They didnt take my insurance and told me my visit would be $140 for cash pay. Then billed me an additional $110. Thats $250 for a 15 minute visit! If I would have been informed of the actual price I would have gone elsewhere.

I went in with symptoms that had been ongoing for several days and requested a specific test. It was not until after I received the test that they told me it would be a day or two to get results. I ended up calling back in three different times to get the test results and a prescription filled. Every time I had to wait hours for a call back and never once was able to speak to a health care provider, but was handed off between office staff. This experience was unimpressive in every way, and I will not be going back to this urgent care.

I went to this location because I was feeling extremely ill. I expressed that I had multiple symptoms and would like to be checked out. No tests were ran And I was told I have a viral bug, but I should be good to go back to work as I was not contagious. The following day, I was still feeling extremely ill so I went to Walgreens and purchased Covid test. Turns out I tested positive for Covid. I called Sterling urgent care to let them know That I was dissatisfied with my experience with them. They proceeded to make excuses saying that they offered a test and recommended that I go get a test, which was a lie. I got two loved ones sick due to the misinformation I received. I will not go back to Sterling urgent care due to this experience. I hope this helps someone else.

The staff was super polite and kind even at the end of the day, respectfully letting others know when they couldnt take anyone else. Best way I have ever seen it handled. I love the tinted windows for privacy, especially while filling out forms. Tinted windows also reduce direct solar gain which helps keep the energy use down in the building in summer (direct solar gain). My nurses name today was Morgan, she was super polite, made me laugh when I was nervous, did her job well and professional. Great healthcare worker overall, I would be happy to come back here.

I went in to the office on Glenwood with a sore on my foot and wanted it to get looked at and asked how much it would cost as I have no insurance and am cash self pay. The lady told me it was $140 and I would need to pay right then, so although it was quite a high amount I agreed and paid. I went in to see the nurse practitioner and she wrapped and basically said go home and ice it and let them know if it didnt get better in a few days. That was a week ago and today I get another bill for $110 (so the real amount was $250) and I called to tell them there must be a mistake and they said no. The $140 was the initial bill and they said I signed it when I signed the paper work, which I assumed was the hipa paperwork. They are very devious and Ive filed a complaint with the BBB and you can bet they have not heard the end of this yet. HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICE that they cant be honest and upfront with their customers about how much it really cost to be seen there. Had they been honest and told me it was $250 I would have turned around and walked out and waited for my doctor at Terry Reilly to open on Monday. They should be ashamed of their selves for not being honest business people. I will never walk in your business again !! This business has zero honesty and integrity!!

All other urgent care in the valley charges my $10 copay. These guys are out of network it cost $70 for my copay. I was not able to receive medical attention today because I didnt have money.

The staff is really friendly. The location is also extremely convenient. I went there on a Thursday afternoon about two in the afternoon and I was extremely lucky in that no one was waiting. Can’t say that about a hospital emergency room or even your own doctors office.

I had to take my housekeeper to this urgent care facility for a cut finger and we received excellent care and support starting with the wonderful front desk receptionist Leslie, to the assigned nursing and medical staff. Definitely a great place to seek professional medical assistance with a responsive, caring medical team. Highly recommended.

One of the first urgent cares I’ve gone to that didn’t treat me like another number. Yes, it was slower, but they made me feel like I mattered. Joshua at the front desk was kind and respectful. And the physician who saw me took the time to explain things, and listen to me and answer all my questions. Better then even a regular doctors office. I’d recommend these guys for all urgent care needs!

Seriously the best and friendliest service in the valley. We used to stick to a certain urgent care despite the further drive but after numerous horrible interactions we gave this one a try. Every single person we interacted with was pleasant and kind from the front desk staff to the doctors. They asked thorough questions to figure out what was wrong. Our medical assistant was phenomenal! They were very transparent with wait times and even had capri suns on standby for my teenage son. Seriously this place is top notch and our new go to spot when we are needing urgent care.

Came in about strep throat symptoms, within 20 minutes I was called back to be seen, all the staff were super friendly, even offered me a water while I waited for my tests to be done, which I had never experienced anywhere else so that was a bit refreshing. Got my results for my tests within 10 minutes or so, was given many method of alleviating my symptoms and a detailed explanation of my diagnosis, and even given the option to do a lab test for further testing. Overall I received better care than I expected to receive here, and will definitely be coming here again for urgent care.

Went there in a lot of pain due to testicle infection in serious need of help, had no insurance or money and the lady at the reception refused to let me in to get seen going to warn people in the future to not get help here. I have never been turned down for something serious before so if I could put zero stars at this place I would.

I am having kidney stone problems again (after a 2cm one was removed in August). I knew the pain that was coming and Jennifer, the medical assistant, and the provider, Isabel were amazing! So professional and caring! Isabel wrote me 3 prescriptions AND sent me over to another AFC that had a shot that would help me with the pain.I will use them again; my daughter was right, they were great!

Had an urgent health issue come up and my regular healthcare provider had no room for a same-day appointment so I check these guys out. So glad I did! Very kind, very timely, high-quality medical care and information. I love the way I was handled by everyone from the receptionist to the MA to provider herself! Thank you for being true to your mission! 🩵

Hands down the most respectful office I’ve ever been to. Respectful of your time, your comfort, and your visit. I went in the morning on Friday 11/25, was greeted immediately and offered water. They offered juice to my daughter as well, and just were very kind. I was seen pretty fast considering it was urgent care, they had my tests for Covid and the flu done as soon as I went back to the room. Usually getting swabbed for being sick sucks, but the whole experience was really fast and easy. I was able to leave knowing what I was sick with. They have a clean and comfortable environment, definitely will be returning if I’m ever in need again. These people are why our health care workers deserve so much appreciation. Thank you guys!

Had an excellent experience here; wait time was not too long and the receptionist was very helpful. My provider and medical assistant were also excellent: really insightful and informative but also very empathetic and considerate. They went above and beyond to help me.

In an out in 50 minutes which is really nice for an urgent care. Im used to waiting much longer. The MA, LPN and med student who examined me were all exceptionally friendly and informative. The MA had all the tests ready to go when she walked in the room. The receptionist told me about the costs insurance didn’t cover before I went back to the appointment, whereas it’s been an unpleasant surprise before at other urgent care clinics. I appreciated the follow up call today as well. All in all really impressed with the care and bedside manner of the staff here. I’ll come back if I have the need.

