (they had left about 15 minutes before I was even taken back to a room) yet my visit took over an hour including nearly 40 minutes in the waiting room. No one seemed in any hurry to provide prompt care. I could hear everyone loudly talking and socializing while I waited. The care we received was not thorough. The CNA who did the intake was extremely flat, not friendly and gave the impression she hates her job. The office screen for strep was negative even though I knew thats what I had (CNA didnt get a good swab) and got a call 5 days later that the second culture came back and... not a shock... I had strep throat just like I told them. Well at that point I had suffered through it as well as exposed my 3 kids including a newborn (which I was hoping to get an antibiotic to avoid this in the first place) and no longer needed medicine, making the entire visit useless- a total waste of time and money. We had a similar experience with my daughter when we tried to give them a second chance two days later. The CNA was again not friendly to my husband and he said everyone seemed to just be sitting around rather than making an effort to provide more timely care. After they left, we needed to back call to address a prescription concern at the pharmacy and they dont answer the phone so my husband had to drive back with my sick child to get our issue addressed. If this was my employer I would be completely embarrassed about the lack of thorough or compassionate care!

My nurse was EXTREMELY rude. I was here for cold symptoms and another personal issue. I did not want to have a Covid test, and the nurse tried to get me to do one anyways. There is no reason I should be subjected to tests that I DO NOT consent to. When I had to tell her again that I didn’t want one, she rolled her eyes at me and walked out in the hallway only to talk about me loud enough(in a mocking tone) that I could hear it. I got up and said you know what, I’m just gonna head out. I left untreated for at least one issue that definitely could have been addressed, but as soon as I mentioned I was having cold symptoms covid was all they cared about.

I think the visit went well! The nurse and doctor were the nicest they could have ever been. The nurse we had was a nice lady named Tonya. She made sure my granddaughter felt better. We came in because my granddaughter had a sore throat. She had to get a covid and strep test. The nurse did it quick and easily. After awhile, the doctor came in. She was kind and welcoming. We told her we were traveling, and even though she said she was negative for both, still gave her a prescription. I really liked the visit and thought it was worthwhile!!

We walked in at 4:45pm (they close at 8pm...8pm...) with my 10 year old who is having severe ear and throat pain. We were told that they were at capacity for walk ins that day. And would I like to have an appointment for 8am tomorrow? Im so very confused and frustrated as to why on earth they would even have their doors open or advertise themselves as an urgent care, if this is how their facility is run. We will absolutely not be back. On a side note, this review is no reflection at all on the staff who we interacted with. The ladies at the front desk were so polite, professional, and apologetic.

Went to this location a few months back and it was great. I was having congestion, sore throat and cough(exactly what I was having this time) and the previous provider prescribed me an antibiotic that got rid of it within a couple of days. I decided to come here again and it was HORRIBLE. I had an appointment for 2:40, got there at 2:28. I was there until 4:40. Kathryn Dietz is who I saw and she was easily the worst “provider” i’ve ever been to. Waited in the room for around an hour and a half and she was in my room for maybe 20 seconds. She said “It’s probably just allergies”. I’ve experienced allergies my entire life, so if I thought it was allergies I would not come in. I definitely won’t go back here if she’s the “provider”.

I had tried going to the ER the night before and my friend and I waited 3 hours for them to see me.It is due to the fact that its future patients are seen on a need basis not a first come first serve basis.People that were coming in with more serious health needs are always treated firstNeedless to say I was never seen and had to leave before being treated.I was treated within an hour when I went to NextCare urgent Care thats why Im very grateful and willing to write a nice little review.It was quick and painless, and had the best check in system Ive ever seen! All being on your phone so that you can do it at your own pace. It even shows you how many people are waiting ahead of you.

I had the most horrible experience here!I am not one to complain but I’m very frustratedI came in on a Sunday afternoon and there was only 2-3 people in the lobby! I had an appointment to be seen! I came in @3:30 for my appointment and checked in! I was in line next according to the app and I sat there until 4:45 finally I got to go back….. I didn’t leave there office till 6:30pm… I came in to get a wellness check done and a TB test for my job and the reason why I chose to come to this clinic is because they do the TB test… the doctor told me I don’t need the test done because I didn’t have any symptoms of TB BUT it was for my work and the state required us to have it and I told her that multiple times!The doctor assured me that she could just write it off saying I’m in good health and I don’t need it… well long story short I got in trouble by my work because THEY refused to do THEIR JOB! I’m so frustrated… on top of that a wellness check doesn’t take 3 hours that’s ridiculous… when I was leaving I asked them to bill my insurance and they said they don’t accept it. My insurance is very good and there is no reason they should not have accepted it.. so they MADE me pay out of pocket when it should’ve been covered on my insurance and my insurance company agreed! everyone was rude and very poor care was given! Do not recommend this place at all… and now I have to start this process all over again but not with this business every again! They were all very lazy and obviously can’t perform there job correctly!

