Pediatric urgent care near me in Parkville, MD

My name is Patricia Heist and I was seen by Dr Garcia -Faust on 9/5/19. She was very nice and explained everything to me. The staff was very nice. This is not my first time there but i do know if I need medical care this is the first place I will go. You don't sit there all day like you do in emergency rooms.

Due to the fact that I had a fever and possibly covid, was referred to the Choice One Urgent care on Rock Spring Rd, Forest Hill, MD. I was seen by Dr. George LaRocco who was concerned due to my age, covid test positive, symptoms, and chest x-ray showing some pneumonia. He sent the necessary paperwork to the new UMS monoclonal antibody infusion experimental program. They accepted me and I was seen the very next day for treatment. Upon completion of the infusion all vitals seemed good, experienced one reaction on the way home and that was a spiked fever and extreme body shakes. After approximately an hour or so, things settled down. It is 2 days post infusion and I am feeling better, fevers are down and almost gone, other symptoms have improved as well. I want to personally thank Dr. LaRocco for taking that extra time to get me into this program since it likely kept me out of the hospital. Much appreciated Dr. LaRocco and team at the ChoiceOne Urgent Care, Forest Hill, MD. My sincere thanks.
