Urgent Care Of Morro Bay

I have used their services over the years, was happy to have a local urgent care option. However, I went in after work and get a flu shot and was unhappy to discover that they are now charging an extra fee for weekdays after 5:30 and weekends. This is very difficult for those of us who work and can’t get into the clinic during work hours. I have unliked them on Facebook and feel compelled to inform other folks of their new fees here on Unilocal.Sorry, I had been very happy to use your services over the years.

Grim. I stood in line with blood dripping down my face from a head wound for about five minutes and left without being greeted. Judging by the receptionist’s hacking, phlegmy cough, this would be a good place to go if you’re hoping to catch tuberculosis to get out of jury duty or court– mandated rehab. There were about 8 stone-​faced people miserably waiting to be seen, and the palpable scent of despair suggested that they had been waiting a very long time. I was not going to be one of them, so I turned on heel and drove to San Louis Obispo.

In and out quickly. Expensive… but they were fast and prompt.

I would normally give this 5 stars, every time I’ve been there, except for today I’ve received excellent care. TOday I saw PA Julie Kelly, I got my phone out to show her a pic of the prescription I normally get for my annual bout of bronchitis and a photo of my granddaughter accidentally showed up. She said, I’m really busy I don’t have time to look at pictures of your grandkids. Really? Then she wanted me to get some otc stuff, long story she wasy rude and when I saw people at the pharmacy they were telling me how rude she was to them.

The lady at the frony desk was extremely rude and short with us, kept interrupting and ignoring what we were saying. Obviously this business likes to choose who they will let see a dr, regardless of whag insurance you have. Very discriminating.

After the usual running around to get a referral from my primary doc (who is great, just there’s a three week delay to get in to see him), I took my chances and went in to Urgent Care of Morro Bay. Yes, I spent a bit of time in the waiting room (watching some good house flipping TV shows), and then Michael was AWESOME in patiently and competently getting to the heart of my matter and writing up the referral I needed. A very helpful, direct, and effective visit. Thank you!

Second great experience here in the last year. They saw me fairly quickly, very kind friendly staff.

Sunday, only had to wait less than one hour to see the staff. Reception was excellent and professional. RN-​Rick, excellent. PA-​Tab, excellent. Just a few stitches and some advice, and I’m out the door to recovery. What a great team! Thank You

This review is for Dr. Julie at Morro Bay Urgent Care. After 3 misdiagnosis in 2 months, I’m done with her. For those of us without insurance, you pay $ 105 before being seen, then another $ 68 or so after being seen. My best friend and cousin have also been misdiagnosed by her this year.

This place is a scam. First off, they have a neon sign in their window that said OPEN when I got there, and their website says they are open until 7. I got there with a screaming 4 year old today at 6:40 and was told that the doctor «refuses to see patients after 6:30». If that’s the case, then WHAT DOES THE OPEN SIGN MEAN!!! They are definitely NOT open until 7:00. They need to change their hours to say 6:30 if that’s the case, Otherwise WTF are they «open» for? Just to turn people away? I purposefully left my house at 6:30 because I needed to feed the screaming four year old dinner before taking her on a few-​hours excursion to urgent care and the pharmacy. I then had to turn and drive back to SLO (we live in Los Osos and I had just picked her up from school at 5:00 in SLO) and go to the ONE urgent care there still open at 7:05. I know this is a small town, but when you advertise that you’re open until 7, don’t turn away legitimately sick CHILDREN at 6:40. EFF this place for doing so. They should be seriously ashamed for false advertising and for turning away a kid with a horrible double ear infection. NEVER AGAIN.

I want to thank mike, the PA, for his abundant knowledge of things otherwise overlooked by others. I went in with a thought that I could have pink eye. Having never had it before I didn’t really know what to expect but something told me it wasn’t. I saw mike and he immediately picked up on the fact that I did not have pink eye. He told me he believed it was iritis (who’s ever heard of it?). Well Mike was right! As usual!!! I went to an ophthalmologist today and was officially diagnosed. Because of Mike it was caught super early and I should have no long lasting effects! THANKS MIKE!!!