This place has really gone downhill since I was there last. I went in with Covid hoping to get a chest x-ray as arranged by appointment. Waited 1.5 hrs past my appt time and I’m really hurting. They went to get a Covid test kit and disappeared for 30 minutes. Then a different person came in and said they couldn’t do an x-ray because I would contaminate the machine and they would have to clean it. Never again here. First check to see how many are in waiting room because appointment times are meaningless. I was there for 2 hrs 20 minutes and left frustrated and empty handed. Personnel don’t seem to know what they are doing. Do yourself a huge favor and find a care unit that cares and has knowledgeable staff.

They even called back 3 days later to make sure I was feeling better and about steps I should take to make sure I dont get reinfected, which I really appreciated.

Friendly reception. I was seen quickly on a Friday evening at 7:10 pm. I presented with a puncture wound at middle of the sole of my left foot. They cleansed the wound and gave me a tetanus shot. There were only two other clients there. I departed at 8:10 p.m. The nurse practitioner was tired, no nonsense but easy to banter with. I could tell they were ready to go home, but on a Friday evening, who could blame them. I would have felt better if some ointment was put on the band-aid before putting it on the sole of my foot and not just a prescription given for me to pick up the next day. So it was a dry large bandaid.

I am never the type of person to complain like this about an establishment, however I just want to help fellow college students out and warn you not to waste your time or money going to such an unorganized and unhelpful urgent care. I went here with what I thought was strep throat and they took a strep culture but decided to treat me for strep before the results came back. However, I never received a call with the results and while the antibiotic they gave me helped for a few days, it came back before I was even done taking the medicine so I tried calling to see if they had my test results or could do anything else to help me. After calling multiple times and staying on the line for nearly an hour, nobody picked up so I went into the office and the waiting room was completely empty. I dont understand why nobody could pick up the phone if there were no patients waiting to be seen. When I went in and told them that nobody called me with the results, they all acted very confused as to how that had happened, and decided to test me again and treat me again for strep. Still, nobody ever called with the results, so Ive now been treated with two antibiotics without even knowing if strep is what I have because nobody will tell me. I dont want to waste my time and money going back because I know nothing will be done. So I just want to warn anyone thinking of going here, dont. They literally dont do the most basic and simple part of their job of answering the phone or informing patients of their diagnosis and treating them for such.

My daughter was visibly upset due to ear pain. The staff was kind, patient, and helpful. They were able to get her in quickly and provided her with wonderful care.

I got attacked by an animal that left me with claw marks and flaps of skin hanging off and I rushed to this urgent care because it was the last one open. I got there right before 8pm and they said they were closed and turned me away. I can’t even begin to imagine having so little empathy for another human, leaving them to be crippled by ER bills or to suffer 12 more hours just because you couldn’t be bothered to stay a few more minutes.

I was a walk in patient, and I was in and out within 30 minutes. The provider was EXTREMELY kind, knowledgeable, and made me feel like she truly cared about helping me to start healing. Such a wonderful experience.

Last week I dropped some heavy dishes on my foot. After two days it was swollen and it was incredibly painful to walk. It was a Saturday evening and I decided that it would be best to get it checked out, just in case, but did not want to sit in the ER.I went to Providence Urgent care around 7 pm (they close at 8). There were a couple other people filling out forms for a visit. Because I had never been there before, I had two forms to fill out, and they just required my health insurance and an ID. The receptionist was very friendly, even considering the fact that she was somewhat busy and it was an hour prior to closing time on a Saturday night.After completing the forms, I waited for two minutes at the most. Two nurses brought me to a room to get my health history, take my blood pressure, find out why I was there, etc.The wait for the doctor to see me was very brief (in past visits to doctors/the ER, this wait usually takes the longest). She examined my foot and was very thorough and gentle. She was incredibly kind and made me feel very comfortable. I was sent with an X-ray tech to have my foot X-rayed (the X-ray tech was also very friendly). After another very short wait, the doctor returned to tell me that nothing was broken. She gave me some tips on how to care for my foot and sent in a nurse to wrap it. The nurse also gave me some tips on how to care for my foot, etc.Altogether, with filling out paperwork, consulting with the nurses, doctor, and X-rays, my visit was about 25 minutes. I usually spend at least that waiting to be seen for a scheduled doctor appointment.I am incredibly thrilled with my experience. Today, (3 days later) I received a follow up call to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. I highly recommend Providence Urgent Care to everyone!

