We were able to make an online appointment and we were taken back earlier than expected. The nurse was very helpful and professional. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and thorough.On a lighter note, I’m sure waiting time can vary depending on demand and they had complimentary water and snacks.

Visited the West Chester location on Aug 14th. I was greeted with a friendly smile and brought back immediately upon finishing required paperwork. The medical assistant was attentive and professional. Wendy was excellent and examined my wound and explained the procedure before stitching got underway. She patiently answered questions and concerns. Additionally the office and examination room were clean and orderly. A very positive experience.

Registration process was quick and easy on my cell phone. Receptionist was so friendly and professional! A rarity these days! Nurse and physician and X-ray tech were all so nice and efficient (I had a broken toe). Clean facility. Such a great experience!

The staff was very helpful and explained everything well. I ended up with a fractured foot and ankle. Things moved relatively fast for how busy it was on a Friday evening. This was my second time at this location and I had the same experience both times.

I was very pleased with my visit at Urgent Care! For my first time there as a patient, I registered in with two friendly ladies all the way to my nurse practitioner. They took their time listening to my needs. From the minute I came in, to the minute I exited! Everything was in a timely manner and an overall set of wonderful people! Everyone was so welcoming! I will definitely go back if there’s a moment my primary doctor can’t see me asap. Thank you to all! Truly appreciate you and your kindness!!

I suspected I had Covid so I made an appointment online fully expecting that there would be a full waiting room. When I arrived the waiting room was indeed busy with what seemed like an entire fraternity of sick college kids. I was taken back within 10 mins, received my Covid test administered by a nice young man & then seen by a lovely Dr who confirmed my Covid diagnosis. The Dr asked me if I’d like a prescription for paxlovid, she informed me of the possible side effects & sent me on my way. Probably the best visit to Urgent Care I’ve ever experienced & God knows I’m there a lot lol.

The wait was very long, almost 2 hours. But the process for registering and checking in were very efficient. And the visit with the nurse and physician was excellent. I really appreciated that the prescription was phoned in for me. My only feedback is to write the prescription instructions the same as the instructions given in the office. The bottle on one of my prescriptions said to take the medicine 3x day, and not to drive for 8 hours after taking. The doctor’s instructions were to take it once at bedtime. It required an extra phone call back to the office to make sure the oral instructions overrode the written instructions on the bottle.

My doctor’s computer was down so that I was compelled to visit Urgent Care. Dr. Wendy diagnosed me with Covid and kindly spent time with me even though they were closing and called in my antiviral RX. Grateful to have this conveniently located resource.

I love this place!I have a great PCP but sometimes things happen after 3pm. Yesterday, I got an appointment here and the receptionist said they were running behind because they only had 1 office person and 1 provider in.During my longer than usual wait, the receptionist remained exceptionally calm and helpful even while a patient had an insurance issue with the Ches.Co. ER sending them back to AFC and AFC said they needed to go to the ER. The receptionist called the ER and straightened it out.When my provider came for me at no time did I ever feel rushed. I got the care I needed.At the West Chester AFC everything is always done with a high level of professionalism.Thank you!

A total waste of time. Had an injury while working on my house and needed to get an X-ray. I called at 1:15 to make sure they can indeed do an X-ray there and the woman on the phone confirmed they absolutely can. Ok great. I get there by 2, check in, pay my $175, and fill out all the forms, again insuring I could get a x-ray there. The woman again confirmed I could get an x-ray. There is only 4 other people in the waiting room. Fast-forward to 4:30 when I’m FINALLY ready to be seen…..just to be told the x-ray tech left at 4:00 and an x-ray is now impossible. Sat in the waiting room for 2+ hours in excruciating pain just to leave because the incompetence of their employees.

Although the front desk and tech who took my blood pressure was nice, the Dr had zero bedside manner. Asked me zero questions and seemed annoyed I was there. It wasnt busy at all when I had gone. Something went wrong with the lab culture they took per Labcor they hadnt filled something out properly. When I called about it I was not treated with respect. Needless to say never got results. I do not recommend this branch.

