| - i'm on a contract with a nursing home. so far, i've gotten a nasty foot fungus, a cold (the first i've had in over 8 years), and most recently, a swollen, red, tender "abcess" on my arm.....all from working at this one nursing home!
none of the other stuff bothered me, but the thought of having VRE or MRSA or cellulitis or getting a wound vac on this very sore, very painful prick on my arm made me super nervous.
you can make an appointment on line....actually you reserve a time slot, but it's not necessarily an appt...you will get priority over walk-ins. admission was easy and fast and my insurance covers the visit, with a small co-pay. the lobby and treatment areas were very clean and the staff was professional.
i was seen by an actual MD, which is rare because urgent cares normally use PA's right? the doctor was courteous and very likeable and we even chit chatted about my current work facility hygiene (and lack thereof!). he prescribed me a few drugs but said to give the arm another day or so and if it was still red, go pick up the antibiotics and start taking (or he said pick them up now and start, but i'm kind of a sucker for not taking any pills).
a great place for a quick fix. open on sundays too!
