FastMed Urgent Care

Recently I had had severe abominal pains for almost 24 hours. I went to Fastmed Urgent Care and they were not fast and they did not act urgently. They opened at 9am and we were the first ones there waiting when they opened. My wife said, «at least we’ll be first!» Not so. I had to fill out paperwork and sit in the waiting room for 45 minutes while they tended to two other people (that came in while I was filling out their paperwork) before they saw me. When I finally was taken back to room to wait some more, a man came and we wasn’t even a Dr. He was a PA and he was the only one there that could see me. He did nothing and only made conjectures about what he thought it might be (he was wrong) and said I probably needed some tests but they didn’t have the means to do any there. So, all the time I spent there was for nothing. In the meantime, I’m about to literally pass out from the pain. We left and went to the Seton Hospital ER. Within 30 minutes or less after arriving I was in a room and had an IV in my arm dispensing much needed pain meds and then got the tests run that I needed.
I would never consider going to Fastmed for anything in the future. I would go to a veterinarian before I would go here again. Do not waste your time here.

I took my son to this clinic on Friday for a knee injury. My pediatrician does not have X-​rays available in her office and my insurance copay for the Er is outrageous. I have to say, from beginning to end my experience was excellent. The front desk was able to check me in and verify my insurance in a matter of minutes. My son was already placed in a room before I had even finished signing all the paperwork. The provider promptly met with us, evaluated my son and sent him off to have X-​rays done. While my son was having X-​rays the provider explained to me what he thought was going on but needed the X-​rays to be certain. When my son returned the provider immediately came back and showed me the X-​rays. I was in and out in no time. And less than half the cost of an Er visit.