My son had an infection in his leg and could not walk. I took him to Chester county hospital emergency room and they saw him and were going to give him prescriptions, one of them being antibiotics which he needed to get better. When they realized he had no insurance, they basically booted him out of the hospital! So I took him to AFC urgent Care in West Chester. They treated him with kindness and respect, and they gave him a prescription for the antibiotic that he needed. We should have went there first. Thank you AFC staff and doctor 😊

I couldn’t get in to see my doctor for 2 weeks, so I went to urgent care West Chester. The Dr was very kind, professional and thorough, performed all exams and tests that I would’ve expected my own doctor to perform. You may wait a bit to be seen even with an appointment, but I didn’t feel rushed when I was seen.

I have been using AfC for years, they are always pleasant and efficient. Every doc. I had was knowledgeable and wanted to help. I recently met Dr. Steven Spencer, he has a very good bed side manner, which I needed to get the stitches out of my very sensitive fingertip. He calmed me down, we talked and before I knew it, he was finished. Thank youDonna

There were 5 people who were in the waiting room when I arrived. I waited 2 hours to be seen (after paying a $50 copay) and then was literally left in the room after I saw the PA. I thought hmmm 8 oclock is a bit late and when I poked my head out of the door, there he was with his jacket and backpack on. Each of the front desk computers were logged out, and the lights were off. I couldnt really believe it. I then waited for my scripts to be printed out, and went to leave. The door was locked. Come on man, This is crazy.

I was able to get a medical question/issue taken care of right away and go right back to work within an hour. The office was nice, the front desk staff were nice, and they had a quick, user-friendly system of getting checked in on your phone. No mountains of paperwork to fill out or a long wait. These urgent care facilities are SO helpful, and this location does an overall great job. Thank you AFC West Chester! Keep up the great work.

This is a nice location. We had an appt but it took an hour to get in. That’s fine I know they triage and stuff happens. Other urgent cares (not AFC) in the area… one time we waited 6 hours so I am not complaining about an hour wait. Everyone was really nice to my kiddo. She gets nervous in healthcare settings and they put her at ease. Very professional staff and nurse practitioner. We would not hesitate to go to this location again and we recommended it!

The front staff was charming and very helpful. The Doctor was great and explained everything in detail like a professional. Now th Philpino Nurse was professional, took her time to answer questions and she asked questions in a professional matter. She was a very beautiful, intelligent and elegant woman. She deserves a raise.....

I came in here at 1:00 on a Friday. There was only 1 patient waiting. I did not get called back until 2:00. Waited in the room for another 30 minutes. Considering walking out multiple times. Will never come back here again. 2 hours?? I guess they think people have nothing else to do with their day.Better off going somewhere else

Review №31

Horrible experience. I won’t go back. Despite pre-registering, I waited over an hour. The MA who obtained my vital signs was coughing, but had no mask on. I asked if she had COVID in case I needed a mask. She said no. She did not use the ear thermometer appropriately ( I’m a nurse, so I know this for sure). The provider came in, did not introduce herself . No idea if a physician, PA, or CRNP. Regardless…I have a lesion on my skin that was present for about a week but in less than 24 hours progressed it tripled in size and color change. The provider when she viewed it, had a look on her face like I can’t believe you are wasting in friggin time. Said it was just skin irritation from heat. Sweat, clothing rubbing. Fast forward three days later after this nurse/patient treats herself with frequent hot compresses and triple antibiotic ointment, the lesion formed a head, burst into a lovely pus fluid and scabbed over. I continue to watch it and use the ointment, but I will never go back to AFC WC.

I came in early right when the clinic opened. Everyone was so helpful! Found that I had walking pneumonia. Was given prescriptions for the right meds to help my body get back to its normal pace. I’d definitely go back if ever I’m ailing. Thank goodness for the patient receptionist, the doc assistant, and the doc himself. Best day was when my cough didn’t keep me up the night prior! Second best is when it went away completely..

Dr Sax was the only provider that day . He spent 5 minutes with me and didnt even fully examine me. He then referred me to a local specialist who was backed up for 2 weeks. I went to University of Penn in Philadelphia. They had me scheduled next day , properly diagnosed me and medicated me.

Was feeling pretty miserable so appreciated being seen without having to wait long at all. Was so furious to learn that I have COVID. Was examined thoroughly ... heart/ lungs in particular. What I had to do was explained thoroughly with Paxlovid meds part in recovery. I felt that I had been seen, listened to, examined and interacted with completely to my satisfaction. Was stressed that if I needed further help that help would be available. Was given information papers explaining the visit to take home. Thank you for your caring practice of medicine.

