However much I love the doctors and the staff at Innovative Express Care, unfortunately I am almost always seen around 30 min to an hour after my designated appointment time. Usually it's fine - I make sure I set aside a lot of time and always make an appointment so I don't have to wait the 1-2 hour walk-in time. But today was one of those days where I actually needed immediate care when I came in. Despite my appointment at 2:45, (I arrived on time around 2:35), I wasn't seen until over TWO HOURS later. And why, you ask, was I finally seen? I got up to ask a receptionist how much longer the wait might be, and suddenly felt faint and sick to the point of having to hold on to the counter to stand. After being noticeably in pain and weak by the reception staff, I was instantaneously wheeled into an empty exam room, saw my usual doctor immediately (within 3 minutes), and I was out of there in about 10 minutes with a prescription for my much needed antibiotics, pain killers, and nausea medication for the infection that I had. I'm really disappointed that despite me being on time and making an appointment for urgent care, many people who were walk-ins were seen before me. To me, at least, this seems very unprofessional. If you have two to three hours to spare to wait even in the middle of the day on a weekday, then yes, this place is worth the wait because you get everything that you may possibly need covered almost completely by most insurances. But if you're really in dire need of immediate care, go to the ER. I made that mistake today, but it will definitely not happen again.