Wonderful reception, nice staff. Great overall experience. I can now get back to my fun weekend getaway. Thank you!

The health care providers at Urgent Care of Morro Bay saved my Thanksgiving and my vacation! I had cut my hand badly while up in Cambria and came here to get it stitched up. All personnel –receptionist, nurse, PA – were kind and patient and professional. I felt safe and well-​cared for. My mishap had happened at lunch so I hadn’t eaten. The dear young lady who was the nurse gave me some of her snack to help me feel better. The PA who did the stitches was so calm and steady and explained everything clearly. I am totally impressed but I kinda hope I don’t have to go back anytime I’m visiting Cambria!

I live in San Simeon and this is my closest urgent care. Great location if you need to go to Albertsons and RiteAid afterwards. Nice Hispanic female receptionist at front desk gave Blue Cross insurance info, paid 15 buck co-​pay. Nurse Rick very professional and nice. Nurse practitioner (white female 40s pretty, no nonsense very professional) took care of my wife’s health issue which was a long drawn out cold with the works. Giving strong cough syrup and instructions of what to get at Rite Aid over the counter meds. Hope we never have to go back unless health issues force us to.

Quick, friendly service on a Sunday. The PA and staff were very sweet to my 90 year old mother

Last I checked it was called Urgent Care for a reason… I went in on Sunday morning during their normal hours of business for a bladder infection… they asked me to read a yellow placard placed on their counter… it says that there would be an extra charge for ‘off hours’ which I took to mean if they got called in… they then proceeded to charge me an additional $ 50 because it was a Sunday… they charge extra on weekdays from 5−7pm, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. I was livid! When I asked why — you’re open — the front office guy was incredibly rude and arrogant!!! I will never return and I will spread the word… I then went to Med Stop in SLO, paid $ 15 and was treated with total professionalism!!! The staff there was wonderful and they were incredibly thorough…

I am in the healthcare biz and was very disappointed coming to Morro Bay’s Urgent Care. Even though I was the only person in the waiting room, I was taken to a room only to wait for an hour and a half! Gee, I know people gotta take a lunch break but WTF?! PAC Jennifer Costanzo saw me for a bad back injury and let me say that was the MOST EXPENSIVE MOTRIN AND SILLY NORCO ⁵⁄₃₂₅ I HAVE EVER HAD! I tried to ask for something stronger after a $ 150 visit and the receptionist even laughed and said «I doubt it. she doesn’t write for anything stronger» She is not a true health care provider. She just wanted me to go and spend more money at another facility! All she did was hear me breathe!!! Big Fat Joke this place is! AND the dude in the front is totally RUDE! Makes you wonder why he is even in this field. BOTTOM LINE– WASTE OF TIME– WASTE OF MONEY-DON’T BOTHER!!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

I made the mistake of going to this place.
First and foremost, the receptionist (guy) is not helpful and extremely rude. I called a few times before and he was unwilling to help and see if my insurance is accepted. After going in, I told him he was unhelpful and he literally threw my insurance card on the table and responded «we don’t have to see you here.» I noticed with other customers as well, that he was short in his responses and unwilling to help answer questions the patients had.
His mannerisms don’t fit the environment. People need help when they aren’t feeling well and he made the experience even harder.
The doctor was in and out in five minutes and I really didn’t get an answer. I was told to go to the hospital and get further labs and tests done.
A total waste of time and money.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS…

It’s urgent care. I received quick service and have no issues. People should note that they open at 7 am, not 9 as listed some places.
I think it is a mistake to expect urgent care offices to perform procedures better handled by a specialist or hospital. These guys noted my strep, sold me the proper antibiotic, and the entire transaction took maybe a half hour at the most.

Front desk assured us they take Aetna insurance, so we brought in
Our 3 sick kids in a total of 4 times in a week, come to find out they don’t take Aetna, and they sent us a bill. How is it our fault? their employee doesn’t know what insurance they take or don’t take… Lucky for them my wife is a total push over, I’d hire a lawyer if they sent us to collections