Review №46

I wanted to share some feedback about my recent experience with Prednisone. Unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction to the medication, and when I came in for the follow-up appointment, my condition was quite concerning. I had a rash all over my body, confusion, lips that turned blue at times, an unhealthy-looking tongue, and an unstable pulse. I couldnt think or speak clearly, and my behavior was off. When asked to show my tongue, I couldnt even do it properly on the first try and didnt fully understand what was happening to me.I informed the doctor that I hadnt slept for two days and that every time I lay down, my hands twitched.While I understand that Prednisone reactions can be complex, I was a bit surprised that my symptoms werent more closely examined. I didnt think to go to the emergency room because I have only lived in the USA for five years and have never experienced anything like this before. I was advised that Prednisone typically does not cause a rash and was suggested to see a dermatologist, but I was in severe discomfort from the withdrawal /overdose symptoms.My intention in sharing this is not to cause any trouble but to highlight the importance of recognizing and addressing possible side effects and withdrawal symptoms from Prednisone. This feedback is aimed at improving awareness and care for future patients who might experience similar reactions.Thank you for your understanding.--I respect the work of the staff, as such things can happen to anyone, and no one could have predicted that I would develop an allergy to an allergy medication. However, for my own peace of mind, I have decided not to return to this clinic and will always double-check the prescriptions given to me by a doctor. Prescribing a potent steroid at high doses to someone who doesnt typically use it and has a chronic kidney condition is not something I would like to experience again in the future.

Review №52

Very poor nursing bed side manner and professionalism and medical knowledge from Julie Rich. I work in health care myself, but I was very disappointed with the service. I was thrown in a room for 30 minutes when I feel sick ears clogged possible ear infection. Was about to walk out and leave because it was taking too long and I found the nurse sitting in an office doing nothing while I was waiting. She came in and told me I was exaggerating my ear pain and symptoms and swabbed me for Covid. Can do that at home. Heard her speak rudely to the nursing assistant who actually gave me much better care than the actual “nurse practitioner.” Ridiculous. Nurse refused to flush out my ears. Will not be returning. I know urgent cares generally have bottom of the barrell nurses but this was horrible. If I wasn’t waiting on my new insurance I never would have gone here and will now not be returning.

Review №56

The facility was easy to find and access. The desk clerks were professional and kind. In addition, they were very honest with my wait time in case I wanted to be seen elsewhere. There was plenty of seating in the waiting room. About 40-50 percent of the waiting room was full of patients. My wait time was less than the clerk anticipated, despite the amount of patients present. The nurse brought me to an exam room that appeared tidy and clean, she was quick and pleasant gathering details for my chart. She left and the doctor came in a few minutes later and listened to all I had to say about my symptoms. He discussed my options for treatment with me and was able to send my information to my primary care physician at the VA in Coatesville. Bonus was that they were able to send my prescription to the Coatesville VA pharmacy too. Overall I felt like they did a great job with the patient load that was there. In my opinion they seem to be running things as efficiently as they can. I will go there again should I need any urgent care medical attention. Thank you AFC Urgent Care!

Beware of Dr. Leonard Sax- has no idea what he is doing and has terrible bedside manner. My boyfriend saw him with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his leg which were infected- he should have turned him away and told him to go immediately to the burn center at Crozier. Instead, he dressed the burn with something that made the infection worse causing my boyfriend to go to the ER

Went in because I had a terrible sore throat, nasal congestion, and ear pressure. I told the nurse that i tend to gag when throat swabs are done and i did indeed gag when she tried. She was visibily annoyed. the swab of my throat was never completed either. I guess the doctor or head nurse came in they didnt even look at my nose or listen to my heart or lungs. I thought that was standard practice. She did not want to listen when I tried to tell her what I was experiencing and wasnt experiencing

Just wanted to post this review so nobody else has to go through what I did. I am transitioning (female to male) and went to this urgent care in so much pain (with a problem that more females than males tend to get) and for some reason the front desk wrote down that my pronouns were she/her even though it says he/him on my id (they had a printed picture and photocopy of) and one staff member referred to me as “it”. If you or anyone you know struggles with gender dysphoria or pronouns I do not recommend this urgent care. I will not be returning here.

