PlushCare Urgent Care

I am so thankful for a place like this that practices telemedicine when you don’t feel like going to wait in a room full of sickies for who knows how long, or just don’t feel well enough to leave your house. You make an appt online, the doctor called me as scheduled, asked the appropriate questions and was able to diagnose over the phone, called in prescriptions and done! The only drawback is that i have this nasty cough that is keeping me up at night and was hoping to get some of the good cough medicine that could just knock me out but they aren’t allowed to prescribe narcotics thru telemedicine. But besides that, the doctor gave me other options that will hopefully do the trick. Highly recommended! :)

When you find a good back up for those who dont have insurance value them. This place provides awesome service and has doctors who show interest. They attend you fast and they are open pretty late so those parents who cant get off to early can still take their kids or themselves.
Great prices, and great service. My go to place for when I need a prescription without paying thousands at another huge hospital.

This is a pretty great service. They deal with minor issues which is great, so much better than having to go into a Urgent Care center or wait for an appointment. I spoke to Dr. Sarbani Bhaduri who was nice and asked the right questions. Easy peasy. Two thumbs up.

I had a great experience with Plushcare. Dr. Marks was professional, efficient and informative. He asked important questions and was not in a rush «to move on to the next». I’ve been out of town and unfamiliar with my area. This was extremely convenient and comfortable. Highly recommended and hopefully you get to deal with Dr. Marks!

I would give it 5 stars but I have one issue… but let’s start with the positives:
Pros
Really nice doctors who speak english.
Easy to use website and choice of phone or video chat.
Great price to visit a doctor for something basic in the US.
Con:
The doctor prescribed me very expensive antibiotics which were $ 75 for a chest infection. I told her I did not have insurance and I also clicked on ‘no insurance’ when I signed up, this is usually meant to alert doctors to the fact that they need to prescribe cheaper options.
All up my visit cost me $ 69 for the doctor + $ 75 for the medicine = $ 144… which to me, for a basic illness is too much.
Next time I know to insist on the cheapest antibiotic that will achieve the same results.

Like others here, I was skeptical at first about calling plushcare. Sounded too good to be true, honestly. I took a chance, and am so glad I did. I am 100% completely satisfied in my decision and will absolutely be using this service again for easy doctor calls like UTIs and throat infections. This was cheaper, more effective, and I didn’t spend all day waiting in a clinic.
Dr. Shiota was professional, kind, and handled my concerns with a friendly demeanor. Within fifteen minutes I had a Rx to my local pharmacy. Finally, there’s a health care service for the uninsured that isn’t a completely overpriced runaround. Bravo!

I use to love this service until they got GREEDY. I use to pay 45.00 now its gone up to 69.00 no longer cost effective. Shame on them, every time I look its gone up again. They spend at most 10 minutes with you. Although I was happy with my «appointment» is a shame they couldn’t keep it affordable. My urgent care co-​pay is 10.00, I can’t justify this anymore. I no longer recommend them to people and I’m a health clerk at an elementary school which use to be a great little gem to share with my parents especially for pink eye. They lost me as a customer and the many I would have referred to them. Disappointed!

We used this service today and loved it. It’s easy and efficient. The cool thing is if you refer someone any time you get a discount each time.

I was a bit skeptical about a virtual doctor’s appointment, but PlushCare served my needs! This service is great for easily self-​diagnosed things like UTIs, pink eye, etc.
My doctor was Dr. George Rudy and he was very kind. Asked many questions without rushing me. He asked both about my medical history and my current complaint and gave me advice about how to take my prescription, what to do if it was really bothersome, etc. PlushCare also sent a discount option with my Rx, I’m a college student so that is hugely appreciated.
I’m in California on a trip, so PlushCare was a great option! I didn’t need an über, didn’t need to wait around. I’m still in my pajamas! I hope PlushCare expands to more states!

I was on vacation in San Francisco when I came down with strep and was able to get treated by phone and get some antibiotics the same day. Luckily I stumbled on PlushCare or my entire vacation would’ve been ruined! I’m so thankful!

I agree with a previous reviewer that I wish there were more than 5 stars. This was my best healthcare experience ever. I discovered Plushcare by searching for Walk-​In clinics. Within 20 minutes of thinking «I should see a doctor» I was speaking with one of Plush care’s physicians, who was able to call in a prescription to my nearest pharmacy. So fast, accessible, and high quality. I would give them my highest possible recommendation.

