PlushCare Urgent Care

I can’t rave enough about their service enough! Although their Unilocal page is slightly confusing (says 69 dollars, when it’s actually 99, as well as it’s not clear that it’s a phone-​based diagnosing staff of doctors, not an actual location), I was able to call, figure out the details, and have a doctor call me a short 20 minutes later to diagnose me and prescribe medication that would have taken me hours at a walk-​in clinic. I was so bed-​ridden and immobile, the thought of leaving my house was terrifying, but the team at Plush Care had me on my way to recovery in no time! Dr. Linda Anegawa was kind, patient, and knew exactly the right course of action for treatment. Even after the initial consultation, they remain available for any questions or concerns for 30 days after the initial call. Dr. Anegawa called me a couple days later to check in, answer questions, and put my mind at ease. My only suggestion would be to update the website and Unilocal page to make it a little easier to distinguish Plush Care as a call-​in center only. For $ 99 and no uncomfortable car ride or wait time in a busy, presumably understaffed walk-​in clinic, I was diagnosed and getting the antibiotics I needed within an hour. Thank you Plush Care.

We lost our healthcare coverage last year thanks to the «Affordable» Care Act, and are now 100% self-​pay. As a result, we have been forced to find ways to cuts costs when possible and when it can be done without negatively impacting our health care. I was delighted to find the PlushCare option, and highly recommend it for the types of services they provide.
From the time I found the Web site, to the time we were speaking to our PlushCare physician was about 30 minutes! And there were several other appointment times open throughout the day. Very convenient. So many things you have to visit a doctor for that really don’t require driving into the office, doing the dance with the receptionist, waiting in the aptly named waiting room, and then again in the examination room. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve left the doctor’s office with the vague feeling that I’d just wasted a lot of time surrounding a short face to face consult.
The physician was pleasant, easy to understand and thoroughly professional, quickly helped us with a minor medical concern and sent a prescription electronically to the pharmacy. If I had chosen a mail-​order pharmacy, I could have handled the entire thing without every leaving home, and for a cost that is considerably less than a traditional office visit.
We chose the phone option, but they offer video conferencing as well, and you can relevant photos if needed. An idea whose time has come!
After our consult, I had a question about the program that I decided to email their generic email address about. Within 2 hours, I received a personal and in-​depth response from the company CEO, fully answering my concerns.

This appears to be an answering service. I called and was given instructions on a website after filling driving directions to a non-​existent location. Unilocal deleted my first review. I stand by my review. My experience with PlushCare was a bad one.

I had an issue that requires antibiotics and was looking up urgent care places because doctors office appointments are 3 weeks out these days. I found this place, called, and the lovely woman on the phone explained the concept of the call/​video chat. I booked an appointment online SAME DAY, the call took ten minutes and I had antibiotics called in 20 minutes before the pharmacy closed!
This concept is amazing! The doctors are kind, attentive, and really know their stuff! The doctor I spoke with even gave me tips and tricks to advance the healing process that I’ve never heard of in the past decade of dealing with this condition. Truly fantastic experience!

This service is the absolute best!
I was sick last weekend with horrible strep and I knew my doctor was closed. I also didn’t want to spend my entire Saturday in urgent care waiting for a prescription. I found this service via Unilocal,and it didn’t steer me wrong.
It look me a few minutes to sign up and I was able to schedule my appointment 30 minutes later. The best part — all while home sitting in my PJs! The service allows you to video chat with a doctor so he can analyze your situation. He called in a prescription for antibiotics to the pharmacy of my choice, and it was available to pick up in 30 minutes. It was relatively inexpensive (cheaper than urgent care), I was able to stay home and be on the mend in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend this service!

I live in San Francisco now, but my mother still lives in the greater Sacramento area. When I was little, I’d always had problems with sensitive skin and I’m pretty prone to breaking out in rashes easily. Although I hadn’t had an outbreak in several years, while visiting her one weekend, it came back out of nowhere. My regular doctor was all the way in SF (like 2 – 3 hrs away), so I looked up alternatives in the area and found this!
Setting up the appointment was quick and easy. I was talking to a doctor on the phone within an hour, and because I already knew what this was and what type of medicine I normally get for it, I just had to answer some questions about the symptoms so the doctor could make sure it was the right diagnosis and topical cream, and then my prescription was on the way! Picked it up from the Walgreens near my mom’s place that night.
Really great idea that saves SO much time and hassle! Would definitely recommend.

I unfortunately have suffered from chronic urinary tract infections for 15 years, and at this point I don’t need a doctor to do a urinalysis or diagnose me because I’m so familiar with the symptoms. I know when I have a UTI and I really just need antibiotics. I happen to be doing a training program in LA this week and didn’t have any of my usual antibiotics with me, so I knew I needed to go to urgent care. I was a little uncertain about using an online service, but they were great! The doctor listened to my symptoms, asked me a few questions to confirm my diagnosis and make sure it wasn’t something more serious, and called in my script to the nearby pharmacy of my choice and it was ready in under two hours. Really wonderful low cost method for urgent care. Highly recommend!