Review №86

Usually a good place to obtain care, taking off three stars because of a visit I paid them due to allergies (hives specifically) recently. I had been to a different urgent care the night prior for the same issue on a lesser scale, they knew this and that my pharmacy wasn’t open until the next day. The nurse was very nice and attentive, the doctor however seemed as if she couldn’t care less. Like I was just another human complaining of itching. She even told me, “they are annoying but not life threatening so you’ll be fine.” I had already done everything I could think of to relieve some of the discomfort, after leaving AFC, a few hours later I was completely covered, shaking, head to toe in hives and ended up in the ER. Chester County hospital seemed surprised that AFC didn’t do a single thing other than take my blood pressure, the doctor didn’t even listen to my lungs or heart which I thought was standard practice. Was sad to have this experience and hope they start taking allergic reactions more seriously. That could have been much worse had I not sought out alternate care.

PA Thomas, the x-ray tech, the nurse or tech, and front staff all provided professional and efficient care, with compassion and friendliness, and I left in much better shape than when entered, with whats needed to carry on. The care instructions were superb too, including directing to the appropriate specialist that most of us wouldnt consider. So grateful. The only criticism is clockwise scheduling didnt send a confirmation so I called to confirm. If clockwise would send an email or text it would be helpful.Ive also recently heard a story where they acted quickly and saved someones digit there.Thank you so very much for the excellent care and followup instructions. Glad youre there when we need you.

I cannot possibly recommend this place more. My partner went in for an ear ache and the two women at the reception area were so wonderfully helpful and kind I even went and got myself checked out. I haven’t been to a doctor in years, but they might have changed my mind about all that. Honestly the most helpful, knowledgeable, kind, and understand staff I’ve ever met in an urgent care, I will be coming to this urgent care for any applicable health needs now because of their incredible staff.

Had to bring my 4 year old in for a head cut that needed to be glued. The front desk staff were really nice and offered my son a lollipop afterwards as they could see he was upset. The PA and gentleman who checked us in were also very nice and understanding of how upset and nervous our son was. Didn’t have to wait long either. I do wish you didn’t have to do the check-in online/on your phone when you have a walk-in appointment; it’s not easy on the phone and could be done easier by front desk staff.

My biggest complaint about this place is allowing patients to make an appointment when they can’t honor the time. I made an appointment for 1 PM and proceeded to sit in the waiting room for an hour before being brought back into a room to wait another 40 minutes for the doctor to see me a total of three minutes.I’ve worked in an urgent care facility and understand wait times can be long and the place can be understaffed, but don’t allow appointments to be made online if you make the person wait an hour regardless. It doesn’t make sense. I won’t be returning here.

AFC doesn’t even deserve one star. I had heard terrible things about this place and I should have listened. I only came here because we were tired and the West Chester location is the closest urgent care facility to my house. My son (high school-aged) has been feeling sick for almost two weeks with a cough and upper respiratory congestion. He plays football so with his school schedule and practices he has been hesitant to spend any of his precious evening time waiting at a medical office. I finally decided he needed to go get checked and then (unfortunately) decided to go to AFC (because we were tired—he was feeling very sick, and it was close). I checked their website. Yep—they take walk-ins and are open until 8 pm. Sounded perfect and it was 6:30 pm when we left our house. Well, when we walked in their doors at 6:45 pm we were told that they would not be able to see us since they were not seeing any more patients. Even though they are a walk-in clinic and their website says they don’t close until 8pm! They were too busy. This is ridiculous! And I am livid. That was time wasted where i could have been driving to a different urgent care location (which is what i ended up doing).I highly recommend anyone do this—avoid AFC and go elsewhere!!! I ended up at Mainline Health’s urgent care in Concordville. We were able to walk in (as advertised) and their hours were as advertised. The facility was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful—a far cry from what we experienced at AFC. I will never return there again. All of the horror stories I have heard about that place must be true. Stay away!

This was my first time ever visiting an urgent care. I didn’t know what to expect and it’s exceeded my expectations !The receptionists were so kind and the med tech was so kind too. Julie Rich CRNP took her time with me and was so informative and worried about me. I am very happy I decided to go rather than wait it out to go to my healthcare provider tomorrow since no Sat hours today! This place was the best.

We have used AFC West Chester several times for urgent care needs. Every visit, whether a short or long wait (we’ve experienced both), we have always been welcomed warmly and respectfully, given excellent and efficient care and are impressed with the clean and professional environment (even on packed days), as well as the easy and nearly seamless registration & check-in process.

