MEDcare Urgent Care, West Ashley, Sam Rittenberg - 1850 Sam Rittenberg Blvd, Charleston
I had brought my fiance there today,all day it had to be his birthday and he was already unhappy. The wait was a bit lond and so was the wait for the dr,Dr G Jones. When she cam in with her assistant,things changed because of the kind caring soul she is. He went for one thing and it turn was helped with a few problems that he had,Dr G Jones was great as was her assistant,but to top it off a big guy came in the room and had to give him a couple of shots,he hates needle but " Vince Vaughn" did a great job too,i just said Vince because he looks like him. I dont believe the bad reviews people write on here,this was 2 times and they were great for us.. Love them and they are great providers for us ans the community in which they serve.

MEDcare Urgent Care, North Charleston, Rivers Ave - 8740 Rivers Ave, North Charleston
To the Owner: please remember that your front line people represent your Center as a first impression. If you call and the receptionist gives you a negative attitude bbecause you asked a question that required more than a yes or no answer, she sighs and says "ok, I'll check" you already get the impression that this is not a top notch Center willing to find the the information you are requesting without sounding like it is an inconvenience. Is an online check in a feature you offer? I cant tell. Your web site mention in one ad but not another and your staff doesnt mention it. Your front line people must be equally receptive to telephone and in person inquiries. They need to realize that they work for the patient and family foremost. Also, if you have been referred to an online schedule to see which doc or PA or NP is working, then it should be much easier to locate and it should be user friendly to decipher. It is not difficult to design a simple staff schedule intended to assist patients rather than one designed for staff. Since you are listed as primary care, your patients should be able to find out if "their" doctor is on duty, quickly and easily. With a few changes, your Center could be consistently rated 5's. I have been a nurse manager most of my career so I hope you see my suggestions in the positive light they were intended. A little privacy at the check in desk would also be appreciated by most patients. Thank you for providing space for patients & families to comment.

I took my elderly mother in for a Covid test on Monday night December 7th about 7:00 pm. We were treated cordially from the receptionist from the moment we walked in the door. The nurse who performed the test was gentle and explained the procedure to my mother. In addition, the doctor was concerned and asked my mother all the appropriate questions. There is no doubt I will use this facility in the future and recommend it to my friends, too. Great experience!

Dr Shannon Long is super and you couldn't do better. The nurse was friendly enough but I had very little interaction with her. However, they have Godzilla at the reception area so be prepared. I understand the times we are in with the virus, but there is NO need to be rude and disrespectful !! I am 66 years old and am not used to being barked at in a paying doctors office, I nearly walked out. There are far too many of these type places on almost every corner so she needs to check herself. I did report her to the headquarters in Texas.

What is urgent care?

Urgent care is a category of walk-in clinic focused on the delivery of immediate, non-life-threatening care in a dedicated medical facility outside of a traditional emergency room. Urgent care centers primarily treat injuries or illnesses requiring immediate care, but not serious enough to require an ER visit. These centers are equipped to provide swift, on-the-spot care for a wide range of minor to moderate medical needs, often at a fraction of the cost and wait time of an emergency room visit.

Common services and reasons for visit

Urgent care centers in Charleston, SC, offer a broad spectrum of services to cater to various medical needs. These services are designed to provide immediate relief for non-life-threatening conditions, and include but are not limited to:

  • Diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses such as colds, flu, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and strep throat

  • Management of chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes, and high blood pressure

  • Treatment of minor injuries such as sprains, strains, minor fractures, and cuts

  • Preventive care services such as vaccinations, health screenings, and physical exams

  • Diagnostic services including lab tests and x-rays

Common reasons for visiting an urgent care center include minor injuries, acute illnesses, or when your primary care physician is not available.

Types of healthcare providers

When you visit an urgent care center in Charleston, SC, you can expect to meet a variety of healthcare providers, each with a specific role in your care. These may include:

When to go to an urgent care

Urgent care centers are designed to provide immediate, non-life-threatening healthcare services. They are an excellent choice when you need quick medical attention but can't wait for a scheduled appointment with your primary care provider. Common reasons to visit an urgent care center in Charleston, SC include minor fractures, sprains, burns, cuts requiring stitches, severe cold or flu symptoms, and urinary tract infections. Urgent care centers also offer diagnostic services like X-rays and lab tests, making them a convenient option for comprehensive care.

Urgent care vs emergency room (ER)

While both urgent care centers and emergency rooms provide immediate care, they serve different purposes. ERs are equipped to handle life-threatening conditions like heart attacks, strokes, severe wounds, and major trauma. Urgent care centers, on the other hand, are ideal for non-emergency situations that still require immediate attention. They are typically more cost-effective and have shorter wait times than ERs. However, if you believe your life is at risk, always go to the ER or call 911.

Urgent care vs primary care

Primary care providers are your go-to for regular check-ups, preventive healthcare, and managing chronic conditions. They know your health history and work with you to maintain your overall health. Urgent care centers, on the other hand, are designed for immediate, one-off treatments when your primary care provider is unavailable or you need care outside of regular office hours. While urgent care centers can't replace the ongoing relationship you have with your primary care provider, they are a great resource for immediate, non-emergency care.

