AFC Doctors Express Urgent Care

The front desk staff is rude and although the doctors seem nice they misdiagnosed my daughters condition not once, but twice. This was two different doctors on two different days. (About three days apart) This led to a very expensive emergency room visit where at least we got the answers and treatment she needed. Not only did they waste our time and money, they also added to an ready stressful situation.

Staff with bad actitud, treating sick people as stupids. If you have pain they talk to you as a drug addict, even if you never in your life has try drug s, thay dont care. No recommend.

On vacation, son has suspected strep throat. Web site, Unilocal,and outgoing message said they were open, called to hear «operator assisting other customers.» Drove from St. Pete’s beach to find note on door closed for Easter. Thanks a lot.

Had to go here on a few occasions for bad colds and a skin infection. It’s close to my house and they take my insurance. The front desk staff aren’t too friendly but the doctors here are doctors and not just PAs as found at other clinics. They are thorough and answered all my questions. I work in the medical field and these Doctors seem well trained and experienced from my visits.

Have had very different experiences here. I have gone twice for ear infections, and was very pleased with the care I received. However, i also went for travel vaccines, having been told by the receptionist that doctors express could give the vaccines there. After waiting a long time for the initial doctor consult ($ 90), the doctor gave us a list of recommended medications for our trip. We had already researched that information on the CDC website and knew that she really didn’t know what was necessary. Not a big problem. Our complaint was that she then told us that they couldn’t do the vaccines there and we’d have to go to the health department. Major waste of time and money. Should have just gone straight to the health department!

Wow! I had to come here for a pre-​employment drug test — but was completely blown away by the polite front desk, clean and welcoming waiting room, quick turnaround time, and the support. I didn’t have an appointment, but was in and out in no time. I love that they are open 8 – 8 all 7 days of the week, so it is a great alternative to the primary doctor’s office should the need ever come up. Looks to me like they accept several types of insurance — but the cash prices are very respectable too.

While the place was clean and the wait wasn’t horrible… They didn’t help me AT ALL and I still had to pay $ 90 (I don’t have insurance). I went in with something in my throat, making it difficult to swallow. I told him that it WASN’T a foreign body and it felt like it was attached to my throat. After spending all of 5 minutes with me, asking the same questions over and over again, he decides it’s ACID REFLUX!!! And sends me home with a prescription for Zantac!!! What a waste of time and money. Now I have a lump in my throat and I don’t know what to do… I cried the entire way home.

Well I can’t say I am glad to finally have a reason to visit Doctor’s Express, but I have been driving by it for a while and kept it in the back of my mind in case we ever needed it. If you need to see a doctor after 5pm or on weekends, there are really not many local places to go, except the emergency room. Now we have Doctor’s Express in St. Pete to help keep us away from emergency rooms (except if you have a real emergency, of course!). They are open 8am-​8pm 7 DAYS A WEEK! So you are never more than 12 hours from seeing a real doctor anymore!
We visited on a weeknight around 7:15pm. After 3 relatively short forms to complete, we were taken back to the first room within 5 minutes. They took body temperature, blood pressure, and weight with very modern technology. They asked a few health history questions and then we were taken into the exam room. The doctor came in immediately! We were in and out altogether in less than 30 minutes.
This location also has on site x-​rays and labs! I also really liked that they have their prices (for non-​insured patients) posted in several places. The prices seemed very reasonable and certainly much cheaper than the emergency room! The whole location appeared very clean.

This place is the cleanest, nicest walk-​in clinic I have ever been in. We have visited twice now: the first time the flu hit me hard on a Friday (my MD is closed Fri-​Sun). This most recent visit I burned my hand on a hot pan handle that had just came out of the oven (don’t ask… please) on a Sunday afternoon. I thought of the packed ER and suggested we try Doctors Express instead. Not only was it cheaper than the ER ($ 35 copay with my insurance), but it was so fast. There was no one there when we walked in! In about an hour I was slathered in SSD cream, wrapped up and sent on my way with a few prescriptions, an offer of a free follow-​up visit if needed (when does that happen at most walk-in’s? Never!) and some gauze to re-​wrap my hand. The staff was very friendly and helpful and I saw a real MD who was very attentive and concerned. I highly recommend this place.
