I had the privilege of visiting Dr. Shabnam Shavakh for urgent care recently, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Dr. Shavakh displayed exceptional professionalism, compassion, and expertise during my visit. She listened carefully to my concerns, asked thorough questions, and provided clear explanations about my condition and the recommended treatment. Her swift and accurate diagnosis, combined with her ability to address my urgent medical needs efficiently, truly set her apart.

Went here at 3pm on a Monday about 10 min after talking on the phone to who Im assuming was the front desk nurse. Told her Id be in soon.Got there, the door was locked, lights off, multiple UPS sorry we missed you post it notes on the grimey looking front door. Not sure why this place is listed on Google as a business. It looked straight up abandoned.Ended up going to Carbon Health Urgent Care not too far off on Cherry Ave. They got me in and out in under 20 min.Not sure what is going on with this business, Google needs to remove this place from the map.

I visited this clinic in early March with COVID symptoms to confirm a case. The doctor seemed competent, but the billing practices are concerning.They just did a standard COVID test with a swab, and I got the results in ~15 minutes. There were no other tests or medical procedures involved.The clinic staff did not provide an estimate for the Covid diagnostic test upfront, when I inquired about potential charges.Later, the clinic billed my insurance nearly $400, which even my insurance advocate deemed excessive. They covered only a small, reasonable portion, leaving the clinic to charge the remaining balance to me.I called the Instant Urgent Care billing department to negotiate, but they were fully aware of their practices and completely uncooperative.If you are considering this clinic and cannot confirm the price of their services upfront, I would stay away from this institution. where even a basic COVID test diagnostic costs more than similar services at Stanford and PAMF.

The doctor was just terrible. If I could describe worse than terrible then that would be the word. I was having severe back pain, the doctor poked at my lower back and kept asking me if I could feel pain. I responded repeatedly saying that I don’t feel pain when that happens. Constantly, he kept doing the same thing saying that “I can’t do anything if you can’t tell me where the pain is.” A back and forth conversation of the same dialogue, where he even said that if you don’t feel the pain where I’m designating at then there is no pain. Constantly, I’m in so much pain from getting up out of bed or a chair yet this doctor made me feel like my problem was worthless. Do not come this urgent care if you are looking for someone that is sincere and able to hear your pain.

I purposely scheduled this timeslot to not have to deal with the doctor. I did on my last visit where I left a bad review, but he was there anyway. Well done, urgent care thanks for the heads up. I will now use my insurance is telehealth to ask the questions I need and get the prescriptions I need. This doctor once againdid not seem to be interested at all to be there and I’ll apparently have to find a new place to go for primary care

The staff was incredibly nice and very helpful. Dr. Shavakh is a very good listener and gave me the 2 referals that I needed. She answered all of my questions in a way that I could understand. I would definitely recommend this clinlc.

No frills, but also no xray at this location. I do not know what other imaging services they may have, but they send you off on your own with your order. You will need to know how to ask for network providers etc. I would not recommend this place for injuries.

No, I would NOT recommend this location at all. The waiting times are extremely long, and the doctors are rude. While the front desk staff are nice, when I returned to inquire about an extra charge on my visit, they hung up without providing any explanation. Rude staff and doctors, along with an extra charge and refusal to explain—best to avoid this place.

They had an appointment available and there was no wait. However my prescription was never received by the pharmacy. Multiple attempts to call customer service were not answered. I had to go back in person and request to send it again. The second time did not go through, too. Thankfully I requested a paper prescription that was accepted by the pharmacy.

Space felt dirty.Clinical tray had a pube on it.The treating physician did not weigh the patient. The mistake was corrected only after it was noted by the patient.The pharmacist noted that the prescribed dosage for the medication was incorrect - prescribing 5 days of 1000mg of amoxicillin per day for a 21kg patient - noting it should have been closer to 90mg/kg per day for 10 days. I dont know whos right at the moment, but Im calling another doctor tomorrow.

Dr. Kaur was great. She is compassionate, patient, & understanding. I came in over an hour prior to my appointment since my symptoms were worsening, & I’m very happy that this office was able to make room to see me. She & her staff explained to me what I had, what the treatment would be, & when I’d need to follow up again. Overall, I’d come back here in a heartbeat.

I had excruciating pain in my backfor three days. Any movement felt like a knife stab. I couldnt get up or walk without screaming. I never had this much pain in my life. I have a high threshold of pain. But this was of the charts. My wife called Dr Kaurs office at 3 pm and was able to get a 3:30 pm appointment. There was no waiting. The attending PA gave me a shot and after consulting with Dr Kaur called in a prescription. We PC picked up the prescription. By 8 pm the pain was almost gone. I thank God for Dr Kaurs care.

