This clinic has shorter than average waiting periods

Short Wait Time

I walked into the urgent care and stated I had chest and arm pain. By the time I jotted down my name and address at the counter, I was immediately taken into a room. Within 5 minutes I had a nitro patch on my chest, an EKG, a heparin drip, and morphine. Within another 5 minutes, they had taken blood samples and performed a chest XRAY in my bed. I was checked on every few minutes. They took at least one more blood sample and graciously gave me a little more morphine. In another 20 minutes, the ambulance team of three arrived and my 5-star treatment continued. They took two more EKGs in the ambulance on our trip to Valley Hospital, where I had two stents. I have never, ever experienced this level of efficiency, professionalism, and kindness. Everyone, bar none, treated me like I was royalty. I firmly believe that Elite Medical Center saved my life. The next time I'm in Vegas, I will be dropping by to personally give my thanks. I wasn't up to it before I left for home. From the bottom of my heart, pun intended, THANK YOU!!!

I was very surprised with my experience here. My appointment was made very quickly. I was seen in a very short period of time. My test results came back in a very timely manner. I was able to speak with a doctor soon after and was taking care of. I was very satisfied with the experience I had here. I definitely recommend using them for any issues you have or any questions you may have.

I visited the Care Now located at 5570 Camino Al Norte North Las Vegas, NV 89031 on June 25th, 2023. I have C-PTSD which causes me to have a phobia of blood pressure machines and having my blood pressure taken. I have medical trauma that is related to this. I have been living with this diagnosis and phobia for 10 years. I can't begin to describe how difficult these years have been for me. I have been on NUMEROUS sedatives, tranquilizers, SNRI's and blood pressure medications. In addition to medicine, I have a psychiatrist and therapist to help me work through my CPTSD and phobia. I would have to drug myself into a catatonic state just to visit a doctor. Despite being drug induced, my panic would be through the roof. I live(d) in constant medical fear. It has deeply effected the way I live and who I am as a person. I'm getting emotional just thinking about how many dark nights I have had due to this. I share this because I have avoided getting medical care or pleading with the medical team to avoid taking my BP. You can imagine the insensitive comments I have heard from the medical community. Which only made me feel broken and undeserving of medical care. A couple of days ago, my daughter went with me to this urgent care for treatment. My first interaction was with the lady at the front, Nicole. She is the most calming and kind hearted person I have ever encountered in a medical facility. She treated each person who entered the doors as if they were the only person who mattered. Impeccable customer service. You literally could not have hired a better person for this position. She is what every facility should strive to hire. I hope she knows that she was the first reason I was able to stay calm and not let my anxiety rule me. Her disposition and nature was exactly what I needed in that moment. After that, I was greeted by LaTonya Houston. She walked me back and talked me through the initial questions. When it came time to have my BP taken, I had asked to skip this part due to my C-PTSD and phobia. I fully expected her to dismiss my fears or make some snarky comment about white coat syndrome (even though it's deeper than that). Instead, she treated me like I was a person with feelings. She saw me AND she heard me. I have goosebumps as I write this. She told me that everyone has their own fears and that mine was valid. I have waited 10 years to hear someone from the medical community to say this to me. Together we decided to check my BP with a manual cuff as the automatic one is too much for me. She never complained and she didn't rush me. She treated me as if I was a friend. She calmed my soul. I felt safe with her. She is the ONLY medical person in the last 10 years who has checked my BP without making it traumatic. She did the exact opposite. In fact, this was the first time that I had my BP checked without being over medicated and experiencing panic. And the best part, my BP was a normal reading instead of the typical "any higher and you'll have a stroke" level. LaTonya is someone who I have been praying to encounter in the medical profession. I was in a place of darkness and lacked any confidence in the medical field....then I met LaTonya. This may seem insignificant, however, she was an answer to my prayers. I wish it wouldn't have taken 10 years for me to find her, but I am beyond thankful that our paths crossed. I wish that I could have her anytime I need to go to the doctors. I have been on cloud 9 since meeting her. She has helped lighten my mental load. I will be forever thankful for her and will never forget her. Literally an angel in human form. If she reads this, LaTonya, you have helped heal a part of me that seemed broken. Please know you have made a difference. Laura Brown

North Las Vegas Chickenpox Vaccine

The varicella vaccine, sometimes known as the chickenpox vaccine, can help you avoid contracting the disease. By understanding more about what this immunization does and who should get it, you can make an informed health care decision for yourself and your family.

