Barton Urgent Care and Family Practice

Very happy with the service on all fronts. Went there with a ski injury and received high quality and efficient care.

These guys are nice, friendly, efficient, and professional. We are visiting from SO CAL and after my daughter injured herself snowboarding a local recommended this place as opposed to either the hospital or other urgent care facilities. We made it in just in time before closing, but you were never know that we were the «late patient»… thanks guys– and we are all done!

We had to wait, but that is what an urgent care is all about. First come, first serve usually.
Staff is friendly and very attentive once you get seen.
Short of going to the hospital this is the place to go if you have a minor-​moderate emergency or illness

Wonderful staff and doctors. They got me in, took xrays, and diagnosed in a short time.
Unfortunately they are out of network but there was no way I was driving to RENO for medical attention.

Came here when my husband unfortunately got sick during our winter family trip. We decided to Coke here because it was the closest urgent care by Heavenly. We were not disappointed!
It’s by walk-​in appointments only and luckily they weren’t busy when we got there. My husband just needed to fill out some paperwork and the staff took him in the back to get checked out.
The staff were super nice and helpful and courteous. They were able to get an X-​ray, diagnose, explain to my husband and I what was going on, prescribe my husband medications, and discharge us within an hour and a half.
Overall, unfortunate that we needed to visit this place during our vacation but greatly appreciate all the staff!

I injured my foot during my vacation in the Lake Tahoe area. (7÷13÷15) Painful, swollen, bruised. My friends (nurses & nurse practitioners) strongly suggested I see a physician to determine if I had soft tissue injury or a break. Another friend in healthcare strongly recommended Barton. I am so glad I drove from Incline Village to S. Lake Tahoe to be seen in Urgent Care. The receptionist was friendly. The wait not long. But best of all was the competence, care, & relaxed & friendly demeanor of the physician. He obviously enjoyed his work. He took the X-​rays himself and was encouraging in his opinion that ice, elevation & common sense was the best treatment.
I hope no one has to utilize Barton Urgent Care, but if you do, you’ll be in God hands.

My son stuck his hands in the car door and we were not sure if he broke some bones on his finger (he is just over 2 years old). He was fine, fortunately, but obviously not happy about going to Urgent Care right when we got there. He was really fighting going there and screaming at the top of his lungs. I have to say the entire staff was amazing — the nurses greeted us, the receptionist was incredibly kind and tried to help me calm my son. The put us in a room, got my son stickers, did everything they could to make him feel calm. The head nurse even gave me the option to leave because my basically doing some tests she felt he was fine and said I did not have to worry. We did indeed see the doctor who was incredibly calming, gentle and really knew how to deal with toddlers. Really amazing experience. I am from the Bay Area and wish the Urgent Care facilities would learn a thing or 2 from the way the nurses, especially, behaved and catered to helping you. Hope I never ever to go there again, but had a very pleasant experience overall.

Had a great experience here!
Sunday morning on our Tahoe vacation our 4yo woke up with a severe earache.
Reception ladies were mostly rude and unfriendly but the nurse and Dr. Rork were wonderful and had great bedside manner with my little one. Dr. Rork answered all my questions and didn’t make me feel rushed.
We were in and out within 30 minutes, although we were the first people there that day.

Barton as a company needs to focus on their receptionists and nurses customer service training. Completely unacceptable service, receptionists are VERY rude and incredibly ignorant to their job, and the nurses, they are no better. Next time you break your foot, drive to Reno, the care provided is worth it.

Absolutely excellent care for young children. My son (5yrs) was treated today for a buckle fracture to his wrist. Everyone from reception to the X-​ray TRC were amazing! I highly recommend this location.

I have had to take my son here twice in the last year because his regular doctor was unable to get him in (Grrr…another complaint for another day).
Once was for a badly sprained ankle/​fractured growth plate. The wait time was about 15 minutes… not bad. The nurse and Dr. were very nice. Took xrays and said they needed to refer out to orthopedics.
Second time was for what I thought was strep. Same wait time, not bad. Turned out to be Influenza A. Nurse Practitioner was great, very nice and friendly.
Front desk staff needs to be a little more welcoming/​on their game, but overall this is a great place to go in a pinch.