My experience with this facility today was excellent! Dr. Campana was so knowledgeable and took exceptional care of my dislocated shoulder. He very clearly knew what he was doing and got it realigned quickly. Nobody WANTS to have to take a trip to urgent care, but rest assured, Dr. Campana is an excellent physician and he will take the best care of you no matter what. Thank you so much, Dr. Campana and AFC! Cheers, -James

I had my first visit to AFC a couple of days ago. The place is fairly new to the area, so I was skeptical. Ive always gone to a different urgent care place here locally, but had heard good things about AFC. Walking in the door, I was surprised at how open and bright everything was! The facility was spotless! The staff was doing an incredible job of helping to keep people safely distanced, you never know who might be contagious anymore. Brittanie, at reception did an excellent job of explaining the registration process to me. It was super busy, so I was given the option of waiting in my car, or running errands while I waited and they would call me when they were ready. The wait was fine, keeping in mind the high Covid testing they do. When I was called back to the exam from, Diana, Katie and the provider Noel were so welcoming and kind. While I waited for my results, the Manager, Brad I think, even came to check on me and offered me a bottle of water while I waited. Such great service, such great people! Ill recommend AFC to all my friends and family without reservation. Thank you guys!!

The staff was friendly and personable. I was extremely impressed with the woman at the reception desk and another woman in the billing department. They spent a lot of time on the phone with the buricratic nightmare that is the VA. Their diligence saved me from a fairly good sized out of pocket expense. If you are a veteran who would rather not deal with a doctor visit to the VA, I would highly recommend AFC.

Before Thanksgiving, I was incredibly sick with a horrible cold. However, I also ended up having an anxiety attack, mainly from living alone and being miserable. I went to them two days in a row (once for covid testing, the second for anxiety) and they were so great to me! The front desk staff as well as the doctor took me so seriously. I felt so cared for, even though I was embarrassed. I highly recommend seeing them for any urgent care issues! Not to mention they were able to get me in right away, always a plus!

Although the wait time was super long, I’m sure the clinic is doing it’s best, I had a very good experience at AFC. Staff was nice, polite and collected. Madison Farrell took care of me after I was checked in, she was absolutely amazing, very professional and kind. Puts a smile on my face during these stressful times and I hope everyone that comes in feels as welcome as I did. Well done 👍

ASK for a price on any medical equipment before you leave with anything!!! Totally unethical and price gouging. They gave me a walking boot for a stress fracture, billed me later for $500. I could have bought something similar on amazon for under $100. WILL NEVER GO BACK HERE.

My husband and I went to this AFC clinic for a COVID test required for a trip. We found the staff friendly and very helpful. Kennedi was great as she administered the tests, as was the follow up with Megan.The clinic was busy, but we didn’t feel rushed through. We both appreciated the friendly and professional treatment by the clinic.

I went for covid testing and the anti bodies blood test and my nurse Abby was incredibly gentle. Had a throat swabs and blood drawn and didn’t feel either.

I received care at AFC urgent care, Garden City while traveling. The clinic was busy when I arrived, but all patients were quickly seen and the registration staff were exceptionally kind and courteous. Morgan was the provider I worked with; she was warm, professional and my visit was completed without a long wait time. A great experience.

Ive been here since 8 am and it is now 2 pm. I just want to say thank you to the staff. I wasnt able to make any appointments anywhere else for today and they ended up getting me in, no appointment needed. I dont care that it took so long because I knew they were doing their best. And thank you Ali! My kids were very nervous that the flu test was going to hurt but you made sure they were comfortable and gave them snacks for being good:) 100% would recommend this place to anyone.If people have a problem with the long wait line go somewhere else.

AFC Urgent Care in Garden City was so efficient for first time check-in and treated everyone with respect. Their young staff at the front desk were polite and quick.

Do not go to this facility to get a Covid test! A member of our family arrived last night about 5:15 and was told it would be 1.5 hour wait and that the test results are delivered within 15 minutes. Finally, after 2 hours she was taken back to an exam room and waited another 15 minutes before the test was administered and then told she had to also have an exam by a doctor (which we had better not be billed for). She was finally finished at 7:45 pm, but informed it was too late to run the test and get the results so they would run it first thing in the morning. After waiting until 10:00 a.m. (they open at 8), we called to get the results and the receptionist put us through to an answering machine. We left a message, but have not received a return phone call, e-mail or text. It is now going on 24 hours since first arriving at their facility and we still do no have results for a test that was supposed to give results in less than 15 minutes. Our continued phone calls go to the answering machine. This has been a most frustrating experience. Take the time to go to a facility where you need an appointment as it will save you much time in the long run.

Review №45

Actually they don’t even deserve one star. Was told 3 times ( I called twice and confirmed once we got there) Covid testing is free and we would not owe anything even if we came every day. I unfortunately trusted that and got a $700 Dollar bill for me and my son 1 year later. They billed us for an emergency room visit. Nobody made us aware this would happen. Called the office manager who didn’t want to do anything for us and blamed us the customer for not knowing. I told him how would you feel if you were in our shoes and trusted in the estimate we got 1 year ago… he said he would expect a bill. So he pretty much told me I can’t trust his staff? I totally feel scammed. If they would’ve been honest and said Covid tests are free but be we do charge a doctor visit as well I would never gone there. So be aware if you go there for Covid testing. Overall I’m just disappointed in the bad customer service. Not even an apology or any acknowledgment of not giving accurate information. It’s just bad business to be me.

Went here for a covid test before flying back to Boston. No appointment or insurance necessary! I was in and out in 30 minutes. Arrived at 8am on a Sunday and was the first one in—by the time I left only four other people had come in. I was initially wary because of the negative reviews from early July, but everyone I interacted with was extremely professional, kind, and wearing masks, gowns, and gloves—they seem to have worked out any issues that they may have had earlier on. I felt totally safe getting tested there. Results delivered through an online portal, which is really convenient.

I’ve been to countless urgent care facilities that took my money, sent me away assuring me nothing was wrong, only for me to return to another with different results.Here, the staff was friendly and the doctor took his time in pinpointing the current issue. They even went as far as making sure I got a coupon for my prescription, which cut the cost to nearly 1/10th of the price. For somebody without insurance, I am super appreciative. Highly recommended. Thank you!

