Reviewed on Nov 2019 My daughter was seen and diagnosed with Pink Eye. The doctor was nice and so was the staff. We have been coming here for years and never had a bad experience. Thank you urgent care!
Reviewed on Sep 2019 I took my deaf son in for possible pink eye. Everyone was polite and professional. The wait time was short. The nurse took into consideration his allergies while treating him and developed a treatment that addressed his symptoms. It was a very positive experience.
Reviewed on Aug 2019 Went in with pink eye and really felt lousy. In a matter of minutes I was taking care of and medicine was prescribed. This facility is so clean it’s ridiculous. The staff is very professional and friendly and greeted me with a warm hello. I recommend this facility to anyone who is in need of medical attention without reservation.

What is Pink Eye?
A pink eye exam tests for pink eye, which is swelling of the clear tissue over the white part of the eye that lines the inside of the eyelid. Pink eye is common in children and it can spread quickly throughout daycares and schools. Pink eye can be caused by bacteria, viruses (including the one that causes the common cold), an allergic reaction, and a reaction to eye drops. It can also be caused by parasites, amoebas, and fungi or could come from a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Your doctor can usually tell what caused your pink eye based on your medical history, your symptoms, and an examination of your eye(s). Some of the symptoms of pink eye are swelling and redness. Your doctor might take a sample of eye discharge from your eye and send it off to the lab to help figure out which type you have and the best way to treat it. At times, it might be hard to make a diagnosis because sometimes the symptoms are different on a case-by-case basis. You should see your doctor as soon as possible if you think you might have gotten pink eye from someone who has it. Call your child's pediatrician if your child might have gotten it from someone at school or daycare.

Treatment & Services
Doctors who specialize in the treatment of allergies are known as allergists, and they can provide a
number of helpful services when you schedule an appointment with them. For example, you might schedule a
visit if you’re suffering from unexplained sneezing, stuffy nose, breathing problems, or itchiness that
you think may be related to an allergy. An allergist can perform an allergy test to find the cause of your
symptoms so you can avoid your triggers.
Specific types of allergy diagnostic testing include patch testing, skin testing to foods, antibiotics, aeroallergen, and bee venom. If your allergist does determine you have an allergy, they can treat your allergies to reduce your symptoms. Other health issues an allergist can sometimes treat include asthma, eczema, sinusitis, and immunodeficiency disorders. In many cases, your doctor might refer you to an allergist if they suspect an allergy is the cause of your health issues and can’t find anything else wrong.
Insurance & Cost
Luckily, allergists accept health insurance. However, because an allergist is a specialist, you will
probably need a referral from your primary doctor before you can make an appointment. If you don’t get a
referral, your insurance company may refuse to pay your bills. Typically, a visit to an allergist will
cost you a specialist co-pay that’s usually between $10 and $60. Then, you’ll also need to pay for whatever
testing is done at the visit. Some insurance companies cover testing right away, while others make you
reach your deductible first. In either case, you’ll probably have a co-pay, meaning you’ll have to pay
10% to 20% of the bill.
If you don’t have insurance, skin allergy tests can cost between $60 to $300. Blood tests are a little
more expensive, with an average range between $200 to $1,000. Of course, costs also vary depending on
what you’re being tested for, so always consult your allergist directly to determine the true cost of
your care.

Appointments
Rather than waste time dialing every doctor in the area, simplify your appointment setting
by using Solv. Solv lets you find allergists near you and book
a same-day appointment entirely online – meaning you won’t have to waste your day trying to find a doctor
with openings.
Unless you need recurring allergy treatments, you probably won’t have to schedule regular appointments.
Most people only see an allergist when they’re experiencing specific symptoms, so plan for one or two
appointments at most. When you come to the appointment, bring all the information you have about your
symptoms as well as what you think might be possible triggers. If the allergist decides to perform a skin
allergy test, expect the procedure to take between 20 and 40 minutes.
Usually, allergists maintain normal office hours during the day. Some may stay open later on weeknights or on the weekend to accommodate people who work or go to school.