Chickenpox vaccination: what everyone should know

Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Chickenpox is characterized by an itchy, blister-like rash that appears first on the chest, back, and face before spreading to the rest of the body, according to the CDC. Other symptoms include fever and fatigue.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, two doses of the chickenpox vaccine are around 90% effective in preventing chickenpox, which means you could still get the disease after being vaccinated. Children, adolescents, and adults who have never had chickenpox or been inoculated against it should get this vaccination.

Who needs the chickenpox vaccine?

According to the CDC, children, teens, and adults should receive two doses of the chickenpox vaccine.
Children between the ages of 12 and 15 should receive the first dose of the chickenpox vaccine, and children between the ages of four and six should receive the second dose. Children can take the second dose at a younger age if it is given at least three months after the first, according to the CDC.

Those aged 13 and up who have never had chickenpox or been vaccinated should get two doses spaced by at least 28 days. According to the CDC, the chickenpox vaccine is especially important for healthcare workers, teachers, college students, nursing home patients, and international travelers.
Consult your doctor to see if you need the chickenpox vaccine based on your current health situation.

Who should not get the chickenpox vaccine?

You don't need the vaccine if you show evidence of immunity against chickenpox, according to the CDC. Immunity is demonstrated, among other things, by being born in the United States before 1980 and having a confirmed diagnosis of chickenpox.

According to the CDC, the following people should not obtain the chickenpox vaccine:

  • Those who have suffered a life-threatening reaction to the chickenpox vaccine or any of its components.
  • Those who are moderately or severely ill when their chickenpox immunization appointment is scheduled.
  • Women who are expecting children.

Certain patients should see their doctors before getting the chickenpox vaccine. According to the CDC, this includes:

  • Those who have an illness of the immune system, such as HIV or AIDS.
  • Those who have cancer or are being treated for cancer with radiation or medicines.
  • Those who have received a blood transfusion recently.

Two types of chickenpox vaccines

Two types of chickenpox vaccines are now approved for use in the United States. The vaccines' brand names, according to the CDC, are Varivax® and ProQuad®.

Varivax®

Varivax® contains only the chickenpox vaccination. Adults, teenagers, and children aged 12 months and up are the only ones who can get this vaccine.

ProQuad®

ProQuad® is a vaccine that includes the chickenpox vaccine as well as immunizations for measles, mumps, and rubella. This vaccination is only approved for children ages 12 months to 12 years, according to the CDC.

Getting vaccinated after you are exposed to chickenpox

If you have been exposed to chickenpox, the CDC recommends getting vaccinated within three to five days after contact. It goes on to state that you should get two doses of the vaccine even if you've been exposed for more than five days. Each of these dosages should be separated by at least 28 days.

Childcare and school chickenpox vaccine requirements

If you have been exposed to chickenpox, the CDC recommends getting vaccinated within three to five days after contact. It goes on to state that you should get two doses of the vaccine even if you've been exposed for more than five days. Each of these dosages should be separated by at least 28 days.

Your healthcare practitioner can discuss whether or not your children should get the chickenpox vaccine with you in greater detail based on your family's religious and philosophical beliefs, as well as their medical history.

How can parents pay for the chickenpox vaccine?

The chickenpox vaccination is covered by most health insurance policies, according to the CDC. If your health insurance plan does not cover the cost of your children's chickenpox immunization, the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program may be able to help. The CDC recommends contacting VFC directly to see if you're qualified for financial aid through this program.