Really wonderful staff! However, we had a 3 hour wait for a covid test for our young symptomatic son. Tons of asymptomatic people getting covid tests to travel to Hawaii etc. and no priority for treating sick people. He was sitting in the lobby coughing for 2 1/2 hours.

Review №54

Front staff was so amazing but the younger gal with long dark hair was extremely rude and seemed like we ruined her day by needing to come to the urgent care. Hopefully the company sees this and corrects her. I work in Healthcare and would never treat people so ignorantly. I am here due to pelvic pain and my mother has covid. She alone dropped 5 stars into barley 3. I understand that Healthcare is understaffed right now but no reason to be uncaring and unprofessional to the patients. No other complaints.

Unfortunately there are not a lot of places that do the rapid Covid-19 test. Also, it is unfortunate that masks aren’t required where I work in a Charter School, even though I am wearing a mask and have been vaccinated. The location and wait were not convenient, however, it is not blamed on AFC. I am grateful that AFC is doing the rapid test and I praise all of the workers here for all that they are doing. Thank you for being our heroes and I can’t thank you enough for all that you are doing in our community. Stay safe and healthy!

Review №56

This is the 3rd time Ive been here. I absolutely hate it. I feel like Im going to catch Covid just walking in. My whole family came the first time and theyll never be back. I wouldnt be here now if there were any other options for a rapid test. They test for more than just covid, doing unnecessary things just to get every penny they can out of each visit. I made an appointment this time to avoid the wait. Upon arrival Im told it could be a 2 hour wait because there are walk-ins ahead of me. Totally unprofessional! Whats the point of making an appointment then?!

Review №57

I came in for a COVID-19 test because AFC is the only place here in the treasure valley that you don’t have to have an appointment (the whole point of urgent care) and also does the rapid results test. The line definitely took a while to get through—it wrapped around the building, which was somewhat expected. Charles took me back and gave me some of the best customer service in preparing me for the test. He is hilarious! Ask for Charles when you come. He will make the wait worth it.

I was required to get a COVID-19 test for work and could not have had a more positive experience with AFC Urgent. Deborah, Mareesa, and Shari were knowledgable, friendly & went above and beyond to make the process smooth. There were 19 of us and we in and out in a flash. Friendly, professional and fast service is to be expected here. In addition to the great service, the test was quick and easy. Facilities were cleaned multiple times while we were there and I felt safe through the entire process.

I dont live in Boise and urgently needed a Covid test to travel out of the country, and AFC was the only place I could find that offered the types of tests accepted by the international airlines and foreign governmental regulations.

I visited the Garden City location for a Covid test. My appointment was at 8:30, and I waited for over an hour. Although the check in staff were very friendly, the waiting room was packed. I felt vulnerable,, because it was impossible to social distance. I wondered why people were not asked to wait in their cars, as that would have been much safer. I received a false positive on my rapid test. I am fully vaccinated; three and a half weeks have passed since my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. It is not impossible that I would still have Covid, although it was especially unlikely because all of my family members tested negative. I was informed that this situation had happened before, and they were not sure why. The practitioner was very friendly and helpful. She suggested that I could do another test, although this one would not be covered by insurance. I paid the fee, and was administered the test a second time. Before I was given results, the person from the front desk came in and let me know that management would not allow a second rapid test until 24 hours had passed. This did not make sense to me. I went elsewhere the same day and received another rapid test. That test was negative. Today (the day after) I went to a third location and received a PCR test. That test was also negative.

Review №64

Came in for a precautionary COVID test on July 7, as I was traveling to see family and wanted assurance I was negative. The website indicated results would be available in under 7 days, so I made travel plans accordingly. I have been tested in another state and the process was exceedingly painless. Preregister over the phone, drive through during your appointment time, techs come to the car, drive away in under 10 minutes with no risk of exposure.In contrast, my experience at AFC Urgent Care was incredibly stressful. After waiting outside in the hot sun in no discernible line for an hour and 45 minutes, with no information aside from the instruction to just wait when I called to confirm I didnt need to go inside to register, the front desk person appeared and told 8 people to come in to the waiting room. I appreciate that we are in unprecedented times, but in no other instance have I heard of testing facilities having likely COVID-positive people crowd into a room together to wait for extended periods of time. In this case it was an additional hour and a half. The receptionist called each person up individually to complete paperwork and then manually keypunched the information in to the system. I do not envy her her job, but HOW is there not a better way to make this more efficient. Register people over the phone in advance; have a different process or line for COVID testing; have people schedule appointments so theyre not waiting indefinitely with no updates....anything. During this waiting time, people were coming in and out of the waiting room asking for information and where they should be waiting. Its July. This pandemic has been raging for months. Youd think there could be a bit more information for people about the testing process.The receptionist was nice, and thanked people for their patience, and when I finally went in the tech and doctor were efficient and professional, which is the reason for the 2 stars.However, its now been over a week since the test, and I have no results and no indication of when I should expect them. At the time of the test, both the receptionist and the doctor assured me the results had been coming within 3 days. Ive registered for the online portal, filed several inquiry forms with LabCorp, and called AFC Urgent care multiple times to try to get an update on when I should expect results, or to at the very least confirm that my samples made it to the lab. They seem to be not answering their phones anymore. I understand that places are swamped right now, but there is no updated information to indicate that the results are taking longer than 7 days. Both AFC Urgent Care and the LabCorp website both say results in 4-6 days. Update the expected wait time and you might be less inundated with calls from concerned patients. Or confirm that tests have at least gotten to the lab.In general, PLEASE change your processes. I feel like I need to get tested again to ensure I didnt get the virus while sitting in the waiting room with 8 other potential COVID patients and the woman at the front desk who casually removed her mask for extended periods of time. Ive never felt more uncomfortable at a doctors office, or more frustrated trying to get any information after the fact.

If you need a COVID test for travel, just go here. The level of customer service is beyond any urgent care I have ever been to. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need to be comfortable and have peace of mind for your trip. They are well educated and informed and can answer your questions. Im seriously just so impressed by AFC Urgent Care Garden City.

