PlushCare Urgent Care

Hands down awesome experience!!! Felt like I had strep throat. Didn’t want anyone to have to sit in a car with me being contagious. Didn’t want to sit in a germy waiting room. This is a great alternative. Thank you!

This was a fantastic experience! After suffering most of the weekend with a UTI because I wanted to avoid the high costs of a traditional urgent care, I found Plush Care online. I was skeptical at first, but since I was desperate, I gave it a chance. I made an appointment online for just 15 minutes later and the doctor called promptly at that time. After a brief visit and review of my symptoms, my prescription was sent to my pharmacy. So easy and hassle free! Totally worth every penny. I will be using this again I’m sure.

All I can say is WOW! This is hands down the most efficient urgent care service I have ever experienced. Customer service was excellent and the Dr. was fantastic. Dr. Marks called me just before my scheduled time (which I only booked 10 minutes earlier). He was more thorough than many Dr.‘s I have seen in person. He explained both prescription and over the counter remedies. Within 5 minutes my prescription was ordered and ready for me to pick up. Everything about this service is stellar. As someone who travels all the time for work, I just wish they serviced more states!!! I will 1000% use this service again. I am amazed.

Excellent customer service. I highly recommend PlushCare over driving and waiting at some urgent care facility.

I had a migraine on vacation during a holiday weekend and didn’t have my prescription. The doctor that called me gave me lots of great advice and within the hour, my prescription was ready… what a relief they were!

This is the best doctor/​urgent care experience I’ve ever had. Dr George Rudy called on time, was very informative, and was able to prescribe me treatment in a timely manner. The appointment was easy to schedule online, I was able to upload a picture, and write a message about my symptoms. Dr Rudy found me the best priced pharmacy in my area and sent me a coupon for additional savings.
Really great. Will definitely use this service again.

Outstanding new service. Decided to give these guys a try after having an illness for about a week. It was Sunday and I did not feel like trudging down to urgent care etc.
Called at the appointed time — gave good advice — called in a prescription — and told me what to do if I did not feel better in a couple of days. The Doctor was very professional and attentive.
Love the concept — saves everyone time and money. I think I have glimpsed the future of of medical treatment for minor issues and illnesses. Keep up the good work.

Be advised, this is phone based medical care. I had a spot of food poisoning the other week and contacted Plush Care. Dr. Rudy called me back right at my appointment time and we discussed my symptoms. I didn’t need IV treatment, so the whole process was smooth and simple over the phone. He filled a prescription for me at my pharmacy of choice that my wife picked up. He even located the pharmacy with the cheapest pricing. One pill was all I needed. I felt better by the end of the day and didn’t even have to leave my house. Thank you Plush Care!

All though this urgent care is based in San Jose, Ca., I had the experience of using their services via the telephone. Yep!!! Urgent Care on the telephone. It is very convenient to use. It was 10:30 a.m., I needed to take my uncle to the urgent care due to an eye I infection. He is a tourist here, this no insurance. I searched online and called multiple Urgent Care Centers. They all have a 2 – 3 hour wait with $ 125 out of pocket. For the free ones, the wait was 4 – 6 hours.
So I stumbled upon PlushCare Urgent Care. Fee is $ 49.00. I made an appointment for 11:00. Paid the fee up front. Not even a minute later (around 10:40) I received a call from their call center informing me that the MD I chose was running behind and offered me another doctor. I agreed. At exactly 11:00 Dr Rudy called. Just like a regular visit he asked all the necessary questions.
Oh, you also have the option to upload a photo online to their site if that is one of your signs and symptoms. And you also have the option of doing a video visit. Not sure if it’s through Skype. But you get the idea.
He was very attentive to our needs. He directly sent the prescription to a nearby pharmacy and even gave us a coupon for the medication!!! Wow! Talking about service. The medication was supposed to be $ 100.00 out of pocket, but with the coupon he gave us, I ended up paying $ 51.45 :-)
Now, I’m a nurse. I am very impressed by this urgent care. Very excellent customer service.
My advise to everyone using this service is just use it for simple matters. Like a simple cold, on going rash. Not for chest pain nor shortness of breath.
I have insurance, but I will be using this service for sure in the near future. I do not want to wait for more than an hour to be seen.