Scheduled a physical for 9:15, didnt get in until 40 mins later, and didnt get done with it until 10:30. Even after getting in the room, the majority of my time was spent sitting around. For $66 I would expect much quicker service for something as simple as a physical.

Currently 35 mins past my appointment and still people in front of me. Dont assume they will see you in a prompt manner or even close to your appointment time. Would have been nice to know ahead of time.Edit: absolute garbage. Got to 45 minutes past my appointment time and left. These people have absolutely no clue what they are doing. Wouldnt reccomend youbtrust them with your health. Bet I get a bill too...

I scheduled my visit online, got in to see the Provider on time (early slot before they got too busy). The Provider took her time, evaluated and listened to me. Came back with care plan options as well as her recommendation, and why she made the recommendation. Very easy to talk to. If I need Urgent Care again I’ll return to NextCare.

I arrived at this urgent care at 1:30pm and was told to come back at 2:15 as that was the earliest appointment available. I came back at 2 and waited for over 2 hours in my car. I tried calling the front desk and I was unable to reach them by phone so I’d have to walk in and ask them how many people were ahead of me and for over an hour and a half they said there were 2 guests ahead of me. The people at the front desk had zero since of urgency and said that it was not possible to schedule an appointment which is absurd when encountering wait times over 2 and a half hours!

Right now it is not easy to get a doctor appointment right away. The walk-in service is so helpful. They let you know what you’ll need to take care of your visit right when you walk in and the staff is honest, thoughtful, and helpful. The wait time was not terrible and social distancing, while not harshly enforced, was easily maintained. While I don’t currently have health insurance, they have a program for medical care that you pay for upfront and then per visit. This seems far more affordable than paying for the entire cost of your services which could limit your care.

I was sick and couldnt get into my doctor. I was able to book an appointment online fairly easily. I am sure more techno savvy people could have whizzed through. I was treated wonderfully by the entire staff and was diagnosed with the flu and pneumonia! I was prescribed meds and I think I was out in about 45 minutes. They were able to do a chest xray on the premises. I will definitely keep them in mind when I need care urgently again. Thanks to Elisha, front staff, Kristin and Daniella Back staff and Dr. Ralf. And a little over 36 hours later I am definitely on the mend. Thanks again!

Very bad experience :( I went in sick and only got tested for covid. My test was negative but they told me to quarantine for 3 days anyway and keep testing myself at home for Covid. I kept testing negative and was still sick so I scheduled another appointment. It said it was an online appointment but I was confused on what I needed to do for this appointment so I tried calling the urgent care. I was on the line for over 40 minutes and ended up just giving up and trying to get on my virtual appointment. I then waited in the virtual appointment room for 30 minutes until I got a call from the urgent care asking where I was. I was unaware you needed to actaully come in to the urgent care for the virtual appointment which I would’ve figured out if they answered my original call in the first place. I ended up missing my appointment and had to go somewhere else. Overall just not a good experience considering they sent me home without testing for anything else and then made it difficult for me to get another appointment.

The primarily physician was nice and all. However, they are extremely EXTREMELY slow here! I walked in at 9 and got assisted as soon as 915 but was not able to leave the place until noon. I was in the room waiting for 2.5 hours and another half an hour just to get finalized prescription. Mind you that I was the ONLY person there. I came in for a typical flu visit. I couldve just give them what to prescribe me. Front receptionist was also not very helpful with my insurance and billing questions.

Over the course of the weekend with a sick family Ive been here twice. Today it was my husband who was diagnosed with pneumonia and dehydration. They gave him antibiotics, an inhaler and Ive fluids. He already feels better. Great nursing staff and a great group of doctors. They were super friendly and it was super quick. Now we are on the road to recovery!

Was 2nd person in waiting room to be checked in. Then 4 separate people who came in behind me got seen before me. Rather drive 45 mins to my regular physician than sit here.Update: I went to the receptionist and they got me in right away and apologized sincerely about the mix upUpdate on the update: I had to come back because my work required COVID-19 testing and they got me in right away! They are awesome and don’t put blame on anyone else. Very friendly people.