We were seen at AFC on a holiday when my son’s ped office was closed. The front desk staff were professional and efficient. The nurse was kind and put my son at ease. The PA, Tom, took his time to explain to us what my son needed in terms of medicine and care. He then went on to speak with me about my older son and offered some advice on how to better manage his asthma symptoms. I felt less rushed and more accommodated in this facility than I typically do at their regular doctor’s office. We were out in under an hour and I suspect if was only that long due to the holiday. This is a great facility.

I’ve literally never done this before, but feel compelled to as Julie and the rest of their team helped me not only with my injury, but understand my insurance, benefits and services that would be covered/ total amount owed prior to even admitting me.Not only that, but they helped me get into a specialist I was trying to schedule with earlier that day, the same day as my appointment with AFC. Had it not been for them, I would have had to either wait 2 months to see that specialist, or dig myself for hours to find another one who could take me sooner.Can not thank your team enough.

Wasn’t thrilled. I had bruising swelling and a cut on my leg from that was a week old and getting worse everyday. The guy taking my vitals was with me longer than the doctor (if that’s what she was) she didn’t even touch my leg barely looked at it and didn’t want to see the bruising and swelling on my ankle and foot. I asked if she wanted me to take my shoe off I think she said yes just to placate me. I don’t expect to be treated special I know you’re not my regular doctor but a little compassion and time spent with me (more than 3 minutes) would have been nice.

I went here with a suspected broken toe on Saturday 23rd. Office staff, PA Wendy, X-ray tech, and CMA Allison were all professional. However, I was told that I did not have a fracture after simply taking a short peek at my X-ray. Symptoms worsened and I went to Patient First in Downingtown where they actually looked at my x-ray with attention to detail (as it should be done) and they determined that it was broken and gave me genuine medical advice that was helpful. Staff at AFC did not even suggest that I buddy tape in the event that it was broken. Extremely disappointed that it took two urgent care visits to diagnose a broken big toe, especially since AFC staff knew that I was in an extreme amount of pain but did not take a close enough look at the scan, making me believe that they are messy and dont care enough to do their job of looking at images and provide decent patient care. Not returning.

The staff were quick and polite. However , I had to wait past my appointment time & was seen 15 mins before closing time. Dr sent an rx to my pharmacy, told me I should see improvement in 2 days. Then I was dismissed, given no paperwork or instructions, which I didnt realize until I left. I think the follow through instructions are just as important as the directions for the medicine. I apparently had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic, but didnt realize that is what was happening. So it got 2 xs worse... Photos - 1st when I walked in. Next 2 days later.

The waiting room was crowded and there was obviously a long wait to see the doctor (2 hrs). Every time a new patient arrived the staff would tell them to have a seat and a doctor would see them shortly (instead of telling them the truth, that it would be at least a 2 hour wait. Only after some of the patients started to complain about the wait, did the staff start telling new arrivals of the long wait time.

Went to Urgent care because I had caught the common cold. As I had been seated and waiting for someone to come out to me. It had passed an hour or so while the place was empty. Elder lady at the desk has an attitude problem and is very difficult to deal with. The other ladies there are all air heads and don’t understand what you’re trying to tell them. (AREN’T THEY THE PROFESSIONALS?!). Anyways waited there for an hour or so just for them to tell me they cannot help me because I didn’t have my insurance card. I am a college student in a limited schedule. I could have paid but I would never step foot in that place of business ever again. I’d rather have someone on the street of West Chester check up on me than so called professional at their job. Just do better Urgent Care that you guys are really disappointing.

I recently visited the AFC urgent care in West Chester, PA and will NEVER return there. The lack of care and comments I received from the physician were unprofessional, to say the least. He used profanities while speaking to me (more than once) and I cannot help but think he felt this was acceptable since I was in the room alone. I never have been spoken to in such a manner and was completely and utterly shocked. It is quite unfortunate that I have to leave this google review and I cannot contact AFC corporate themselves. Not to mention, the physician never even introduced himself to me so I dont even have his name.Additionally, I made an appointment to be seen there only to wait an hour and while I understand the healthcare industry is under tremendous pressure right now, they should not allow appointments if you are not going to be seen within a certain amount of time. I really am floored by my experience there and I would not advise anyone, especially a young woman, to go here alone. If anyone knows how I can file a more formal complaint, I would greatly appreciate any insight. Thank you!

