| - Arrived 10 minutes after opening. Easy access and easy parking in a private lot. South-east corner of Southern @ Higley.
Saw the reg person who wanted an insurance card and photo ID, I said I would pay cash (they accept credit card or cash only) and had no photo ID (lost it as best buy months ago but I only need it maybe once a year).
Saw the "provider" as they called him. Not sure why they try to hide the fact that you're not seeing a doctor. He was a PA. Either way I knew what I needed and what was wrong, all I needed was the scripts. Of course you can't do that if you want controlled meds, which I don't use.
Everything he said was correct, his judgement was accurate. I was pleased with the quality of the PA. Then the 2nd nice feature was they had the meds I needed, in stock, for sale at the registration desk on my way out. This saved me from dealing with the pharmacy and is a good profit source for the business. This won't always be the case for you.
Time from check-in to driving out the parking lot was about 90 minutes, which was somewhat long but not unreasonable. There were two people ahead of me, but they just opened. It seemed nobody working here was in a hurry either.
Inside, the building is painted and decorated to be kid appealing. It cost $125 just to be seen, paid in advance. Then I paid $30 on the way out the door for two simple generic meds.
If I could sum up my visit in three words they would be: professional but slow.
In all honesty, the perception of the passage of time is oddly slowed in the healthcare setting. Ten minutes waiting on a padded bench always feels like one hour to the patient and family. Before you go to any Urgent Care please check ahead of time to see if what you want to be seen for is something they can handle.
