| - Imagine this: You are sitting at your desk at work and have just finished editing a document, so you hit "Print". You get up from behind your desk, realize your foot has fallen asleep and before you realize it, you are falling to the ground because you decided to wear cute heels that day. Thankfully no one was in the hallway so you are able to quickly crawl behind your desk and writh in pain.
Yes, that scenerio actually happened to me yesterday afternoon at work...who knew working in state government was so hazardous to your health? After a night of elevating my ankle and icing it, the swelling still hadn't gone down and the pain had increased, so I decided to visit the NextCare just to make sure it wasn't broken. I filled out the check-in form online which was super convenient...I highly recommend doing this as it will save a lot of time. Within five minutes of submitting it, I received a phone call from a customer service rep asking which location I would be visiting and she also told me what documentation I needed (insurance card and photo ID).
I got there tonight and there was only one other person there. I got called back a few minutes after arriving and had my vitals taken by a very pleasant girl named Casey. The doctor who saw me (I didn't catch his name) was very nice as well and he checked my obviously swollen ankle and foot before ordering some X-rays. The tech who took my X-rays, Mark, was a very nice guy who was quick, efficient, and he apologized when he made me turn my ankle in a painful way. After the doctor confirmed my ankle wasn't broken, he gave me some instructions and sent me on my merry way.
So a $20 co-pay, 40 minutes, and a few X-rays later, I am happy to report my ankle is wrapped with hope the swelling will go down in a few days. I have to take 1 star off because there was no good people watching!!! I mean, part of the reason you go to places like NextCare is because typically you know you will see some "interesting" people. Darn you NextCare in Tempe for having a slow night with only normal people in there!! Hopefully I will have no more walking incidents, but if I were in need again, I would return to NextCare in Tempe.