Urgent care vs retail clinic

Retail clinics, often found in pharmacies or supermarkets, are convenient for minor health issues like colds, flu, minor cuts, and skin conditions. They are typically staffed by nurse practitioners or physician assistants and offer a limited range of services. Urgent care centers offer a broader range of services, including X-rays and lab tests, and are staffed by physicians. They can handle more serious conditions that are not life-threatening. Both options offer extended hours and don't require an appointment, but for more complex care, an urgent care center in Charleston, SC would be a more suitable choice.

Preparing for Your Visit

Before your visit to an urgent care center, there are several steps you can take to ensure a smooth experience. First, make sure to bring a valid form of identification and your insurance card. If you're currently taking any medications, bring a list of these, including dosages. Additionally, it's helpful to have a brief summary of your medical history and any current symptoms you're experiencing. If you have any specific health concerns or questions, jot these down so you remember to discuss them during your visit.

During Your Visit

During your urgent care visit, you can expect to be treated by a team of healthcare professionals who are equipped to handle a wide range of non-emergency conditions. After checking in, you'll typically go through a triage process where a nurse will take your vital signs and ask about your symptoms. Then, you'll see a healthcare provider who will diagnose and treat your condition.

Additional Services

Many urgent care centers also offer additional services such as lab tests, x-rays, and vaccinations. If these services are needed, they can usually be provided during your visit.

Follow-up Care and Communication

After your visit, you may receive a follow-up call or email to check on your recovery. This is also a time when you can ask any additional questions about your treatment or care. If you were prescribed medication, make sure to take it as directed and contact the clinic if you have any concerns or side effects.

Cost and Insurance Details

The cost of an urgent care visit can vary, but generally, you can expect to pay between $71 and $125 out of pocket for basic care. Additional services like shots, x-rays, and labs will incur extra costs. This is significantly less than a comparable visit to the emergency room, which averages around $1,318.

Most urgent care centers accept insurance, reducing the out-of-pocket cost for many patients. Additionally, these centers typically accept both Medicare and Medicaid. Always check with the specific clinic regarding their payment and insurance policies.

As I learned earlier today that a relative tested positive for COVID 19 and I was around him last week, I needed to find a testing site to know my health status. Your clinic allowed me access to a rapid test that resulted in a negative result. Your staff were very caring and professional in providing this service to me. I was asked if I had questions after receiving my results and each question was thoroughly answered. Thank you to all the staff involved with my visit to Brocken to Better Urgent Care.

We decided to do our Sports physicals today because we had such a positive experience when we had to come a few weeks ago for an emergency situation with poison ivy. I was very apprehensive to go anywhere due to Covid however we were very pleased and decided that we had no reservations about doing our sports physicals there since it was not time for a well visit at our family doctor. The PA Liz is fantastic!!! She’s very professional, very personable and has a wonderful bedside manner. Olivia, at the front desk, is equally as kind and friendly and makes coming to Broken to Better a Wonderfull experience!! We were encouraged by our Friend and Pharmacist at Goods Pharmacy to try your Urgent care when my daughter needed care on a Sunday due to her poison ivy that was spreading into her eyes and we could not have made a better choice!

Amazing doctors and they had me in and out in less than 30 mins! Best urgent care center that I’ve ever been to! 10/10 recommend

- Verified patient on 1/4

Broken To Better is by far the best urgent care provider I've used in Rock Hill (my regular doctor is good at keeping up with scheduled needs, but as with most such practices, hard to see on really short notice, or on weekends, etc.)... Dr, Baker is not only really competent, with access to a large network of expert "consulting" folks), but is-- and this is so important-- KIND and THOUGHTFUL. I not only felt like I was getting attentive, expert care, but also truly COMPASSIONATE, CONCERNED care. And that's rare in today's medical marketplace. Every member of the staff there was really on top of things, and truly kind and considerate. I can't imagine using another urgent care provider locally!

- Verified patient on 2/13

Really nice urgent care office. The staff was super friendly listened to my concerns. Maria, Heather, and Liz were so nice and professional.

- Verified patient on 1/11

Broken to Better Urgent Care is a great place. The nurse and Dr. Baker are so nice. Dr. Baker actually listened to my concerns and did not rush my appointment. She did not just send me away and brush off my symptoms. She thoroughly examined me and prescribed meds to relieve symptoms while waiting for COVID results. My results were back in 2 days. The facility was really clean and professional looking. It was super easy to book an appointment online and barely any wait time. I was in and out in a very timely manner. I will definitely be going to this urgent care from now on when I get sick and will highly recommend to family and friends!!!

I can’t say this was my favorite because I have no others to compare it to. I was unable to get into my doctor today and they suggested an Urgent Care. Since I frequent that shopping center I went there and was pleasantly surprised. Very efficient people in the back

- Verified patient on 8/20

I have referred several patients to this clinic, but it was the first time I had a need myself. They are quick but not rushed, courteous and thorough. I am thankful to have them nearby - the only option we had before was the urgent care.

- Verified patient on 1/13

I made an appointment on line and filled out the information. I was seen really quickly. The staff is very professional and friendly. The doctor is wonderful. She asked a lot of questions, did a hands-on exam, asked about medicines I have used and “called in” a prescription. This is the Urgent Care I will be using.

- Verified patient on 5/31

This is the best urgent care I have ever been to. They got me in and out with no problems. Friendly 🥰