I’ve never had such a smooth experience at an Urgent Care. From reception to follow up, everyone was professional and personable. The office was clean, staff wore proper PPEs, and CDC recommendations for COVID-19 were very well implemented. I’m so appreciative to everyone who made my unexpected trip to the doctor safe and positive. P.S. - Thank you Mareesa for answering all my questions and taking the time to send medical clearance to my employer!

Loooooooooooooong wait!! Staff seemed green as well. Plan to bring a book, sleeping bag, and a picnic meal if you go here.***Update from last review! We had to return again for another round of tests and had a way different experience. Thanks so much for the reply to my review, and I am sure time of day, etc. plays a role. Staff was friendly, wait time much less, and the doc came in right away instead of having to wait two hours to see a provider. Thanks for the excellent customer service.

Well organized, professional, and clean. I really appreciated Katies ability to navigate the nasal cavity, I barely felt my specimen being collected.

Ill start by stating that I have a huge phobia of hospitals. I cant even believe Im leaving a 5 star review but I want to share my experience because its so rare that I receive good customer service these days. As soon as we walked in we were acknowledged and also reminded of the social distancing policy. ALL of the staff made a peaceful atmosphere. Keep up the fabulousness ladies! Its much appreciated.

They told me if I was there by 7:10 they’d give me a Covid test. I drove 80, not even going to lie, and got there( it should have taken me an hour and a half, it took me 49 min) I got there at 7:10 on the dot. They said they couldn’t see me.I called first. I called before I drove an hour at night, with deer and risk of being pulled over so I could know if I were safe to be around my immune compromised mother. Unreal the lack of compassion.

Went in for COVID testing and all went well! I was a little worried as it was my first time getting the test done but all the staff eased my worries. I still feel like there’s a swab in my nose LOL. Charles drew my blood for antibodies and lemme tell you, he’s a hoot!! It’s always nice being able to crack jokes, especially in this crazy year. Thank you everyone at AFC! Stay safe!

Even with an appointment, I didnt get back to see anyone for my rapid test for over an hr after my appointment time. They treat this like a full appointment even with just a retest. I also thought it was interesting that they decided that they needed to swab for strep and flu as well as covid even though I had a pos covid test just 5 daysAppointment time 10:50Walked out with results at 12:36It was never explained at any time that there was anyone getting ready to be transported. I was told well, we got a bit backed up back there. This was after I had enquired about the delay in my appointment at the one hour mark. At the 40 min mark, I was just told that they would check to see how many people we ahead of me, but that didnt happen.I understand that you are busy, but my time is also valuable. Your lack of appropriate communication is unacceptable.

I brought my 2.5 year old toddler and 1 year old son to get a Moderna covid vaccination today. The medical assistant did a fine job with the 2.5 year olds vaccine but completely botched the 1 year olds and most of the vaccine ended up sprayed all over his leg. We had no idea how much he got and she left in a rush to speak to her manager and we never saw her again. The manager, who is an LPN, said it was because my 1 year moved during the vaccination, which was not true, and was unapologetic that he would now not be able to be fully vaccinated. She told me that it was really the second shot that mattered. He has already gotten a partial dose that looked like barely any and now could not get another. After 2.5 years of waiting for my children to be vaccinated, now knowing that my 1 year old cant be fully vaccinated and is not going to be protected made me so exhausted and sad. No one apologized, no one explained what I could do about the situation or even really seems to understand much about the vaccine at all and no one even told me when to come back for the next shot. I had to call our pediatrician to find out accurate trustworthy information. I would not trust mine or my childrens care to this facility ever again.

I wish I didnt even have to give this facility a 1 star. My grandchildren came here to receive a simple vaccination shot and the medical tech completely botched the job . After waiting 30 minutes in the reception area, even though there were no other patients in the building being seen, we were finally shown to an exam room. When the medical tech went to vaccinate my grandson who held as still as a statue the serum being injected trickled down his leg so that we have no idea if he got any of the medicine or not. When her supervisor, an LPN,,came to talk to us there was no apology. Just some made up story that the first shot doesnt really count. She might want to consult an epidemiologist or the CDC who would probably disagree with her. The director of the facility, probably fearing a lawsuit, called my daughter that evening and told her that he didnt even think children really needed to be vaccinated. WOW the unprofessionalism of this facility is mind blowing. Take my advice and DO NOT TAKE ANYONE YOU CARE ABOUT TO THIS FACILITY.

Went in to get tested earlier this week. I had my blood drawn to test for the COVID antibodies and almost passed out. Instead of reinserting the needle, she dug around in my arm looking for the vein. The first time she tried on my left arm and couldn’t find the vein. I’m giving 2 stars because they were very nice but this was a horrible experience. My arm has been in pain since Wednesday and the bruising keeps spreading. Not impressed with how this was handled. I had to ask her to get me water and let me sit by the sink because I really thought I was going to pass out. Probably won’t be back but I appreciate how nice everyone was.

Started at 11:22 am to be tested it is now 3:44 pm, it should not take over 4 hours for 3 people to be tested that took 7-min to perform. After giving our info and was told an hour wait, so we waited. An hour and half goes by I have to ask when will we be seen and was told another hour wait on top of the hour and half already due to a family of five came in before us. They had since March to make a working standard operation process (SOP) to handle larger family walk ups. They could provide really time follow up for being seen via text since they ask for our mobile number to call us when ready and that their lobby would only allow 6 people at a time. Yet as the customer/patient and that my insurance will pay them for this service that is lacking communication for this testing site. We are busy all of us, so being proactive in your professional carrier especially customer service facing with individuals & familys TIME they are providing you and paying you money for your services to live. The need to communicate with people especially if out of your control time line double yet quadrupled. How unprofessional.

BEWARE!My wife took my daughter who had been exposed at school to Covid. She had zero symptoms, but wanted to be safe. My wife was told that my daughter couldn’t be tested unless my wife was tested as well because she’s a minor. Huh? My wife is fully vaccinated and again, neither of them were experiencing any symptoms. On top of this they also required testing for strep and influenza. This is 100% unnecessary testing and in my opinion fraudulent insurance billing. When my wife asked to see the written policy, they said they didn’t have one. I’m not surprised, since it is ridiculous.There are several other comments on here reporting the same. Fortunately they left without receiving care, so I won’t be receiving a surprise bill of $500 or more as other have reported. It’s obvious this place is more concerned about making a buck off the pandemic, rather than providing the necessary care. I will be reporting this to the Idaho Department of Insurance and Attorney General.STAY AWAY!

