NextCare Urgent Care, Broomfield - 4590 W 121st Ave, Broomfield
Had a mishap in Mexico, where my was smashed in the ocean. We did a telehealth visit as we were out of the country and they suggested going to the urgent care when we were returned to the states a couple days later. The doctor on the video call suspected a contusion, possibly a fracture and wanted the hematoma looked at. When I got to the clinic, the PA seemed to be rushed.  She never bothered to do x-rays and never bothered to specify how to care for contusions. I paid $100 co-pay so somebody could tell me “it looks like the bruises spreading appropriately”. I could have done that to myself. Taking time to care for the whole person should be a priority.

This appointment was not easy.  There was construction going on just the other side of the wall of the examination room. I could not communicate without feeling like I needed to yell.  I feel like my blood pressure was not taken appropriately, the device kept rebooting and squishing my arm.  The reading was truly outrageous, I felt like it needed to be retaken.  The tech did not do so.  He said it was acceptable, but, I felt it was not. I would have felt better with another device that was more accurate.  I was given what I had hoped for, some meds , but an unclear diagnosis.  Still my neighborhood go-to.

I was able to choose a Quest lab location and schedule an appointment. Check in was easy, and I only needed to provide my name and DOB. They were able to locate my order in their system. They were already aware that my labs were paid for prior to the appointment. I had my labs done on a Wednesday, and I received my results by Saturday. Great experience.

I never went inside. ALL Covid testing and sign-up was done outside by instructions clearly stated on their front door and windows…. and I briefly waited comfortably in my car. Easy to navigate the website. Quick test and fast results! My only concern is in re: to the paper result copy you get. It looks almost “homemade” and is in funky print black-n-white. A colored document would “appear” so much more professional and legit. I just hope the “professional Concert event” that I’m attending this weekend will except it as real and legitimate, and won’t think that I made it up myself. It honestly looks like something I could have typed up at home by pulling some “standard form” off the Internet. I am one of those people that came here to get a test NOT because I was ill, but because I needed to show that I have had a TRUE negative result in the past 48-72hrs. as is REQUIRED by this facility, and which I DID!! I thought : “YES, I am UN-vaccinated (for my own personal reasons) but, I am WELL, and I can therefore attend a performance in a very nice and well established performance hall, likely even sitting shoulder to shoulder, because I Legitimately went out of my way to make this test happen.” However, this doc falls short of “appearing” top-notch professional, EVEN THOUGH everyone I came in contact with either by phone or in person at this facility was incredibly professional! An identification stamp, an attached colored brochure representing the clinic, or even a “live” signature (added just before handing it to me) would’ve been better than this. I am just hoping and praying that this works to admit me to this special event, which was always my intent for doing this in the 1st place. Maybe my comments here will help in some small way to improve the professionalism of the documentation that you receive after getting your test done. Everything else about this facility was extremely pleasant and swift. And the employees were terrific! Wait Time = wonderful. Check-in = swift. Booked thru my smart phone. My cost for this test is YTBD due to not knowing up front, because I never called my insurance provider 1st. But I wasn’t worried about that from the get-go. It’s a great place to SUPPORT!!

I had to get a rapid COVID test for attending a concert, and used OnPoint due to my regular physician being booked. This could have been something to easily dismiss as mundane and routine - thus cutting corners on service/bed-side manner. Definitely not the case with this visit. The online process to register, book appointment, and check in was very easy to navigate and get through quickly. The staff with whom I interacted were all friendly, and professional with a genuine care for me as a patient/customer. I will definitely be returning to On Point for any future urgent care needs.

As one who tested positive for Covid . the 2 gentleman I had the honor of dealing with were FAR BEYOND professional, and made the entire process simpler then I imagined and treated me with absolute concern and respect!!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤 I would like to say thank you for everything I encountered today! And with all of the negativity that seems to be going on in the world right now, the way I was treated by 2 of your employees today, actually gives me hope for humanity. And I hope that their professionalism is recognized by your organization !!!

The doctor told me that the antibodies test I was about to take was highly inaccurate. (Another doctor from your same facility told my husband that the test is highly accurate.) Then the doctor told me that even if I have antibodies, I should get the vaccine to be better protected. When I told him that I had heard that the people who are having the most trouble with the vaccine are the ones who already have antibodies, he said, “I’ve been an army ranger. I’m not afraid of pain,” He was arrogant and condescending.

I have had a horrific cold going on 10 days now and my husband is starting to get it now. We came in for a COVID test just to be sure. Our doctor was very thorough to the point where she ordered a chest X-ray to be sure I didn’t have pneumonia. My O2 level was quite low so she was quite concerned about that. The doc questioned us both very thoroughly. It was nice we could go in the same room together as well. We booked our appointment on line.

Easy to make my appointment online. I came during peak hours (around 6:30pm) to get a COVID test so I expected to have to wait. My appointment was for 6:40 and I was finally seen around 7:30pm. The doctor who attended to me (Diane) was very friendly and took the time to listen to all of my concerns. I really appreciated that. I was out within 30 minutes or so with a negative test and a much better understanding of what to do to stay safe.

Excellent help from Next Care: *** Grant Street. Thornton, Colorado. The receptionist was outstanding and very professional. Her name was Amanda and a credit to your business. The clinician who gave us a rapid Covid test was also excellent. Her name was Alea. We attended the clinic 9/03/*** in the AM. We would like them both to have special recognition for their services. Wait time was a little lengthy. We arrived at 8:10 and seen at 10:00. We did not have a scheduled appointment.

