AtlantiCare Urgent Care

Even with really good insurance I still had a $ 70 co-​pay. I figured I wouldn’t mind paying that since there are «real ER doctors here». My hospital ER co-​pay is $ 100. I took a chance because I was uncomfortable with my son being so sick & it was a holiday weekend, it was a long 4 days & he had been sick on & off for about 4 weeks. I didn’t want to wait another day to take him to his doctor, yet felt it was unnecessary to take him to ER.
So he was examined by this doctor for all of 3 minutes. Understandable. My son had all the signs & symptoms of a nagging cough/​cold/​allergies with non threatening fever. But the issue that I had was that it was persistent. I heard him wheeze the night before and whatever was wrong with him was only getting worse, not better.
The doctor told me to be patient, kids get sick, wait it out, yada yada. Fine. I left not feeling comfortable. I had the «hypochondriac Mom» label on me when I left. I was very frustrated. One, because I spent $ 70 to be told he was fine. Two, because maybe I just felt they could have done SOMETHING else…
So of course since my instincts told me something was still wrong… I take him back to his pediatrician who then nose swabs him for bacterial infections that I’ve never heard of. Sure enough he tested positive for one & needed to be put on a strong antibiotic right away.
I know doctors aren’t perfect but for $ 70, for a place that wasn’t crowded and especially for my 3 year old who has been sick but «appeared» to be in good spirits maybe a little more effort would have gone a longer way.
Moms:trust your instincts!

I was in & out! The staff is perfectly friendly & professional! Ladies were perfect! Will recommend to all! Better than my doctors office for sure!

I’ve only been here once and sadly will never go back. When I first walked in, the place is very nice, ten times nicer than any other urgent care I have been too (but there is a reason for this). My experience there was okay, nothing special but they did fix my illness. Well after it all, I received a bill in the mail for it since my insurance only covers a percentage of urgent care (I am used to this since I’ve been to others). Well this bill caught me off guard because it was 3 times more than any other bill. After looking more, I realized that this urgent care charges over 3 times more than an other urgent care I have been too for a doctor visit. Now I knew why the place was so nice (and also empty because I am sure everyone knows to stay away).
Well it was a learning experience for me, now I know that all urgent cares don’t charge around the same since this place charges an absurd amount and obviously doesn’t let you know ahead of time. I also now know to never step foot in this place again. I actually think it may cost the same to go there as it does to get an ambulance ride to the ER.

My husband has gone to this urgent care facility twice in the last two years. They are conveniently located and very nice. I’ve never waited very long at all and they are clean.
My husband went for kidney stones and a spider bite. Both times were quick and accurate.
