Mid Atlantic Urgent Care

My son dropped a weight on his finger in gym. They took an x-​ray, splinted the finger and referred us to an orthopedist all in an hour — an that was at 7:30 PM. Dr. Trachiotis was caring, quick and professional. So nice to have a facility like this in the neighborhood.

No matter what you need, no matter if it says they’re open until 9, they won’t let you in after 8:30. So much for a place that’s supposed to be about HEALING!

I am not one to go to a doctor, unless I absolutely have to. With that said, I found myself absolutely needing to on a Monday morning. I did some quick research and selected here.
I arrived right when they opened at 9 am, and I was the first one here. They had me fill out some quick paperwork, and I was almost immediately escorted back. The staff was all very kind to me, and I never found myself waiting for more than a few minutes.
The PA who treated me, Rebecca, was one of the nicest medical professionals I have met in a long time.
I left with the prescription that I needed, and they followed up with me a few days later.
I would absolutely recommend coming here, if you are looking for a professional, quick, understanding experience.

Took my 3 year old tonight after a finger got squished. Great to find a nearby urgent care that takes small children. The wait was only 30 minutes at 6:30pm, even with many people coming after work. They did an x-​ray on site and cleaned up his wound. Dr. Jean was very patient and gentile and my son, who had originally refused to see a doctor, said «She sure was a nice doctor» as we were leaving. Hard to get a better review than that.

I just went and saw Dr. Jean. She was extremely professional and thorough and very helpful. I had no appointment and waited only about 15 minutes. The receptionist was also very nice and helpful. I was also pleased because they took my relatively obscure insurance. I really recommend this place — much better than other urgent care clinics I’ve used.

I arrived on a Monday in a pinch because I felt a bad cold coming on and had to travel for business the same day. I popped into this Urgent Care hoping to be patched up as best as possible before having to get on a plane and ending up feeling potentially worse.
I waited in the lobby for about 45 minutes and then was taken to a room to have my vitals checked. After my vitals were checked I was advised that the doctor would be in shortly. Let me say that they have VERY thin walls here. I spent another 45 minutes listening to the man in the room next to me talk about how it burns when he urinates. The doctor came in, told me I had heartburn, and was out within 5 minutes. I left feeling silly that I had confused heartburn with illness. Now, I am stuck in Minnesota 2 days later with the most insane chest congestion and flu like symptoms I have ever experienced. I called back to the Urgent Care asking if they could help me by sending me a prescription or something and they can’t. I kind of feel tricked and am definitely disappointed.

The doctor that I saw ordered lab work outside of what I asked for and outside of what is indicated as routine costing me $ 1200. As a healthcare provider myself, I was appalled in what was ordered. Lesson learned, not every physician follows current guidelines and some are just looking to tack on additional charges for their benefit.

NICE SURPRISE… FOR AN EMERGENCY.
I recently had to visit this center unexpectedly and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. The waiting room was clean, the ladies at the front desk ladies were efficient and sincere… and Dr. Jean gave a thorough exam with helpful recommendations. My wait was not long and I felt reassured after my visit. I recommend this crew if you’re in the area and your own doctor isn’t readily available.

Very clean facility in a convenient location. Receptionist was friendly and the doctor (with a Polish last name) was great! We walked in on a Sunday, filled out the paperwork, and was called in under five minutes. Couldn’t have asked for faster or better service. So glad that we chose this location. Thanks Unilocal

I tried this place once.

This place is an absolute waste of time — recommend not even trying. I visited the clinic for an upper respiratory/​sinus infection because I did not have time to visit my regular PCP. After paying a $ 75 dollar copay, I waited for 30 minutes to be seen (I was the second person in the building).
The «doctor» I saw, Nancy Saunders, told me that an antibiotic was not necessary after examining me for 5 (!) minutes. She «prescribed» me a nasal spray along with an at home plan (ie — Ibuprofen, decongestant). I went to my pharmacy to pick up my nasal spray prescription, only to find out that it was OVER THE COUNTER. I wasted $ 125 and my time for them to tell me NOTHING.

Dr. Jean is amazing. Choose this urgent care location as they have more options and care.

Rebecca the Physicians Assistant and Dora the Lab Professional were absolutely outstanding with their thoroughness and customer service.
I’m extremely pleased.

Nurse that was helping me was eyre melt snobby; after checking blood pressure and heart, she just tries to leave, and I ask her
Isn’t this where you go over what the number are and what they mean? She says «oh, the doctors will go over that»
Went in for a rib issue, notified the doctor that I was in severe pain-​and she comes back after the x-​Rays saying that it’s just bruised. Well, I got another x-​ray some else where due to not believing her.
As it turns out, I have a fractured top rib

Mid Atlantic medical care is conveniently located and takes most insurances and like most urgent care clinics is open when you aren’t working. In addition, the offices are very clean and new which is a nice plus.
However, I’m writing this review because you have to remember that when you go on nights and weekends (like when most folks with 9 – 5 jobs go), you will in all liklihood get to see a physicians assistant (PA) instead of a MD or DO. There is a difference between the education and certification requirements between a PA and MD and it shows in their ability to diagnose patients.
I fell on the ice one Sunday and went to Mid-​Atlantic urgent care that same day. I was examined and was diagnosed with a thigh contusion. Fast forward about two weeks later, and I saw a orthopedic surgeon who immediately diagnosed me with a strained MCL and strained ankle in addition to the thigh contusion. He also prescribed me strong pain medication so I could sleep at night, 6 – 8 week of physical therapy, and both knee and ankle braces.
So my advice to you, is Mid Atlantic Urgent care is just fine for cold/​flue and minor accidents. However, if you are in real pain, go there during the day on weekdays when you are more likely to see a real doctor (as with all urgent care places) who is more likely to diagnose you correctly.

I have been here three times. The first two were for me and the third (tonight) was for my wife who had been suffering from flu-​like symptoms. Yesterday, we had spent three hours at the Inova Urgent Care in Ballston (see review) where they were unable to diagnose my wife’s illness despite running a flu test. That experience made me appreciate the service and professionalism at Mid Atlantic Both were outstanding, quick, and courteous. The flu test came back positive and the doctor prescribed some medicine to help her feel better.

Thank you! For being open on weekends, for exposing yourself to sick people, and for making us better.
I don’t have a DR and primarily use urgent care centers if I ever have an issue. I was as sick as I can ever recall being. I was sick for 9 days… Could not sleep, coughing, intense pain, etc. I went Sunday morning (arrived at 9:55 and there were already cars waiting for the doors to open at 10am). They opened on time, were prompt about getting patients paperwork complete, were very polite, and pushed patients through quickly. I explained the situation, a few rest were run, and a few minutes later I was on my way to get meds. I’m still sick and I haven’t gotten my bill but the experience was very positive and I feel tons better knowing I have meds and will get better.
I also had no insurance cards and they worked through that with a smile.

Arrived when the office opened at 9:00 and was in and out in under 30 minutes. All the staff and doctors were very kind, did not make me go through several tests to diagnose that I had a sinus infection. Quick and painless visit. Would definitely go back to in the future.

So overall, the doctors do a great job. I got my finger stitched up the other week here, and it’s healing beautifully. Convenient location and nice staff. Downside is billing and the wait time.

The clinic was clean and efficient and I was in and out in less than 45 minutes. However, my PA had no idea what was wrong with me. She asked another PA for a second opinion and they didn’t know either.
I guess I would recommend this place if you have a more general/​common issue that needs immediate attention (cold/​cough etc) but I wouldn’t recommend coming for skin-​related problems unless you want to be poked and prodded and then told to see a dermatologist.