Overall I loved my experience. Only complaint is after checking in and filling out all the links sent to me I had a 15 minute wait and when being called the front office stated I didn’t check in when I clearly had a link that said I was checked in and showed there were 0 people in front of me. I’m fine with mistakes just own it. But the rapid test was simple and painless thanks to the PA

I saw good reviews on this place and decided to give it a try. I’m very happy with the experience. The automated system was easy to navigate and when I still had questions the person I spoke to was patient and informative. The virtual visit process was easy to navigate and the provider was a good partner in my son’s care. We did drive up testing and the person that helped us was calm and helpful. Thank you all.

NextCare was able to get my daughter in for a rapid COVID test very quickly. While we were there, the physician suggested that we get her a rapid strep test and a rapid flu test. I totally forgot about strep throat and the flu when all we hear about is COVID. I was grateful for their recommendation. The staff was friendly, timely, and welcoming. I would highly recommend this facility and will plan on using it again.

We were at Next Care to get a COVID test for our granddaughter. We did not go in the facility..doctor came out to our car. I made a reservation for 3:40. We got there at 3:25....called then waited on hold until 4:00 until we were officially checked in. At 4:05 the doctor and assistant came out to the car. They were great...helped Olivia feel comfortable(she’s 14) and waited with us until her blood pressure came down.

Filling out the paperwork was frustrating for me because I didn't have space on my phone to take pictures of my ID and insurance card. But they took very good care of me. And the person that came out to take my test was awesome! Concerned about my asthma and willing to give me help if I need it. I did not so that was great. I was in and out of there pretty quick

We needed to get a rapid antigen covid test quickly because we were exposed to covid and had a lot of family coming into town. Other clinics were out of the test or unavailable. We contacted your clinic, got our tests and results within 2 hours! We can now safely interact with our family with no worries. We are grateful for the efficient, expedient and friendly service that you provided for us!

Th staff was great! My only complaint is that I wasn’t able to talk to someone at the facility to confirm that I could get the test that I wanted prior to me waiting until they called to say I was next. I did call the customer service line and they were super nice but since they weren’t at the facility they couldn’t give me the concrete info I was looking for.

Sat in my car waiting for 30 min after I checked in online. I was there for a Covid test so I was testing to be respectful by waiting in my car. Then I saw people that checked in after me coming off the list so I went inside. Turns out I needed to fill out additional paperwork and that was why I wasn’t being helped. This was never communicated to me.

The lab did not have rapid PCR supplies for our Friday morning test, in preparation for a Sunday international flight. Amy took samples for longer PCR test and made sure results were available before they closed the lab for the weekend. Amy also followed up on her cell to notify us that our results were available on their portal and left a number in case we encountered problems.

First time user and believer! Nextcare made it super easy and the staffer providing the covid test was just awesome, he was sensitive with the swab and we joked the whole time. My only complaint would be the website mislead the services and process causing an extra trip. Someone answered the phone by the second ring each time which is just unheard of in this pandemic environment.. kudos!

- Verified patient on 10/29

Very easy and quick! Booked online, arrived to the appt early, and we were actually done and walking out before the scheduled appt time. Took about 15 minutes total for 2 of us to get tested, and got results about 45 minutes later. The employees were very friendly and welcoming, and the facility was clean and easy to get to and park at. I would recommend this place!

- Verified patient on 9/18

I had glitches trying to enter my paperwork at home. It worked fine outside NextCare. Once information was completed they notified me of people ahead of me and had me wait in the car. A few minutes later they had me enter a patient room. Between swab and result, the Rapid test took around 10 minutes. Staff was friendly and professional. Truly an excellent experience.

Lab Testing in Colorado

Lab tests gather samples of your blood, urine, saliva, and other biological secretions, which are then evaluated in a lab to assist doctors in diagnosing and treating specific health disorders. Lab tests can be used for a variety of purposes, including diagnosing an illness, detecting changes in an existing condition, and assessing how your body responds to a therapy. They can also be used to track the progression of an illness or a group of disorders.

If your healthcare provider is unable to diagnose your condition decisively or if you are experiencing a variety of symptoms that could indicate any number of disorders, he or she may prescribe a lab test. Lab tests may be conducted to see how you're responding to a drug or to see if you're at risk for certain diseases.

Some lab tests require no preparation at all, while others may require you to fast for eight to twelve hours prior to the test in order to avoid particular foods and beverages giving erroneous findings. For several hours or days before your lab test, your healthcare professional may urge you to stop smoking, exercising, and taking certain medications and nutritional supplements.

To avoid erroneous findings and several trips to the lab for additional testing, ask your doctor for specific recommendations to follow before your lab test.To avoid erroneous findings and several trips to the lab for additional testing, ask your doctor for specific recommendations to follow before your lab test.

During a blood test, the lab technician may use a needle to draw blood from your arm or prick your finger to collect a small sample of blood. During a urine test, your provider will instruct you to go to the restroom and urinate in a sterile cup, then place your sample on a shelf where it can be picked up and processed by a lab worker. The lab testing facility's personnel will show you how to execute each sort of test.

Following the receipt of your test results, your doctor may call you to discuss them or to schedule an appointment. Your doctor will explain your results to you and, if required, discuss treatment choices with you.