Not a terribly long wait time, which was nice surprise, because I was prepared for a long afternoon. Friendly staff, caring and knowledgeable! Got the help I needed that I couldn’t take care of during the week with my regular doctor, since I couldn’t find the time to take off in the middle of the week.

Review №171

Unprofessional yelling from nurses in the back and double standards of which patients/visitors wear masks. This team of nurses should speak up and hold one another accountable when they see it. If you have two small signs that say to wear a mask and you let three different patients walk back without them…that’s a problem.

The nurse practitioner, Elizabeth, was very attentive and because she took a chest X-ray I was found to have a nodule that needed to be followed. Had she not done that I would not of known prior to going for a cardiac cath. I felt she took the time and the effort to try to make certain that I had to care that I needed to get. Moreover she got the CT scan scheduled that very day so it could be done prior to my procedure. I have gone to Providence urgent care several times and I’ve taken my daughter there and each time they have gone above and beyond,I felt, to make me feel welcome and cared for.

I am so grateful for the doctor, nurses and receptionist that were working on Sunday night. After spending the day, battling a pretty bad case of viral gastroenteritis (aka stomach flu) and getting absolutely no relief with any home remedy, I walked into the urgent care and was immediately greeted with kind and understanding faces. I ended up spending about an hour and a half there, receiving two bags of IV fluids and the entire time, they made me feel so comfortable and cared for. I walked in feeling like death and left feeling like a human again. Thank you so much to the team that took care of me last night!

Horrible service. I was there 45 minutes. When I got there I was checked in by a nurses get tech. And then no one else came to see me. So I open the door for 10 minutes and waited for someone to walk bye and I didnt see anyone. So I walked up to the desk and ask if there was a provider on staff today. I was told they have one and he was very busy. So I left. The nursing staff are eating at the desk. The provider didnt get up out of his chair for 30 minutes. Just not what it used to be. I would have understand if it were busy. But it was not.

Whats the point of having an appointment if you will be sitting for hours for a simple covid test? Takes a max of 20 minutes and yet you have the people sitting with everyone else the whole time they wait for anything. If you dont have time dont accept appointments!

My six year old fell at the playground on a Sunday evening; we went into NextCare- Nifong in Columbia about 45 minutes before their scheduled close time. They were polite, professional and handled my son with care (which included x-rays). Should we have an urgent need in the future, we will use this location again.

Absolutely awful experience! Avoid this place! I went here yesterday 10/6/20 at 4:15 for a Covid rapid. I’m picking up my mom who is immunocompromised from the hospital tomorrow and have not been feeling well. The receptionist told me to come back between 9-4:30 the following day (they had already met their 90 person testing max for the day). I show up the next day at 2:30 pm, wait in line outside for 30 minutes (per protocol they only allow certain amount of people in). Nurse comes outside and says we’re only going to take 5 more people for rapid testing today, “I can’t have my staff working all day”....they’re open daily until 8pm. A rude person waiting in front of me starts interfering and stating, “we’ve been here longer than you, get over it”. They take her and 4 others in. Knowing how crucial this test is for my mother’s safety, I continue to wait in line for the regular test. After 15 minutes of additional waiting, I decide to go inside and ask a question. The same rude person starts interfering in my business again. So I decide to respond with a few select words for her. The person sitting behind the desk, jumps up screaming at me to leave and tells me if I come back “I’ll report you for trespassing” without telling the other patient that she shouldn’t have interfered in my personal conversation with staff, not once but twice. Obviously you have my name and can check out who I am. I’m a registered nurse (never mentioned this), and can say professionally the way you handle your testing by wasting people’s time is shameful! And if I by chance do have Covid....and you wasted my time two consecutive days, then told me never to come back after 45 minutes of waiting; while taking the side of a rude person who was unnecessarily meddling in my health business, you’ll need to answer me. Columbia is very limited on testing and I have only been sympathetic for 48 hours. I have never left a negative review for any clinic!

Review №183

I don’t know why they advertise walk-ins when you try and they tell you that you have to come back tomorrow because they can’t see you. And when you do get an appointment, you’re stuck in the waiting room for an hour and back in the office for at LEAST another hour. Like they just forget about you and then say “oh we’re just busy”. Took over 2 hours for a 15 minute flu test.

