DR Walk In

Excellent. Went there for yellow fever shots before a trip. Made an appointment online and only had a short wait. Cheapest price we could find ($ 150 incl. the certificate) in NYC. Professional receptionist. Shots administered by Dr. Robinson who was very thorough, and took the time to check our info and inform us about YF. Very impressed.

Everything was quick in and out, getting seen and a prescription for a bug I’m fighting. Not a great facility, basic and the place you go if you’re desperate from a timing perspective. 1 day later I get a follow up voicemail checking in. All great otherwise. But after a couple days of getting worse I call back to speak with someone.
The one star review and reason you should see a regular doctor is that after repeated calls to a national call center (you can’t reach the office directly) to try and get the doctor to call me be (their message asked me to call back with any issues) I repeatedly never heard back from anyone. 3 times i requested a call-​back and nothing after 5 DAYS. Awful customer service and different info each time I spoke to the national call person. Will never use this place again. Find a real doctor office.

Jewel and Dr Jonnie were AMAZING.
I didn’t wait long after walking in around 10:30am on a Tuesday with a UTI. Comparable to a normal doctor’s office wait when you have a scheduled appointment (15/​20min).
Incredible bedside manner, professional, took their time asking many questions, everything was spotless and clean, I even received a follow up call a few days later to see how I was feeling. I felt very taken care of, and confident that I got the care I needed.
I am seriously considering this as an option over calling my regular GP the majority of the time, and I really like my GP!
I went once before, about a year ago, same great experience then too.

Visited this locations this morning after having difficulty breathing cause of my asthma. Am visiting from out-​of-​town so was scrambling to find a place that could help me. After where my insurance was accepted online this location came up, along with all the other Dr. Walk In locations. I walked in a little after it had opened at 8:30am and after filling out the usual paper work I was checked by a nurse for the initial check-​up and seen by the doctor 5 minutes later. Was very courteous and listened to what I was feeling and gave me advice as well as new prescriptions for my asthma. Could not have gone better. Just had to pay my insurance co-​pay but thats expected at any health care center

I had an exceptionally good experience on a Friday when I was seen by Dr Bahl for help with a case of food poisoning. As it happened I didn’t have much of a wait and Dr Bahl was totally pleasant, relatable, and direct in discussing pros and cons of antibiotics for me and suggesting other, non-​prescription measures I could try.
It seems to me that for a number of reasons this walkin model for delivery of some non-​emergency medical care is a necessary new piece of the 21^st century health care system — in a way it fills in the accessible care for smaller things formerly provided by the less-​busy family doctor. I am hoping it can be provided at this level as it meets a real need.

Sore throat. Have insurance. $ 75 charge up front followed by you signing a form allowing them to charge the bill to your credit/​debit card if your insurance doesn’t pay in 30 days. Waited 50 minutes to be seen.
Joanne the receptionist should be more careful about sharing personal info — there is something called HIPAA that apparently doesn’t apply here or to her.
I don’t have strep throat. And I won’t return.

For only $ 95 if you don’t have insurance, it is relatively inexpensive. The wait is always short since most people who go just need antibiotics — it isn’t like people are showing up there with broken bones.

I stopped by today and the receptionist was very rude. When I asks if there is waiting time she said «of course «and asked me «show me your insurance» and when I was still wondering if I should I should my insurance card to this obscenely rude woman, she said «DO YOU WANNA SEE A DOCTOR OR NOT!!!» while she was openly showing the insurance cards and IDs of potential patients who were waiting.
Then I went to the 17^th & 8^th ave location and was sent home by this man receptionist who said that the clinic does not take my insurance even it was one of the accepting insurance on the website. He refused to give out his name when I asked.
DR management if you see this review, please consider the followings.
Have these receptionists to wear IDs so that we know who we’re dealing with and we should be able to report specific person if necessary.
With unemployment rate of 10%, if would expect you can get better individuals.
Consider HIPPA compliance and those untrained receptionist won’t let the ID and insurance cards to be seen by the general public.

I woke up on Saturday with a killer sore throat and a pounding headache. I powered my way through my work day and desperately looked online for a clinic that was open on the weekends so I wouldn’t have to wait til Monday to see my regular doctor. I went to the clinic on Sunday afternoon. When I arrived at 2 pm there were four people waiting and I found out that the doctor was at lunch.
Someone came in and was told the wait was about an hour and turned and left. Really? Even if I have an appointment at my regular doc sometimes I end up waiting that long before I actually see her. If you aren’t willing to wait an hour to see a doc on a SUNDAY then you probably aren’t that sick, just saying.
I saw the doc at 2:40. There is a gnarly flu, strep, and another terrible bacterial throat infection going around, I’m sure she had heard complaints from about 20 other people with similar symptoms that day alone, but her bedside manner was incredible. Usually at walk-​in clinics you are rushed in and out by doctors who don’t actually listen and are just hustling through the line. Dr Kennedy was great. She listened to my symptoms, was sympathetic, gave me a strep test, and explained her diagnosis (not strep but a similar bacterial throat infection.) She was cautious in giving me antibiotics and gave me a prescription for that unfortunate side-​effect of being a woman on amoxicillin.
She also gave me her name and told me her hours in case I had a problem I could go back to her. I walked in to Duane Reade dreading a weekend walk-​in clinic and was pleasantly surprised. The receptionist and the medical technician were also very pleasant.

When my bf woke up one morning and found he could not move one half of his face, we were both freaking out. Although he has insurance, figuring out where to go for health care was not easy. The ER seemed drastic and promised long waits and when looking for in-​network places through his insurance, we could only find specific doctors, not a general clinic.
I looked up walk-​in clinics on Unilocal and found out about DR Walk-​In (get it, Dr. Walkin, = Duane Read Walk — In… lame but clever) In any case, we go to Duane Read often enough that it seemed non-​scary. i figured even if they were a bunch of glorified sales clerks with McDegrees in medicine, we could get a referral to a «real» doctor.
In any case, they said they opened at 1 but the doctor didn’t actually get there until 1:30 or 2. However, the receptionist was very nice, it took next to no time to verify my bf’s insurance and he was given forms to fill out. The clinic area itself looked nice and clean. Odd as it was that the reception and the waiting area are open to the general Duane Read store (in the Pharmacy section, but still) at least while he filled out forms and waited I went off and got some basic toiletry shopping done.
My bf saw the doctor as soon as he came in, was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy (basically a sinus infection had damaged a nerve on his face so he couldn’t move the right side of his face until it grew back) gave him an antibiotic and some sort of steroids which we filled out right there at the pharmacy.
Overall it really was very no-​hassle and low-​wait, definitely better than going to the ER. While I wouldn’t go there for a general check up or anything more specialized, it seems a very good option for random medical issues that don’t quite require 911. As much as I hope I don’t have to go to the doctor any time soon, if I do need a doctor consult and it’s not a life or limb threatening emergency, I would very much consider going back.
