NOT SO Urgent Care

by ohiosux

I went to Wedgewood Urgent Care last week for seeking immediate attention.

I had a flu like symptom and condition,, I was already feeling somewhat dizzy,, and couldn't even sit up.

On the form initially filled out, I explain, feverish, coughing, feeling dizzy, already. I did not get admitted inside for 20+ mins,, After nurse took me to a room and took blood pressure and temperature,, the doctor didn't come for another 30min,, which doctor's examination was only a few min to tell me I had a flu. By the time I got out,, it had been already over one hour!!

So much for the Urgent Care.

Try this place when it is not so urgent,, and you can afford to wait,, or pain and suffer.

• Pros: Were there any???
• Cons: It just took damn to long!!!

BEWARE!!!!!

I have had good experiences in the past with this place, but last week when I took my son there after a car accident (when he refused to go to the ER), and they said has may have a headache for a day or two and sent him home but would be fine. Then less than 12 hours later took him to another doctor who diagnosed him with a concussion! They (wedgewood)didn't even advise him not to drive or anything!!! They had a new doctor at Wedgewood and I was leery. If you have small cold/sore throat, they are OK, any possibility of anything serious, STAY AWAY!!!!!!

• Pros: relatively fast
• Cons: Missed diagnoses! Depends on who is there.

Should have gone to the ER

Made a trip to Urgent Care on a Thursday evening with fiance who had high fever for 3 days and kidney area pain after bout with UTI. Called ahead to suggest how sick person coming in was asking whether they thought I should take her to ER. Told me to bring her in. Was welcomed by an admissions person who could care less how sick she was, treatment staff put her on saline for an hour. Had to beg them for more direct treatment, antibiotic, an actual diagnosis. Took my fiance to ER next morning where they promptly admitted her to critical care where she remained for a painfully long 4 days. When in doubt don't go to Urgent Care in Powell.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: poorly diagnosed and treated kidney infection

More than just fast!

I have visited this center twice and both times been very pleased with the doctors with whom I had interaction. In fact, I even asked one why she was not in her own practice. Her reasons were largely logistical . . . she seemed to have everything a private practice doc would need: good listening skills, pleasant bedside manner and a thorough, knowledgeable approach.

No longer will an urgent care center be used only when no other choice exists: I will come here anytime that my regular doctor can't accommodate me!

• Pros: Quick service, pleasant physicians who listen