Went in to get the rapid Covid test at 10:30 am and was told that somebody would call me by the end of the day. Also told me that I would receive an email with labcorp information on it. I never heard from them via phone or email. After two days of trying to get in contact with them I was informed they are just too busy to call all the people getting tested. Then was told they had the wrong email and was not able to get me the sign in and information. I ended up having to take more time off to go in and get my printed results. Not the best experience. I am understand it is a crazy time for us all. Proper communication definitely goes a long way.

One of the worst healthcare experiences I’ve ever had. I went only to get a COVID test but ended up receiving multiple tests I wasn’t aware of like a strep throat test and flu test. I waited about an hour in a small waiting room with other patients waiting for their COVID tests and could hear many say they think they’re positive but there was hardly any 6 ft distancing. The front desk nurse took my insurance card but never told me my insurance wouldn’t cover the cost of the visit. In total sitting in that waiting room for an hour and speaking with the doctor for 5 min ended up totaling over $700. I just wanted the covid test which is covered by the CARES Act. I didn’t want flu tests and strep throat tests and now I’m stuck with a huge bill. I would not recommended going here for a COVID test.

I arrived yesterday 6/24 at 10:30 am. The line was long to do covid testing. Was told by one VERY cheerful and fully PPE’d employee that once in the board we could leave to get a drink or something as the line was about an hour wait. A short time later another employee came out, again fully clothed in PPE, took my information and suggested we not leave as the line was moving pretty quickly. Unfortunately there was a hiccup with another patient and we were outside for a bit longer than an hour wait. Total I spent 3 hours here, while it would’ve been nice to have some sort of shade if you’re having to wait in line outside the staff was friendly, covered, brought out water and once you were in a room the swabs went quick, doc listened to you, got your blood drawn and out the door you went.If you’re gonna come here for testing....expect a wait, bring water and maybe even a chair, you can sit in your car with the AC if you’re paying attn to your spot in line and how quick the line is going. If you lose your spot they do the best to get you in ASAP but they are busy and can not babysit the lines. Be courteous and respectful, they’re doing a great job!

Bad Covid safety - does it make sense to have people who are testing for Covid and are potentially positive to come inside the waiting room to check in? After calling to see how I could get a test and being told to come in any time between business hours, I arrived and was told that they had shut down Covid testing for 2 hours and that I would have to wait in a line outside for two hours otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get one because they were limiting the # of people for the day and it would fill up. I was not able to wait two hours outside, I went next door to Cole and got a test immediately. Luckily I tested negative - but if a person were positive and sick, having them wait for two hours in the cold also doesn’t seem like a good idea.

I am grateful this location allowed us to have a rapid covid test done on short notice however it was not a good experience. The staff swabbed my husband and I both for flu and strep as well without asking if we wanted that done. We had no symptoms and did not want those tests done and certainly do not want to pay for them. My husbands covid test was indeterminate so instead of redoing it, they made him return the next day for another covid test, and made him test for flu and strep again even though he asked not to, and have another provider visit. Felt like an attempt to bill us for as many things as possible

We went for COVID testing for a trip to Hawaii. Everyone was super nice there, however, very concerned about testing specifically their instant testing for COVID to receive the State of Hawaii form to be allowed to fly. The process is to take a nasal swab for the instant one and an additional swab they send to a lab for testing plus they do other swabs that we didnt need.Family of 4 results.- Both adult parents negative on the instant, negative on the lab results- daughter - positive on the instant, negative on the lab. Went back 24 hours later positive on the instant waiting on her second lab and shes going to Walgreens for a test as I type.- son (he had COVID and all clear end of February) - Tested positive on the instant, negative on the lab. Given that we sent him to Walgreens next day Negative and we did a Saliva test through Costco same day and shipped it out Negative also.Unfortunately cancelled all reservations and were not going now but highly concerned that their instant read is not working correctly at this facility. Makes ZERO sense why lab is negative and all other test negative but their quick test is positive. Ill update as we get final result for our daughter.Update - Daughter tested negative at Walgreens now as well.Ive updated my review from 1 to 5. I dont believe this is an AFC issue but rather a COVID testing and potentially vaccinated individuals. Not saying not to get vaccinated as I think we should but I believe their instant test is potentially picking up on something.Did call the Regional Manager (got her name and number from another review) and had a GREAT call with her and explained the situation and concern I had. I dont blame AFC for what happened but believe were dealing with science that is evolving right now .

I don’t know why this place is called urgent care when there’s nothing urgent about it. Went here to get a COVID test and was told to wait in my car. I waited for an hour and no call.Went inside and sat for 20 min before one of the nurses asked my name. Finally I got back there and was forgotten about twice and had to physically leave my room to get someone’s attention. I was there for 2.5 hours to get a simple covid test.Had to come back the next day and was met with 2 hour waiting times.Place is BS. Just pay for the test elsewhere.

Review №94

Do NOT go here for covid testing. Im a physician assistant and I was very disappointed with many aspects of our time at AFC. First, we were told that we could get covid testing results in 15 minutes. We waited several hours to get our rapid results (not 15 minutes) and they were both falsely negative. Furthermore, they do not tell you until you are in an exam room that their protocol for covid testing means they also make you get tested for influenza A/B and strep even though I made it clear I did not want these tests done. Most importantly, the MA did the covid swab incorrectly (the swab should be left in your nose for at least 10 seconds, she left it in for 2 seconds) which resulted in a falsely negative PCR test. I got tested at St. Lukes the next day (they did the swab correctly) which was positive (AND I got my result the next morning). I waited 5 days to get my falsely negative test from AFC (and had to create an account online to get the result as any attempts to call AFC went to voicemail).After the MA did the tests she told us that a provider was going to come in and see us (we did not want or require an office visit), the office visit consisted of the provider asking which symptoms we had and then handing us a piece of paper telling us how to get our results on an online health portal. The provider told us that a negative result from the rapid test is unreliable but a positive result is usually correct but only because I asked. This should be one of the most important things to counsel people on as many can feel reassured by a negative result.If you want to get tested properly and avoid being cornered into getting an office visit and 2 extra tests AND you want some counseling on the tests you are getting I suggest you call St. Lukes or St. Alphonsus and they will direct you where you can get tested (many times from your car).