How convenient is this urgent care service! I haven’t even had my phone appt yet but am already impressed with the service. Patrick answered the phone after I was having some difficulty online… I was skeptical but you can tell it’s completely legit. I just left work early to head to an urgent care that was going to charge me $ 105 for a visit then I Unilocaled some other places to compare prices and this place came up. My appt is in 30 minutes and Patrick already called to confirm my appt and get my Rx info.

I couldn’t be happier with the care that I received. I called and scheduled an appointment for a sore throat and some indigestion, and i was able to speak with a doctor the very same day. What was great was that I didn’t even have to leave work! My prescription was ready at my Target pharmacy by the time I left my job. I highly reccomend this place for people who have no insurance, crazy schedules, simple ailments that mostly require antibiotics, and as a way to keep illnesses secured at home.
I wish they’re could have been a health questionare so that the doctors could review past medical histories, allergies, etc in much more depth. Overall, I would try them again and reccomend Dr. Marks as i was very happy with his diagnosis.

The greatest idea ever. I had a big crack in my foot and my podiatrist could see me for over a week, so I looked up Urgent Care and PlushCare came up. When I started reading about what they did, the cost, etc. I thought it was too good to be true. I called their information line to see if my problem was something they could help me with. The gentleman I spoke with said to take some pictures and email them for the Dr. to look at before he called me.
Dr.Wantuk called me promptly at my appt. time, asked some questions and called in an antibiotic for me. I didn’t have to leave my house or drive 20 minutes to wait at an urgent care with a bunch of sick people and fill out pages of paperwork. And even with my insurance, I am sure $ 45 was less than I would have paid there.
Unless I need tests done or really think I need to see a Dr. in person, I will definitely use PlushCare again. They even said that if I had any questions I could call and there would be no extra charge.
Amazing!!! You guys rock!

This is the coolest idea ever. I am a single mom, divorced, a nursing student, and live with my mom. Needless to say, I’m on Medi-​Cal, which we all know is a joke. I had a fever and all sorts of crazy business happening with my tonsils and could not, for the life of me, get an appointment through my PCP. I didn’t want to go to the ER for something like this, especially when the wait times are HOURS long… So I googled urgent care centers in my area and this little gem popped up. zOMG the best thing since sliced bread!
I signed up, provided my information, selected a pharmacy, paid the $ 45 fee (which is a steal!) and Dr. Rudy called me up right on time. He asked me several diagnostic questions and within 20 minutes, my prescription for antibiotics was sent to my local pharmacy (I have strep, btw). I could not be happier with this service! I can’t believe no one has come up with it sooner.
Side note, I noticed on their website that they offer house calls for only $ 250. How amazing is that!!! These guys are great! A+

Plushcare is amazing!
We’ve had 3 great experiences with them this year. Each visit has been comfortable, easy and effective. The doctors have been knowledgeable thorough and accurate. And they are really kind and caring! They are now our families new providers for sick or urgent care visits.
If you want to avoid long waits when you feel awful and avoid sharing germy space with other sick people please give them a try. You’ll be glad you did. I am so excited about having this type of medical care available. So glad to see this wonderful change!

This service was a Godsend! This is truly the future of SMART healthcare. I am a nurse. I’ve worked in healthcare for years and wondered why some doctors insist upon dragging sick people into their office to spread their germs to the masses. For common ailments, this is the way to go.
Let’s face it. You know when it’s no longer a cold and it’s something more. You know what you need: antibiotics and perhaps an inhaler or some cough syrup. It’s the same every time. People are more educated about their own health. Doctors have a set of skills that can help determine what ails you with a few quick questions. So why not combine those two factors and eliminate the need to trudge out when you’re feeling your worst? The last thing a compromised immune system needs is to get out of bed, sit in a doctor’s office for two hours around other sick people and in turn spread their germs to others.
So., my story: my cold started a week ago while I was in DC visiting family. Then I traveled on the longest flight from DC to SFO and my ears were painfully NOT popping on descent. For the next 2 days, I lay in bed miserably rolling between coughing, sneezing, draining, stuffiness, aching, wheezing, fever, and just wanting to crawl under a rock and sleep forever. Finally I dragged myself out to Urgent Care in Corte Madera and was told that no one could see me until 430pm the following day (yesterday). Really? You’re kidding. All I need is for a doctor to lay eyes on me and spend 5 minutes with me to see/​hear what I needed. So I begrudgingly left their office and sat in my car and Googled «Urgent Care Marin.» Plushcare popped up.
Now normally I’d be skeptical. It’s one of the top hits under the «AD» section. It sounds too good to be true. I even emailed the company and asked if there was a monthly fee. I assumed there must be some «catch.» I received an email back within 5 minutes! WOW! I was impressed! Not a day…5 minutes to respond to an email. OK. Convenience? Check. Customer Service? Check. Cheap? Check. Immediate? Check. I could have had an appointment while I was sitting there in my car outside of Urgent Care but decided to go crawl into my bed for my conversation with the doctor.
I had a Stanford educated doctor call me promptly at the specified time. He took time to hear my story/​signs/​symptoms. He had me do a couple breathing exercises for him as I put the phone on speaker. We spoke for about 10 – 15 minutes (more time than you get with a doctor in an office)! I’m charged $ 45 for the consultation. The doctor has already emailed/​wired/​faxed (who knows? who cares?) my prescription to Walgreens before the conversation is over. What more do you need to know? I’m seriously LOVING this service. VERY impressed! Thank you, PlushCare! Thank you!
ps…2^nd dose of antibiotics and I’m feeling MUCH better!