Review №162

Great prices for the uninsured. I was evaluated and treated quickly and I felt my health and well being was cared for by the staff.But what impressed me most and is the reason why I am taking the time to write this review is because while I was in the waiting room I watched a mother bring her 2 year old daughter in who had a bad fall while playing or something and cut and scrapped her face pretty bad and was bleeding slightly. She didnt look like she was in any danger just got hurt like kids do but you could tell the little girl was very scared and in pain. Instead of making the poor kid wait they brought the little girl to the back immediately ahead of everyone else and cleaned her up and put kids band-aids on her and then brought them back to the waiting room to fill out the required paper work. That little girl looked calmed after that.As a father of three accident prone little ones who I love so much, I was so impressed with the empathy and compassion they showed that little girl and her mother. I recall being in the emergency room myself decades ago as a hurt little kid from a bad bike crash and I remember just sitting there scared and in pain for what felt like forever bleeding all over the place from open wounds and scraps while my mother frantically filled out paper work.Every health-care entity advertises about compassionate care but few actually give it, atleast from the heart. As much as they probably train their people to show compassion it usually ends up being take a number and wait for the person behind the counter to call next. Healthcare workers like the rest of us working class people, are over worked and underpaid. They have to dig deep in themselves to find that empathy for their patients despite their own life circumstances. It takes real effort and a good heart to unselfishly go beyond what is required especially because it usually comes with a cost yourself and there is little to no reward except the joy of helping another person in their time on need. These qualities are not something you can train or fake, they are things each individual has to cultivate with in themselves. I witnessed the staff at the West Chester Pa AFC do that yesterday. Its those little things that make a difference. Keep up the good work.

If you are looking for prompt and professional medical attention, AFC Urgent Care is the place to go. The staff seemed very knowledgeable and skilled. The facility itself was clean, modern, and looked well-equipped with the latest medical technology.I recently visited their West Chester facility and was extremely impressed with the level of service I received from Tom Giovinazzo, PA-C. I was greeted by Tom as he walked into the exam room, a friendly and caring staff member who made me feel welcome and at ease. Many years ago I had a doctor, who has since moved from PA, that once said ...you should know more about your health than I do. I took that message to heart and I always do a fair amount of research when Im sick, before seeing the doctor. That said, when I told Tom my diagnosis, he went over my symptoms, examined me and said ...you are correct and prescribed the necessary medication. I make particular mention of this because most doctors or PAs tend to be disturbed by my knowledge and usually ask me how many (insert any expletive) years I went to medical school, in a very condescending tone (although Ive never been wrong). I dont think every patient should or needs to do this, I just feel that when a medical professional is provided this information, maybe a nod and verification is in order, before making an unwelcome and condescending comment. Kudos to Tom! ...for not being offended by my need to be an informed patient.Unfortunately, the one negative that really stood out to me about AFC Urgent Care was their lack of commitment to the scheduling in advance of appointments. I scheduled an appointment online around 7:15 AM that day for a 5:00 PM appointment. I arrived at 4:45 PM, checked in at the front desk, noticed there were 3 patients waiting and three back in the exam rooms. They said there was no paperwork to complete, due to everything being prepared online in advance of the appointment and because I had been a previous patient. I waited until 5:30 PM to be seen, while they were seeing walkin patients in the order that they had arrived before me. If AFC Urgent Care is not going to adhere to the appointment schedule, it should not have been an option to schedule one.Overall, I would highly recommend AFC Urgent Care to anyone in need of prompt and professional medical attention. The staff is top-notch, the facility is state-of-the-art, and the level of care and attention that they provide is truly exceptional. Whether you need urgent care services or simply want to schedule a routine check-up, AFC Urgent Care is the place to go.

We were from out of state and my 17 year old needed care for a UTI. It was easy to make an appointment online, paid a small copay and took our insurance. We were quick to be seen and after a urine test was done it was determined she indeed have a UTI and also treated her for a yeast infection even though her results would take a few days to come back. It was a one pill and fine treatment. We used Cvs to fill the scripts and got them promptly and it ended up costing me 30 dollars total out of pocket to treat my daughter and make her feel better for the long weekend.