Went to the Stadium location first...got there at 9:06, you supposedly open at 9. Receptionist was sitting at the desk totally ignoring me as I waited outside. Looked at my watch to confirm time you open vs what time it was. Waited a couple minutes outside, another lady arrives, still the receptionist is just ignoring us. Finally she comes to the door and says we are short on staff and not sure when we will open. Go to Providence location, wait about 40ish minutes to be seen. That goes pretty smoothly other than after getting a Tetanus shot I am told to wait and they will come to release me. After about 10-15 minutes waiting I finally go out and ask if there is some reason why I need to stay to which the reply is oh sorry, I thought someone had come to release you. So had I had a adverse reaction to the shot, being behind a closed door and no one aware I was still there...it would have just been tough luck because I could have been lying on the floor by that point. That will most definitely be my last visit to any of your locations. So 2 hours and $188 later all for one Tetanus shot....very poor service. :(

This was the third time in two years I visited Providence Urgent Care and have complete confidence in the staff, the nurses and the doctor. I live over 80 miles away and waited to make the trip to Columbia as I have much faith in their diagnosis and without an appointment have always been taken back to the room in 5 to 15 min. even before I would have paperwork finished. This NEVER happens in smaller towns!! The nurses and Dr. Zerrer are always thorough with questions and answering my questions. The x-ray staff is very informative also. Whether an injury from a fall or from lung x-rays the staff is very cordial. The return phone calls are a nice surprise to ask how I am doing, local doctors in rural areas do not bother with this complimentary effort. Even the Columbia hospitals have representatives to call you at home after a hospital dismissal. What a blessing this staff is to have in Columbia. Thank you.

Ive gone to the one off of Nifong probably over ten times and Ive never had issues with any of the doctors or nurses. Great people skills had by all and diagnosing and treating on point. If you need something taken care of that can wait until Providence is open, Id recommend going here instead of the emergency room. Their website has a pretty solid list of things within their scope of practice. Highly recommend 👌

Review №187

Worst experience ever. Online appointment system did not work so my appointment was not registered. My wait time was over an hour with 2 people ahead of me. Both secretaries had trouble figuring out how to do their job on the computer to even enter my insurance information.After the visit I asked for documentation to be emailed to me and apparently even that task is difficult for them to perform because it was never done. This place is run by untrained drones with very little experience in both basic computing and customer service skills.Also, no direct phone line to the clinic. You must go through their labyrinthian call center which is unnecessary corporate trash and just delays the inevitable of redirecting you to the clinic.Avoid this place.

This place used to be fast. Now its slow! Ive been here for 2 plus hours. Had me sitting in the exam. room for an hour plus. Staff keeps stating, someone will be in to see you shortly. 30 minutes later still not seen. I never spent that much time at my primary care doctors office. Actually, I never spent that much time at any doctors office. This is ridiculous! SmhThen the doctor writes me two scripts that none of the pharmacies have. This is crazy!

This urgent care is awful. I went in for a rapid covid test and a pcr test. I had an appointment at 3:15 and didnt leave until almost 6 pm. They told me that it would take 15 minutes to get my results for the rapid test and I sat there for an hour. They also told me the way to get the pcr results were on the sheet of paper that they gave me and they were not. I cant find anything on the website on how to get my results and have not received a call like they said they would. This is an awful urgent care, never go here.

They made me wait in my hot car for an hour for curbside service because I needed/my symptoms warranted a COVID test. Okay, I get it, you have to disinfect everything, it was busy, etc. When I finally got in, the nurse practitioner took no time with me. Practically dismissed me as soon as she saw me. I was concerned for my symptoms & really struggling to breathe, so I ended up going to another place. Turns out I had pneumonitis. Which would have been nice to know earlier. Ended up wasting a lot of my time, nurse practitioner had a horrible attitude towards me & was rude. Quite a dehumanizing experience.

Registered online last night to get a covid test today...filled out all my insurance information...went in 10 minutes early with no one in the lobby. The receptionist informed me I would need to fill out paperwork, the same paperwork I filled online last night. Then I waiting 20 more minutes, two patients had previously left. While I waiting, numerous staff came up front behind the counter, doing nothing, maybe gossiping...At that point, I told the receptionist to tear up my file and left feeling frustrated.These people operate like its a Non For Profit and have no business sense....Sure wasnt like this when Jason & Scott owned and operated the clinic. Very Sad

The worst expirence I ever had at a doctors office. The doctor came in with an attitude, which only got worse, never actually went over any of my symptoms. Prescribed a medicine and stormed out. I will never come here again.