I am giving two stars, not one, because my previous visit here went fine. AFC now does not accept Blue Cross of Idaho, so your Covid test will not be free, it will cost $70 (but they wont tell you that until AFTER you wait in their huge line). These people are clearly overloaded for Covid testing. I arrived at 4:10 PM and they were already cutting the line off for the night. They said that people get there at 6 to wait for their 8 AM opening time. I waited over an hour and a half outdoors in the cold just to get checked in (there is a secondary wait afterward) and find out that my insurance wouldnt work. Beware!Update (in response to your reply):Neither the high volume of patients nor Blue Crosss decision to put you out of network is your fault. However, how you handle the problem is absolutely your responsibility. If theres a big line forming, make a sign up sheet for the door and tell people to be back by a certain time. If theyre not there by the second time you call their name, they miss their chance. Then send them back to wait in their car or at home. Restaurants figured this out years ago; now its your turn. It is not acceptable to have sick people standing on the sidewalk in below freezing temperatures for 1.5-2 hours. As far as Blue Cross goes, your website needs to reflect that there is a $70 co-pay for people with Blue Cross insurance. As it stands, the website just says it will be free with insurance, which is misleading. As a bonus, if the people with Blue Cross avoid your clinic, it will help solve your overcrowding problem. When your website is updated to reflect reality, I will happily take down my bad review.

Myself and two coworkers went in for Covid tests after another coworker got sick with Corona. None of us had symptoms, it was just a mandatory test. The doctor that administered the tests suggested casually that we also get tested for flu and strep at the same time just in case, even though none of us felt sick at all. This resulted in $500 worth of charges to each of us for services that in hindsight were not necessary. I feel like the clinic was taking advantage of the situation to make extra money.

COVID TESTING WARNING: Both me and my husband have tried on different days to get tested here without success. Apparently they cut off testing at 4 p.m. and have a limit of 25 tests per day or something like that. I dont completely understand the limitations because I have never been able to speak with anyone at the facility (when you call it goes to a full vm inbox). All my information was conveyed to me by a patient waiting in a long line outside. Just be warned before driving to this location that it isnt as easy as the website promotes.My suggestion would be that they update their website with relevant information. Easy change to improve customer experience.

Came in a couple weeks ago with a broken foot. Patients getting tested for Covid had to sit outside, which was nice for myself as I had to wait in the waiting room for over 4 hours to be seen, and an additional hour to get x-rays. I was very understanding due to Covid. Totally get it. However, the older lady behind the desk was not wearing a mask at first when I came in, but later put one on. The staff seemed overworked. After receiving a cast and crutches, I was not given any exercises or instruction for referrals (I thought I would have to reach out to the clinic they sent my info to as I’ve never had a referral). Some of the staff seemed very positive and helpful. Turns out my referral hasn’t called me even though Urgent Care faxed my info two weeks ago. Hence my confusion on the referral process.I tried calling in around 8 times to follow up and it went to voicemail. I finally left my name and number and did not receive a call within 3 days, so I physically went in.Potential Covid patients, it seems, are now allowed to wait in the waiting room. And no, there is not enough room to sit 6 feet away from others (not their fault). The lady behind the desk, once again, was not wearing a mask. Even though the sign on the door says “masks required”. Which I find interesting. I asked if they could send me my x-rays (as I have a degree specializing in human osteology) and she said they don’t do that. Mmk, fine. I let it go. Anyway, sitting in the parking lot writing this, a lot of the issues are most likely due to Covid testing, but felt it was necessary to point out that this one lady at the front desk doesn’t seem to follow mask protocol. However, I will say that all other staff seemed to adhere to appropriate PPE. Also, pretty sure as a patient, As I paid for my x-rays, I have rights to them. And it’s possible she meant they couldn’t be emailed, which is fine, but she also didn’t explain how I can get access to them. I’m hoping to put in a formal request for my records.Good luck!EDIT: I called Deborah, left a message and she called me back. She was very pleasant and assured me that the mask issue has been addressed and that I will receive my records soon. She seemed to really understand the health and safety issue and felt strongly about addressing it. For this, I am adding a star to my review.

IF YOU ARE TRAVELING, DO NOT GO HERE FOR COVID TESTING!!!!If I could give a lower rating, I would. Started off with not having my appointment on their calendar when I had an email confirmation of it. I need screening for Hawaii travel (Hawaii only accept a NAAT test from preferred partners) I ended up waiting 2.5 hours. Then, as I was not sick, I was willing to pay cash for my test. But, I was told that I had to have 3 other tests and an exam from their Doctor, who was not a Doctor but a nurse. When I asked why, I was told not to worry, its free as my insurance covered it. This is called insurance fraud and absolutely not free!!! The MA who performed my test wore the same gloves in and out of my room and then pretended to use hand sanitizer on top of them before performing my test. Additionally, they are not separating sick patients from those who seek travel screening and their volumes are so high and they dont label their specimens, it is not surprising that their tests are contaminated and that they actually loose samples! The biggest most frustrating waste of time and resources, not to mention we didnt test results back in time to go on our vacation!!

I went in on Sunday to get tested for covid, my nurse had a mask that was so loose that it fell off of her face 4 or 5 times while she was talking to me. She was chewing gum. Her hair was pulled back, but it was so long that when she bent over to search for the covid swabs it was inches away from touching the tip of the unwrapped strep swab test she was holding. If I didnt have covid then, I wouldnt be surprised if she infected me or if the test comes back positive from exposure to her.Everything else went great! Service was fast, everyone was polite. But the most important thing is that the environment is sterile, which it did not seem to be.

The gal who did my covid swab left the room after taking my blood pressure, came back with an opened Qtip, swabbed me, and left the room with the Qtip in her hand, with no proper sealer or containment. She did not open in front of me. They have failed to call with test results. To include my one positive covid test. They do not return calls or answer the phone.

Was there 2/8/2020. Im 65 years old and never had a better experience visiting a doctor! Though a PA (Physician Assistant), she was thorough, thoughtful, able to ask related questions about my past health history, listen, examine my body thoroughly and, after receiving my approval, went thru the trouble of scheduling a CT Scan for me with St. Lukes on the same day. And received the results and called me with it within hours! And if thats not good enough, she called 4 days later just to make sure all is well with me! Now, how many times has your physician called you several days later to see how youre doing? Did I mention that she also prescribed antibiotics for my cold related lung infection without me having to beg for it? Ive already told my friends and colleagues about her. Please dont let her go!