I went in today from out of town for back pain. Made an appointment online and uploaded my info and set an appointment time for one hour later when I had a ride there. When I got there I just had to give my name and two minutes later the MA came and got me. Asked me brief and pertinent questions to my problem while being sympathetic, professional, and friendly. About 3 minutes later Dr. Sax came in and heard my concerns, quickly examined my back and posture and provided a treatment along with a medication to help my pain. This was the best medical experience I have ever had. Super efficient, quick, no wait, staff were friendly, building was clean, and check out was a breeze where I got a note for work, written script to take to any pharmacy, and a summary of my visit and treatment instructions. I wish going to my primary was this easy! I honestly have severe medical trauma and have never had such a pleasant experience before that I had to write a review. Thank you!

Dr. Sax was great. The medication he put me on worked fast and he called me to tell me of my lab results. My only issue is with the woman who answered my call back. Dr. Sax left me a voicemail where he told me the time and day at which he left this voicemail and told me to call back. I called back ten minutes after the voicemail was left and the woman who answered the phone call was so extremely rude to me I was absolutely shocked. I really wish I got her name because her reaction was absolutely disproportionate to the content of my phone call. I was struggling to breathe and she got very loud with me and told me that I was lying about when I got the voicemail because the doctor wasnt in that day. I even double checked the timestamps in the transcription of the message (I use iPhone) so its all displayed very clearly and I was not mistaken.

We thought they wouldnt be able to help my niece out with her stitches because she had to go to a plastic surgeon which was really expensive in philadelphia but here they did an awesome job for such a good price without complications nor pain. Thank you so much!!! I really recommend this place dont have to over pay for medical procedures.

My girlfriend and I went here for an appointment to look at an allergic reaction. Once we were checked in, we were immediately told we had to pay before receiving any services from the medical staff. Once the medical staff were able to see us, the only thing we were told was “it’s an allergic reaction, go to a specialist”. They didn’t offer any helpful insight regarding over the counter medications or anything like that. They basically rushed us out. When we left we felt dissatisfied with how quickly we were rushed out and called to see if we could get our money back. The receptionist who answered the phone immediately got an attitude with us and became extremely rude for no apparent reason. She ultimately hung up on us before yelling, “do you want to take a call on line one with an attitude?”, to another staff member. They later refused to answer our calls when we tried calling back. They are extremely rude and in professional, I highly recommend going to a different urgent care.

Efficient, helpful staff at front desk. Warm MA who made me comfortable while taking vitals. Tom, the PA, is a very knowledgeable, experienced and warm provider that I have seen multiple times and fully trust. Great place!

I strongly recommend against visiting this urgent care for any reason. Visited after a rash that had sustained for one week and had shown up after yard work. The rash was present under my armpit as well which the MD explained away saying I mustve gotten poison on my hands and that transferred to the armpit, regardless of the fact this transfer rash shouldve been multiple other places then. After one week of steroids I returned to visit a second MD who very condescendingly brought in his colleague to show him how he misdiagnosed me. This new MD after keeping me in the dark then stated flatly I had scabies with no other testing to confirm his diagnosis. He prescribed me an anti-parasitic cream and told me to repeat in 1 week if not better. No referral for a dermatologist, no checking to confirm the presence of mites, no reason on why I would have it and not my wife. After using this cream I found my skin inflamed even worse than before and finally visited an actual dermatologist who confirmed that scabies was not the correct diagnosis either. The frustration and skin damage Ive received because of two mis-diagnosises cannot be overstated. Pictured is how my skin appeared after placing the anti-parasitic cream that worsened my condition considerably.

I was very appreciative of all the people I met at AFC Urgent Care yesterday. They treated me with the utmost respect when I needed it the most. Thank you to all for making a stressful situation so much easier to deal with.

AFC West Chester is my go to for immediate medical attention for myself and my family.The staff is excellent and the service is better than waiting in a local ER.They have handled everything from physicals to sinus infections to allergic reactions.I had an advanced issue that my primary physician and specialists and a trip to the ER and MRI couldn’t resolve and Dr.Tom figured it out in 10 minutes and cleared up 3 months of discomfort and agony so they are equipped and skilled enough to handle complex issues.

AFC Urgent Care West Chester provided excellent care of me. Immediately (while signing in in the registration room) the nurse realized that I was in breathing distress. She and the Doctor on duty provided prompt care, including calling for an ambulance to take me to the hospital. Without their quick and good care I most likely would not be alive today.

