Patient First

I am here at patient first. I came for a breathing treatment for my asthma… I have been sitting for 20 min minimum with no treatment. This is not including the amount of time in the waiting room… ridiculous

I did not suffer the long wait times that past reviews had experienced. Came in at 9:00 pm on a Monday, so it wasn’t terribly busy. Was checked, put in the back seen and out the door within 35 minutes.
The only thing that was weird was the doctor who made the comment «Why do you have an ear infection? Children get ear infections!» and she was totally serious. So other than the fact that I chose the wrong illness, it wasn’t a bad experience at all.

I went there today, and it took about 2 hours + to finally get seen by the doctor. Putting the wait time aside, it was decent. The staff seem to be able to tolerate the ‘patients’. I don’t know how else to articulate myself regarding it. Although, i did like Dr. Charisse Davenport.

I went to Patient First in White Marsh and I was so sick that my blood pressure dropped dramatically low. I had a fever, Influenza A, Bronchitis and pneumonia. They tookl such good care of me. I was there 7 hours and they hydrated me until my pressure was normal and I was able to walk out of there. I want to say how very professional these people were but even more than that they were compassionate. The Dr. who took care of me was Dr. Elena Sabaeva, she was without a doubt the best primary care doctor I have ever had. I went back the next day to be checked and they made sure I was doing much better or they would have sent me to the ER. I want to thank all the wonderful and professional people that took such good care of me. I will be returning.

It’s the weekend and was feeling horrible. I knew I couldn’t wait to *maybe* get in to see a doctor on Monday. I stopped by Patient First and have never used these types of urgent care facilities before but this was super convenient.
The waiting room was empty– good sign
Technician who screened me was friendly and had his own little office — liked the privacy
Nurse immediately called me back for vitals — nice
Nurse called me back again immediately for urine test and then put me in my own room
I did have to wait there for a good chunk of time but I have waited longer at a doctor’s office with an appt. This was a walk in. At least I had my own room and bed to lie on. Not bad. The only thing that I might suggest is for the nurse to check on my once in awhile but since they saw me go to the bathroom a few times, they knew I was still alive. It’s not like they’re going to keep a ton of doctors on call.
Doctor earned 5 stars — he took the time to explain things and gave his recommendations. He brought my prescription to me *what service!* and I didn’t even have to stop at the pharmacy. Maybe it’s because I’m active duty military so my Tricare Prime insurance covers it all… but still.
I would definitely recommend this place to others.

I walked in to an empty waiting room. Not surprising. We were called back very quickly. Less than five minutes. Now we are in the back waiting no doctor, no nurse. Nothing. Waiting now for about 1 hour and no one has checked on us. When the doctor finally came back in they couldn’t even give me a direct reason of why my child was sick. They are just clueless. I will not be going back.

Empty waiting room, no one in the back except medical personnel, and yet I’ve been waiting for 45minutes for a doctor. Must be on a beer run or something.

The nurses and other staff that helped me were 4 star. The doctor I had was maybe a 0 star. I went after work and there were a few people in there already. I checked in and was seen by a person that checked me in within 10 minutes. I was called back almost immediately after my check in to be seen by the nurses. They were friendly and answered all of my questions.
They put me in a room to be examined by a doctor. This wait was a bit longer. The doctor listened to me breath asked me a couple questions and left to write me a prescription. When he brought the prescription back I told him I did not want codeine because of side effects I’ve had in the past. He gave me the prescription anyway. He was very rushed and had his back turned to me like he was about to walk out when I was trying to ask him my last question.
Now that I think about it, I never did hear back about those lab results, but I am better now anyway. No thanks to this doctor or that prescription he wrote me that I didn’t get filled.

Do you like waiting? If so then please go here. Even if there’s not a lot of people you’re still going to be waiting. Really friendly staff though.

Slowwwww, should be called patient last, even when it was dead.
Showed up with a screaming baby and other minor sick people after us were treated first.
Unfortunately, there are no good urgent care facilities anywhere so you’re stuck.