DO NOT GO FOR HERE COVID TESTING!! Dont let the nice message on their recording about how easy it is to get Covid testing fool you. The message states no appointment needed, but when I showed up in their parking lot they told me I could not register for a test at that time (11AM) because they were busy. I went back at 2PM as requested, waited in line for 45 min with other potential covid patients, and then was told it would be 2 hours until I could be tested. The receptionist even suggested I go run errands! Crazy, given I had symptoms. Anyway, around 4:30 I was finally swabbed for the rapid test and the regular lab test. I spent 30 minutes inside their clinic with other potential covid patients and with nurses wearing non-protective face coverings. It has been 21 hours since my test and no rapid results yet. After months of covid testing, I assume they would have their processes dialed in, but no. Save yourself some time and go somewhere professional.UPDATE 5:35PM. As the owner response states, the clinic did leave a voicemail at 2:21 PM today (the day after my rapid test). The voicemail did not contain my results, which may be due to HIPPA. They left vague instructions to a portal named HEALOW which I am unable to log into. I have called the clinic 8-10 times since and only get their voicemail. Answering the phones seems like a practical aspect of running a business.

Although the staff were very friendly I would not depend on AFC for a rapid COVID test. I was told false positive was highly unlikely. Within days of each other, three of five members of my family received false positive rapid test results, while all PCR results were negative at this location. We all had to initiate quarantine as a result of the positives. We missed work. Kids missed school. It was a big headache.

The care here is amazing, usually. In fact, I go here specifically for Sana Kasumovic, PA-C. She is incredible. By far, the best PA in Boise. My only complaint is that they advertise rapid covid tests, results in under 15 minutes. Yet, after several hours, I still have yet to receive my results. Now they are saying it wont be until tomorrow. Not only has that put my entire life on hold, but the lives of everyone else around me. I need to know if I have exposed anyone, so they arent out exposing many other people. Thats the point of the rapid tests. Not to mention the anxiety. They need to stop advertising test results in under 15 mins. Had I known this, I would have gone elsewhere, because it is impairative that I get the results tonight.

If you’re not here for covid testing, beware. The “drive up covid testing” looks like this: you arrive and call the number. They tell you to walk into the facility and get in line with all the other guests at the check in area. They have you fill out paperwork in the waiting area near all the other guests. You give back the paperwork and wait in your car. They come to your car and have you follow them to the waiting room (around all the other guests). Then take you back to a room to be tested. We’ve been here for an hour and a half at this point and been near MANY other people in the lobby and waiting room. If we don’t have covid now we’ve been exposed along with everyone else

Dont go to AFC for testing just because it is the quick Covid test . You end up there for 3-4 hours. To find out they want to give you additional tests that you dont need. May be free to you but not your insurance company. Not only that you are exposed to everyone who may have Covid because you have to stand in long lines, wait in a waiting room, and then in an exam room. They dont answer the phones and the say they are open to 8, But you find out after standing in line that only 20 people can come so then you try their next time which is 12, But they dont tell you this information on the recording about Covid. I ended up leaving with no covid-19 test because I wouldnt take the other tests that they try to force on you.

As a requirement from my work, I went to get tested for COVID on Monday, July 6 around 3:00 in the afternoon. Went in and there was not a front desk person. I waited. The front desk person finally came out, and as there were more than 6 people in the waiting room, she told me to wait outside and would step outside and ask for the next 6 people. How did I know what number I was? Oh well, went to car and waited 2 hours, nothing. Several of us sat in our cars out front and eventually she stepped outside and yelled, Next 6 people can come in. I waited some more and finally went home.Next morning, got there at 7:45, place opens at 8:00, there were already people in waiting room. Same woman was running counter, I was told to have a seat and remember who I was behind. How do I know who I was behind when I just got there? Anyway I had a seat. Next person came in she told them the same thing, I said youre behind me. Finally it was my turn to go up and register, she couldnt get my insurance to run, I said thats OK Ill just pay for it. She said, No, we get reimbursed by the government.I think it was around 9-9:30 that I finally went back to a room. The woman who took care of me was nice, she checked my blood pressure, checked my temperature, took some blood (I asked for antibody testing) and then the nose swab.Anyway, I left, went home and registered on the lab Corp website as was suggested by the doctor after he came and checked me over. Got results of a negative flu and a negative strep. On the 9th I got a negative test on the antibodies.The 10th, Friday, looked online and results saw test on website for COVID, result was Detected. What the heck does Detected mean? How about a positive or a negative response? So I called them to clarify, and left a message.Today, Saturday the 11th, I got a message on my phone from AFC Urgent Care requesting I give them a call, it was urgent, they had my results. I called the number they left me, and it was answered by an answering machine. It went on and on and on, finally I got to press one to speak to somebody but no, I got another answering machine. Left a message, still have not heard from anyone and it is now 7:30, they close at 5:00.My suggestions are: they need more help. If AFC Urgent Care is getting funding from the government, as I believe they are, they should be able to afford better organization. Maybe put a number on each registration, so people know where they stand., (I put my number on it, so i could remember). One more thought, how about a separate phone number for those that are to call back because it is urgent.

The two ladies working were not able to figure out how to bill my insurance (Cigna) and I ended up paying out of pocket. They proceeded to give me a receipt for my out of pocket payment with no code description or charges details for me to file a claim myself. After 2 calls to them during regular business hours nobody has picked up the phone.

I understand they are having a long list of people coming in and getting tested but I’m really confused on why no one answers the phone. I have called several times in the past 3 days and left multiple messages and I only got a call back once but not with my complete test results. They told me they would be posted by tomorrow but there is nothing on the patient portal. I wish someone would just answer the phone because I do not want to have to go back to the urgent care and risk exposure.