Amazing!
This is the future of healthcare, thank goodness.
Everything about PlushCare is 100% convenient. The administrator is tremendously helpful with concerns, and the website is super easy to use. The doctor who called me (Dr. Rudy) was prompt, friendly, and very thorough. I saved a HUGE amount of time and money. Flat fee of $ 45 to talk to Stanford educated doctor? And I don’t have to leave my house? I am so sold on PlushCare!

VERY FAST! VERY EASY!
VERY IMPRESSED!
Simple, easy to undertand process. Very affordable and EXACTLY what I was looking for. Like most people, I’m extremely busy and avoid doctors and hospitals in large part because of the time it takes out of my day. PlushCare has solved that. The website is very well done and easy for someone like me to understand.
I don’t normally write Unilocal reviews but in this case, I feel like it’s well deserved. Thank you VERY much! Even though I hope I never get sick again, I know I will use you again and I will continue to tell friends and family about you.

I think the worst things about healthcare these days are. ..
No, that’s going to take entirely too long.
The BEST thing about healthcare these days is that it’s changing.
It’s changing from a system where time, money, opportunity costs, and genuine concern are thrown out like yesterday’s Chronicle, to a system based on genuine care and catering to the modern-​day patient.
Let me qualify these statements. Picture me, a starving student circa 2011. I finally found a doctor that both came recommended AND was covered by my insurance. I scheduled an appointment not once, not twice, but THREE times. All three times she canceled. The last time she canceled, I had was almost to her office, after a full day of school and about 2 miles on foot. Barefoot. In the dumping snow. .. in May. .. in San Francisco. .. The worst part? I just needed a prescription for my chronic heartburn!
Fast forward to 2015. I’m in my home office. PlushCare is literally at my fingertips. I sign in, make an appointment within 15 minutes (it’s already 4:45 pm, so that in and of itself is impressive), and in moments I’m on the phone with a licensed, Stanford-​trained doctor. He asks for my medical history. He not only talks me through plausible causes, but listens to my main concerns regarding prescriptions, medicine in general, diet, and habits.
We have come to an agreement: I will begin a new regiment starting. .. wait for it. .. NOW. Like, right now. It took moments for me to drive to the pharmacy (you select your preferred pharmacy in advance), and for me to be on my way to the next chapter of «The Stomach that Tried to Eat Itself.» *Tried* being the keyword.
If all healthcare were this easy, I would have had these problems solved, these questions answered YEARS ago. Hello, spaghetti and meatballs. You look absolutely ravishing this evening…
Finally, I can’t help but tout the philosophy: For every visit booked, PlushCare gives back to a school or a portion of the local community in need.
Sayonara, healthcare of 2011!

At first I was hesitant at first to use a service like this, but I was blown away by how secure I felt during the process. Not only did Plush Care deliver on the ease of signup and speed of service, but the actual service itself was fantastic.
The next time I need to speak to a physician, Plush Care is the first place I am going to call

PlushCare doesn’t just offer relief for your symptoms, it offers relief for one of the biggest pains around healthcare: spending half your day getting simple prescriptions written out. It’s a huge time-​saver.
I called into PlushCare and was able to speak to a physician right away. I described my symptoms and was able to get a prescription written out within 15 minutes. Great service, prompt care, and an accurate diagnosis. I am definitely going to continue using PlushCare!