PlushCare saved me. I have been dealing with the Fed Gov’t trying to get insurance thru Fed Empl Health Benefits. It has taken months and still no insurance. Then… I got an infection & could not wait. PlushCare was quick, easy, efficient, & reasonably priced. Got a prescription for antibiotics sent to the a local Safeway pharmacy & was feeling better in under 24 hrs. Great idea for a health care option.

Finally a healthcare service that caters to the patient! I’m about a half a year late writing this review, but I often think about what awesome care I got using PlushCare, so I figured I at least owe this amazing service a review.
I just happened to be on vacation in San Francisco a few months ago when I was hit with a sudden infection. Great, now I have to find a local doctor, read reviews, catch a cab to get there, wait in a waiting room, get a prescription, then get a cab to a pharmacy and wait for the prescription to be filled.
Enter: PlushCare. Just happened to stumble upon it through a Google search. It just happened to be ONLY in SF at the time. How lucky, right?! I called the line and set up a time to speak with a doctor. Doctor called me back within a reasonable amount of time. I described my symptoms, he called in a prescription at the local CVS and I had it within an hour.
This is the way healthcare should be for those minor afflictions that you can diagnose yourself.

I’ve had a Unilocal account for a long time but didn’t ever feel the need to review anything until I tried PlushCare. I was in LA for vacation and needed to get medical care. I searched for an urgent care and came across PlushCare. It seemed too good to be true but then saw my friends on Facebook had liked the company so gave it a try. So glad I did! Dr. Bhaduri was so personable and knowledgeable, and she diagnosed me within 10min of chatting and I had my prescription in hand within an hour of booking the appointment. Thank you so much PlushCare and Dr Bhaduri for letting me enjoy the rest of my vacation!!!

Love this service! Obviously not appropriate for every medical issue (since its virtual) but for pretty clearly diagnosable issues, what an awesome concept! Highly recommended.

Using PlushCare to get a prescription over the phone for something that I was able to self-​diagnose was a great relief. When I called my primary doctor and they said it would be a week before I could get in, I ran across PlushCare on Google Adwords — and thank goodness I did! A doctor called me at the scheduled time (after I got off of work) and talked to me about what was going on. He put in my script and I stopped by the pharmacy and picked up my meds 30 minutes later. It was extremely convenient; I loved this service.

I think this should be the next generation with medical care, being able to talk to doctors on the phone and having video chats to resolve an urgent issue instead of having to drive to a doctors office. the only improvement I suggest would be to accept medical insurances. the flat fee is reasonable for now and also good for people who doesn’t have insurance, but if we can just pay co-​pay for doctor phone calls, I am all for that.

Now this is my kind of expedited, no-​fuss service. I thought this urgent care had a physical location but when I called, I was informed that all I had to do was go online and book a video appointment with my choice of doctor from the list provided. There were plenty of appointments to choose from that were on that day so I was able to video chat with a very pleasant doctor later that day. From my own home.
No more waiting rooms! No more having to take a half day from work to go to a hospital. No more having to schedule appointments way in advance. Of course, if you have an issue that’s requires hands-​on service like stitching or what-​not, this is not the right service.

This service is amazing!!! I spoke to a pediatrician over the phone, who diagnosed and called in a prescription at our local pharmacy. What is normally a 3 to 4 hour ordeal was taken care of in 45 minutes, with antibiotics in my hand!
The Dr. I spoke to was great! The whole process was unbelievably easy! This is really fantastic for anyone with children!

So we’re on the way home on a Sunday, and we stop to change my 2-​month old daughter’s diaper, and see she’s developed a strange rash across her chest. It’s probably no big deal, but we like to make sure, but our doctor’s office was closed. I called plush-​care, not realizing that it’s a virtual service (I thought it was a local place), but the guy at the number explained to me what they did, and how it worked, and that I could Skype with the doctor, or take pictures of the rash, and we could email or text them over, and that it was only $ 45. And I thought, what the heck, let’s try it.
Now, my wife at this point says to me, why don’t you just call the on-​call doctor for our pediatrician’s office, but I know my pediatricians won’t let us email pics or text them, and that when you talk on the weekend, there’s typically this rushed feeling like you’re interrupting their normal life (because you are) and that the conversation is rushed, and then they hop off the phone in like 4 or 5 minutes. So again, for 45 dollars, let’s see what we get.
What we got was an extremely awesome doctor who talked to us for a few minutes about her symptoms (while we were driving home) then had us text him some pics when we got home, and then talked to us for another 15 minutes about the symptoms and what was probably going on, and what we should look out for to see if anything changed. It was a really great experience, really affordable, and available on a SUNDAY. Kind of amazing. We will definitely be trying it again.