I was new to the area and needed to see a doctor STAT for a skin condition that needed an RX before another sleepless night, tearing up my skin. I looked on the internet for a close by Urgent Care. UP came «PlushCare Urgent» my dream coming true! I didn’t have to drive at night (I can NOT see at night well at all) to somewhere I’d never been before in the dark.
I made an appt online for one hour away, the next appt available. An American Doctor phoned me, at the appointed time and called in two RXs for me. She spent more time with me than the physicians at a scheduled doctor appt. She took in ALL my info, I didn’t have to relay it once to receptionist, then to a nurse, and then to the doctor. I drove to Walgreens and picked up my RX within the HOUR! Relief was on its way! I got a good night’s sleep and all this for $ 45! She also made sure she phoned in two options in Rxs because she wasn’t certain my insurance would cover one of the Rxs (it did)!
The only thing to top this would be like in the old days when the Pharmacist delivered the RX to you (my grandma was a pharmacist in Palm Springs, CA and she and I used to make emergency deliveries back in the day).
FANTABULOUS doctor, fantastic idea. They are getting a web cam set up so that they can see the affected areas but it was not up and running last night when I made the appt.

After a week of intense headaches and sinus pressure, I realized I likely had a sinus infection and needed to go to a doctor. Since I recently moved here, and I don’t have a primary care provider, I looked for alternatives and found PlushCare! I booked my appointment online at 5:30pm from my bed and was promptly called by Dr. Marks at 6:00pm. He was incredibly professional and gathered all of my necessary healthcare history. After diagnosing me, he found my nearest pharmacy and called in an antibiotic prescription. The call lasted about 25 minutes and within 40 minutes from the time Dr. Marks called, I was on my way home with medicine in hand! 24 hours later I felt like a new person. This is an amazing service, and I am so glad I didn’t have to wait in a doctor’s office to get a simple diagnosis when I was feeling so terrible. I highly recommend this service and will certainly be using it again.

I love this concept! I had a very ordinary and common infection that could be treated by a nurse practitioner, but my only option this day was to pay $ 200 and probably wait for an hour or more to see an urgent care doctor. Total overkill for my situation. Instead I got online, created an account in less than 5 minutes, and booked an appointment. At the appointed hour my phone rang and Dr. Marks spent 10 minutes going over my symptoms and providing solutions. Despite the short time, he was very thorough both in the questions he asked and the advice he gave. It was one of the most appropriate approaches to a healthcare issue I have ever experienced.

9:30 PM and I was having a major allergic reaction. Since everything was closed including my One Medical, I did some Unilocaling and came across this service. In 30 mins I was on a call with a legit doctor (dr. Marks) discussing my skin rash. He called over a prescription and I was ready to go! He even called me back to follow up on some pics that I sent him of the affected spot. The only bit of uncomfortableness is that if they request pics, you must send this to a blanket email address that someone sends over to the doctor. A little strange from the privacy side but I imagine they’ll work this out. $ 45 without insurance? Amazing even though I have insurance and still decided to use them.

Had an appointment today with plush care. Kind of weird because you don’t actually meet the MD in person. But I looked up the MD I had an appointment with on the computer to see who I was talking to. I had an appointment with Dr. J. Wantuck. He was amazing. Basically it’s all online and u communicate via video setup on a desktop computer or emiling. He called as scheduled so be ready. He called and was very attentive and actually listened to all my issues. Which is rare because most MD don’t give u lots of time. After talking to Dr. Wantuck about my issues he straigized and sent a prescription to my walgreens. I went to the walgreens and the medication was super expensive and I panicked. But before I lost it. I emailed him letting him know that I can’t afford the medication. Within minutes he emailed me back sending me the same medication at a cheaper rated with a coupon. This is amazing and things like this don’t happen to me. I figured I would get the script later then he emails again with a cheaper script and another coupon. I would marry this man. The price went from 400 to 40. I think Dr. Wantuck is anamzing MD and not just because of the script but because of the time and patience. He listened and made me feel like I had all the time in the world. Even tho I didn’t he made me feel as though I did. Most doctors are super busy and basically rush you if they know it or not. The Healthcare profession is a business but we have lost touch. He is a great asset to the group. I can’t speak for all the doctors. But Dr. Wantuck is an awesome guy. I mean awesome Doctor! You never know the impact something so small can have on a person even just 15mins on the phone. Dr. Wantuck thank you so much for you for everything. I can’t wait to see results. I will be setting appointments via this service with my new MD in the future. Lol he don’t even know he my new MD. Great service.