While visiting Lake Tahoe I suddenly experienced a dramatic bout with food poisoning. After a long night My Fiancé called the clinic and they told him to bring me in immediately. Upon arrival I could barely walk and was severely dehydrated. I could not keep anything in my system. I was quickly checked in and evaluated by the nurse practitioner. I waited about 20 min and was taken in to see the doctor. He was very thorough and quickly diagnosed I was dehydrated and put me on an IV and prescribed medicine to relieve my nausea. The entire staff were caring and sensitive to my situation. And continually checked on me while I was getting my treatment. Thank you to everyone for your professionalism and skill. I was able to enjoy the rest of my vacation.

I wasn’t thrilled about going to such a big clinic because they are closed at least so busy but when you have medical or /​income issues you really don’t have great choice so I was holding my breath about which provider I was going to get because I just got out of the hospital for pancreatitis and I had to follow up with a doctor and you know they only give you 20 minutes for these appointments and you know needed to be longer cuz we had a lot of things to talk about so when I got there of course it was busy but they have a nice you know reading selection and you can actually borrow books when you’re there so I made myself relaxed about a half an hour later I got called back and I met my nurse practitioner who’s also a prescriber and his name is Brian and oh my god Ryan is a doll just a big teddy bear! He was thorough we ordered tests he really made me feel good because I had some issues that I’m not going to get into but they were embarrassing and he was so professional but at the same time laid back considerate to my feelings yeah we went over on time and I do feel bad about that but I do have a follow up with him which I’m very excited about and hopefully I’ll be getting some good news that the picture is looking clear I do have to say if all the nurse practitioner that we’re like him top-​notch care I’m actually pretty impressed with partners so far they’ve been very good the nursing staff when I was admitted fabulous absolutely fabulous took care of me through my whole weekend something there but Brian my follow up made it all worth it and I’m glad that I have him on my team so 5 stars! And thank you guys and thank you Brian!

So I went to the urgent care clinic on the Nevada side, 4^th street! Seen within one hour, and given my meds.

So its new years eve day and my daughter has vomited 5 times. Took her here and they were nice people. Looked like we may have needed to wait an hour or so but once daughter started to blow chunks they got us seen quickly. Not much they could do but said she would live which was good news. Nice mountain rustic atmosphere.

I struggled with the rating on this one, wanting to give five stars to the nurse /​nurse practitioner we saw, and zero stars to the non-​nurse at the front desk.
We went to the pediatric office at the center for a wellness check. Being new patients, we arrived early (per their request) to fill out paperwork. The nurse at the front desk was really friendly and, for lack of better description, totally on her game. She had our paperwork waiting for us, and made copies of the insurance card /​immunization record before I had a chance to sit down. Efficiency for the win!
The *other* chick, however? Is a total waste of space. She was texting away on her cell when I came up to return my paperwork, and I had to say «Excuse Me» TWICE before she looked up. I had my paperwork in front of her, yet still had to say, «We’ve finished filling out our daughter’s information.» and then, after a few seconds of vacant staring on her end, continued with, «Should I wait for the nurse to come back to turn this in?» before she got herself together and took the paperwork. I saw another set of blank forms with our names on them sitting right in front of her, but figured they were for the nurse /​doctor to fill out. It wasn’t until I sat back down that Tweedle Dee called me back, saying I needed to fill those out too. Augh.
The Nurse Practitioner we saw was a doll — really good with our daughter, and really good at helping organize my scattered thoughts re: how many words kiddo’s saying, etc. She waited for us to get our kiddo’s old medical records faxed up from her previous pediatrician which definitely extended our appointment time, yet she never seemed rushed or flustered with us. Will definitely be back to see her again. Hopefully next time we won’t have to deal with the non-​nurse at the front desk. Really, if it weren’t for her, this place would’ve gotten five stars.