I had a wonderful experience this week at AFC. From the person who answered the phone to the receptionists to the medical assistant to the doctor. Everything was handled with professionalism. Everyone was friendly and respectful.

I had a good experience with AFC Urgent care. I didnt have to wait too long, and all of my concerns were addressed. The doctor took his time with me and made sure I was comfortable. He explained his thought process and put my mind at ease. He was very thorough. Rachel my nurse was very sweet and caring. Overall it was a great experience and I left without any worry at all. Thanks guys.

I cannot say enough good things about AFC West Chester! The staff is awesome: the sweet ladies at the desk who gave my 7 year old daughter stickers and chatted with her to ease her nerves, the nurse who did her throat culture and called her kiddo and let her pick a lollipop for being brave, and the doctor who did her exam and took his time with us…just the absolute best experience. Thank you for the level of care and kindness your whole team provided us with!

$150 for what essentially felt like a waste of time. I waited upwards of 30 minutes (in an empty waiting room) only to be seen for all of maybe 5 minutes and have the doctor not even extensively try to figure out what my actual issue was that I went there for, but just to say “here’s a prescription for some antibiotics that SHOULD help” and “go to a throat specialist if it doesn’t help.” I’ve been dealing with a nagging feeling of something stuck in the back of my throat all week and while it isn’t a total emergency it has been very uncomfortable for me. I wasn’t able to get an appointment with my normal primary doctor until Saturday morning so I visited this urgent care hoping I may be able to get something done about it before then— well now it is 1 am Saturday morning and after a full day and a half of taking the antibiotics that I was told would clear up my potential throat infection within 48 hours…I have yet to feel like the issue has gone away. I felt very rushed through my visit here by the doctor and even from the staff from the moment I walked in. I didn’t feel like I even had a chance to truly thoroughly explain my concern and, as a medical receptionist myself who goes above and beyond to make the patients at my own medical facility feel welcomed, I perceived that the staff at this urgent care were very halfhearted about their jobs (at least on the day I went there). Feels like I wasted my money and time. Please for the future consider actually thoroughly listening to your patients and making them feel safe and cared for, instead of them leaving feeling like they wasted their money and didn’t receive the care they paid for.

My wife and I visited the AFC Urgent Care as walk-ins on a Sunday at 8am and were seen immediately. Our service was exceptional and I would like to personally thank the staff of this facility for their professionalism. In particular, our nurse Rachel was phenomenal. What was most impressive was her bed side manner, which quickly put my wife at ease. Also our physician was very thorough and reassuring. Again thank you so much for your service and we will be back should the need arise.

I wanted to share my experience with AFC at the Westchester PA location. Julie who was my Doctor, did an excellent job in evaluating me checking 4 things it might be wrong Was concerned enough to Suggest that I go to the hospital and emergency room immediately she offered to call an ambulance for. My experience at your facility could not have been more positive. She now falls into the categories one of my favorite doctors that I will refer people back to and gladly come back again should I need to. As it turned out her suggestion to go to the hospital was a good one because while they didnt really find anything seriously wrong, They ruled out something some things that I might have had wrong with me.Its nice to know that your facility was there for me when I needed you and again I would gladly refer her or your facility to anyone I know! Thank you, Michael

Awesome Customer Service today! I needed to get a Health Assessment completed for work ASAP, and popped in with no appointment. The front desk staff was super nice, and the wait was maybe 3 minutes. I wish I could remember the name of the nurse that called me back and did my preliminary vitals because she was so friendly, funny and professional all at the same time. The PA that completed my assessment was quick and efficient yet thorough, and thanked me for my business. The whole team made it a seamless quick experience!

Horrible experience, extremely rude front desk person who we watched ignore one patient after the next. The worst part was when a patient who was in extreme pain and begging to sit in her car, was first told no and after begging a second time the front desk lady said fine, I’ll call you when it’s your turn. She had no intention on calling this woman until we confronted her to remind her about the woman, she said her system is down so she can’t call her…we offered to go outside and get the woman ourselves. Just so miserable and beyond lazy. The idea of caring for patients is dead and it’s all pill flinging and money collecting. Very sad. I’d be embarrassed to be in the medical field as it stands today.