What a Mickey Mouse facility… You’re better off getting treated by the street person under the bridge in Boise… I go in with a Workmen’s Comp. claim and no one can figure out who I am or what I’m about the waiting room is about the size of a kitchen, Jammed packed with people looking to do who knows what… I tell her here’s my phone number I want to wait outside...she tells me I can’t wait outside and she’s not gonna take my phone number... The effing room is packed with people in the middle of a pandemic and I can’t wait outside… That street person‘s name is Jimmy. he’s got a first aid kit. use him

I could overhear three women at the back desk talking about covid test results for patients. I actually remember one of patients names but unlike the pros here I wont share it publicly. Massive HIPAA violation. A manager called me back and tried to blame it on the PA there, but her story was off because the info they broadcasted was on the phone not person to person as she claimed. Theyre probably making some decent revenue from the covid crisis, but they really need to abide by HIPAA. I walked out without a test, (hopefully St. Lukes can take me today) and really regret sharing any of my medical information with them. Not professional.

This clinic is great for covid, strep, and flu testing, but that is about it. I came in with stomach pain and was told “we don’t do that here.” The doctor didn’t do a blood test, urine test, X-ray or anything else to even attempt to diagnose me, just told me to go to the hospital, so much for “urgent care.”

Denied of a Covid test because I’m 17 even though I have a job and my work wanted me to get one, sorry but some people don’t have parents who live In the same state and can come there to assist me, any other place would have just called my guardian but this place didn’t I waiting out in the rain for a hour just to get told no. Pretty upsetting honestly I could be walking around with Covid and spreading it to everyone now. Thanks for no service!

Went in for simple diagnostic & antibiotic. Got flu, strep, and COVID-19 testing per their SOP (SOP>$250) before medical care. Had to accept to SOP to see physician.... though SOP didn’t provide results for >week. SOP for revenue stream only.Saw Dr for less than 15 minutes to have my diagnosis confirmed and get antibiotic prescription. Total bill, $640+.No one (Nurse, Dr., lab staff) changed gloves or washed hands in my sight line. If your symptoms can wait until your regular physician can see you... WAIT. This is a shop of $ hacks!

Billed my insurance $870 for a Hawaii travel COVID test. Then forced my mother (who was not traveling) to also take and pay for the same test because she is the one who accompanied my daughter to their facility to get tested. Took 10 minutes. This is extortion. Wonder why many are struggling to get by while Dr.s have multiple homes and country club memberships. I guess you can when your rate is $1600 for 10 minutes.

My wife and I went to Hawaii 2 months ago. Hawaii requires a covid tests 3 days prior to flying into Hawaii from a list of places they approve. The options were Costco, Walgreens, and AFC urgent care. AFC was kind enough to schedule us in advance so we would have a guaranteed time slot. They also were the most likely of the three to get us our results in time for the trip. We went to our appointment 3 days prior to our trip and got tested. During our visit they said it was required to also test for influenza and strep. Now, remember, I had no symptoms or exposure and was only getting the covid test for travel. I asked to decline the strep and influenza test, but I was told that was not possible. We either had to accept the two extra tests or go somewhere else. I should have done that, but Costco was no longer an option because of time restraints and we had heard that Walgreens may not get back in time either, so it didnt really feel like I had a choice. I am now stuck with a $85.18 bill for the visit (my wife also had the same amount due for her).Now I know that not all of that is for the influenza and strep test, but the bill has $175 for influenza test and $64 for the rapid strep test. The front staff was great, but the nurse was curt and gave a bogus excuse after bogus excuse when I asked why we had to do the flu and strep test. The policy of the urgent care should be changed. There should be allowance for refusal of those tests when all I need is a covid test for travel. I will pay my bill, but want others who might be flying to Hawaii know what theyre getting into. Our friends who went through Walgreens were only tested for covid, so I would suggest going through them to avoid the unnecessary tests.

First off let me start by saying. DO NOT GO HERE this was sunday 12/ 6/20 ! I was recommended by a family friend at work. Said they were great to his wife. I went for JAW PAIN. And yes covid is going on. So I was hesitant. after a few days the pain was to much to deal with and so I went. to start.. I CALLED A TON , nobody answered NOT ONCE. Regardless I went. I showed up there was a long line down the side of the building. Understandable everyone was waiting outside. (30degrees) They came out and told us there would be a wait and handed us forms. I told them I wasnt here for a covid test but to check my jaw they said ok come right in. The waiting room was empty. They took my insurance did the paperwork and brought me back. NOBODYat THE FRONT WAS RUDE. Neither was my nurse or medical assistant. However they informed me that I am to be test for COVID, STREP AND FLU regardless of my reason for the visit. They nurse WAS NICE HOWEVER SHE DID THE COVID TEST (NOT MY FIRST RODEO) SHE WAS ROUGH! AND IT SUPPOSED TO STAY IN FOR 10 SECONDS SHE PULLED IT OUT IMMEDIATELY. (My wife is a medical assistant) I know that was not correct making me question the validity of the test. After about 10 minutes the DR came in. DR. SANDRA KASUMOVIC. She came in threw the paper on the seat. And Rudely said.. your postive to which I replied huh she said your test... didnt expect that huh ?!? (Rudely) like I lied to get in faster.. I told her no.. I dont understand she asked my how I felt and symptoms I told her o had ZERO AND FEEL GREAT BUT MY WISDOM TOOTH IS CAUSING JAW PAIN. She said yeah well covid! She proceeded to quietly stare at me acting disgusted. I told her well my jaw hurts what do I do she said I can look at it but its covid.... she check my jaw and said youll probably get a rash or SHINGLES.... Im 28 I have never had chicken pox. But how do u say jaw pain is covid or shingles.... SHE CONTINUED WITH AND ATTITUDE.. AND JUST SAID TAKE SOME IBUPROFEN... STAY HOME FOR 10 DAYS OF QUARANTINE AND CONTACT WHO EVER YOU HAD CONTACT WITH IN LAST 48 HRS SHE IPENED THE DOOR AND STOOF THERE SILENTLY WAITING FOR ME TO LEAVE. MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SCARY AWKWARD RUDE SITUATION IN MY LIFE. Now I understand having a wife in the medical field she maybe burned out and tired. However doesnt excuse the several rude comments and an irrational diagnosis. I walked out in disbelief. I just got my results... NEGATIVE.. they say u cant get a positive and then a negative... WELL IF U DONT DO UR JOB RIGHT FOLLOW PROTOCOL U CAN. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE IF I COULD NOT GIVE ANY STARS I WOULD.
