Urgicare Tampa, LLC

It was not a good experience. We went on a Sunday. There was not doctor only nurses. Of course nurses are great but they can’t write prescriptions. we were not told of not doctor on duty. We found later. Lucky for us, my fiancé needed X-​Ray. It took days to get result.

I saw Dr Jones a few weeks ago after an auto accident. Registration didn’t take but 10 – 15 mins which was awesome and I was back in no time. The MA that took my vitals was quick n on point, when Dr Jones came in we spoke for a few minutes about what happened and ordered some xrays. Since I had my baby with me one of the (MA’s?) offered to hold her for a few minutes while I had the xrays done. When they were done I found my baby completely happy being held and bounced by the same woman.
After a few minutes I was discharged with instructions. I was in n out with 1 – 1.5 hrs. will definitely use them again.

I think in a pinch this place would probably work, but based on the complaints here and now my own experience, I wouldn’t chance it again. I moved from out of state and needed to establish myself with a general physician. I had some issues to review and my new insurance limited my coverage choices. I selected Urgicare because their hours were flexible and I could make an appointment sooner than the other offices I called. The appointment itself was fine, besides a bizarre bedside manner, my doctor seemed competent and knowledgeable. It’s when I called about filling a prescription, one that I’ve taken for 12 years and another I’ve taken for 6 that it got hairy. Despite having my former records, the amount of pushback I received was insane. My prescription was called in improperly so many times that on my (5^th I think) visit to the pharmacy, he flat out told me to find a new doctor. The other medication was plain refused by my doctor. This is a medication that has to be slowly tapered off out of one’s system or it can lead to bad side effects. I’m left to scramble to find another doctor to check in with after wasting all my time and efforts with Urgicare.
Basically, this place has caused much more stress than necessary over stuff that I normally don’t have to think or worry about. I’m taking my pharmacist’s advice and you should too.

I enjoyed the speed of the experience (seen within about 15 – 20 minutes of arriving), but was not pleased with the remainder of the visit. I came with symptoms of severe dehydration, and after 5 minutes with I was shuttled off to an expensive ultrasound clinic for a battery of unwanted (and ultimately unnecessary, no need to insert an ultrasound wand into my body to see I need a fluid infusion) tests. While I was waiting to see the doctor, they made an appointment for my ultrasound (without my consent) and shoved me out the door. The doctor never contacted me to discuss the results, despite the ultrasound tech sending them back to his office the same day. Cheaper than the ER, true, but the quality of service was quite low as well!

Super friendly staff. I had a short wait but I was there on a weekend. This place is open 7 days a week. It basically saved me $ 500 because I was going to have to be treated at a hospital for my problem.
Highly recommend !

Listen to the reviews please. Do not go here! I would NOT recommend that anyone visit this facility. Not only were both doctors I saw questionable as to their basic healthcare knowledge but the second time I went (I’ve been twice) I was misdiagnosed completely which ultimately led me to have to visit another doctor for a second opinion at another facility who actually found the real issue which at that point became so severe that I needed to go to the ER and stay in the hospital! I will never ever, ever go back to urgicare. EVER! There are plenty of other places that I’m sure are far better than this with real doctors that are knowledgeable and properly trained.
I wish I had read/​seen these reviews on Unilocal beforehand. If I had, I would have never stopped in. Now I know to warn everyone else.

Horrible place. First you wait for 2 hours to be seen and then they keep trying to charge you 6 months later for the visit. DO NOT go here. This place is full of hack doctors that don’t know what they are doing.

I went to Dr Jones yesterday for a sore shoulder. I had an appointment, which I was able to get almost immediately after calling, and was seen very quickly after my arrival (not including time for paperwork — it was my first visit there, after all). The receptionist was very pleasant on the phone and in person, and the medical assistant was friendly and competent. Dr. Jones herself was very friendly and approachable, and I did not feel rushed at all. Overall, it was one of the easiest medical visits I’ve had in quite a while, and I would recommend it to anyone.
In response to the billing comments, I was charged exactly what my insurance said I would be, and I felt it was very reasonable. I also saw the price list for basic services on the wall in the waiting room, and did not think any of them were too high, based on what I know about lab fees, etc. All in all, I thought the prices were fair and clearly presented.

Thanks for the info Nicole, its 4am and I’m looking for an urgent care facility, I won’t be going here, business need to understand people now don’t go anywhere without checking out reviews on there business, bad news spreads fast, again thank you for your review