I went in there on 12/13/23. I had a sore throat, cough, my asthma was acting up & my chest hurt when I coughed. They did a flu, Covid & strep test. They didn’t take my temperature & they didn’t examine me. The doctor came in & told me that the tests were negative & he didn’t know what to do because I was on medication for my heart. I told him that I had bronchitis a month earlier & it felt like it was back. He then listened to my lungs & said nothing. 3 days later, I went to a follow at a different facility. I was given antibiotics, and 2 different medications for my asthma & a breathing treatment. The doctor on Monterey is a quack.

This was one of best experiences I’ve ever had at a Dr. office. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable. But most importantly they were caring each staff member have the biggest hearts they made me feel so comfortable and helped me out questions I had and gave me valuable advice. Doc oh my gos! She was wonderful not only first class medical attention but to really listen to me and hear what I was saying but u can tell she genuinely cares about her patients and that is the most valuable trait anyone can have. Thank you so much I appreciate you all so much! I highly recommend this medical office 100 stars!!

I felt very comfortable putting my life in the hands in this facility. Even though theyre just as busy helping patients as any other urgent care center, the staff made me feel like I was properly taken care of in a timely manner. I had an unbelievably time-sensitive medical issue yesterday that Instant Urgent Care was able to help me resolve immediately. Dr. R Kaur was extremely understanding, quick-to-respond, and comprehensive. I would definitely return for future issues, even if Im make a large detour!

Review №22

Booked an appointment online for a physical in advance and also received a confirmation email. But the center canceled my appointment right when I was about to leave home to get to the appointment (essentially 45 mins before the appointment). We were traveling in 10 days and it became difficult to get another appointment on time before our travel and delayed our application.Online appointment system cannot be trusted and the clinic cannot be trusted to keep appointments, creating a lot of delays where time matters. Would recommend to go a more trustworthy clinic.

The website makes it very easy to schedule appointments and complete all of the required paperwork beforehand. Once I got to the clinic, it was a super fast process. I was out within 10 minutes of getting there for my COVID test. Plus, I got my results within 2 hours!The staff is really friendly and super helpful. They helped me out quickly and ensured that I got my results before my doctors appointment!!

To start, my doctor was great (when I was finally seen) so that is why this has more than 1 star. I booked an appointment for Saturday morning the night prior. Less than an hour before my appointment I received a call from a lady informing me the office I scheduled under was actually closed. Now, why I was able to book an appointment if it was closed that day I am unsure. The lady proceeded to let me know that I would receive information on a virtual consultation instead. That never happened. I start to scramble and call all the locations in the area and not one person comes to the phone. I call back the number that called me about 3 times and it only rings once and the call ends every time. I proceed to book another appointment online for another location and finally get seen. It should never have been that difficult. Misinformation back to back and uncertain whether Id ever get the help I needed.

My husband fell sick yesterday and went to the urgent care. We asked for Dr.Kaur who unfortunately was not working that day (Kaur was excellent and had seen my husband before). Instead, Dr. Rajiv kumra was the doctor. The doctor was very rude, impatient and the entire appointment felt rushed. He prescribed some medication without even going over what those medications were for. To my surprise, an antibiotic was prescribed for a viral infection (per their diagnosis) and I am still following up with the urgent care to get clarity. Overall, had a horrible experience with dr. Kumra

Would not recommend this place AT ALL. The nurses were very nice but the doctor was extremely rude and was yelling at me the whole time for no reason. I was just asking normal questions and then the doctor went off and started repeatedly saying things like “there is nothing I can do”. Jeez if you are that unwilling to see patients then just don’t do urgent care man. This is just purely unprofessional. Such a waste of time.

Very efficient and convenient! I was able to get a same day covid test appointment covered by my insurance. The process for scheduling and submitting information online or by text is so easy an convenient. I tried calling first but the message said due to staffing and call volumes they werent able to answer all calls. They suggested to text and after doing so, I received a response within minutes. The process when you arrive for the appointment is organized as well. I arrived a few minutes before my appointment time. Had to wait outside in a short line to check in. After checking in was told to wait in my car or outside for a phone call to return for my test. I was done and on the road all within 40 minutes.

The consulting physician was helpful and pleasant to speak with. The overall service could be improved. We waited online for 10 minutes after our scheduled appointment time for our Virtual Visit to start. As a follow-up, we were informed that we would receive a text with info for a follow up visit, but we never received that communication. Very frustrating system to work with.

I went in to have a covid test done for myself and my family. The staff working the desk, and administering the tests were both extremely friendly and helpful. They didn’t make me feel embarrassed or ashamed. They answered all of my questions and were very patient with my younger kids getting tested. I highly recommend coming here. It’s clean, fast and they are super friendly and helpful!

Other than trying to figure out how they were doing things due to covid, and not being able get through on the phone because of high call volume, once I was in the door it was really quick compared to my previous experiences at various other urgent care centers. From the time I walked out of my house to the time I walked back in the door at home after my appointment all took an hour (granted Im lucky enough to only live a 4 min drive away). And Matt The P. A. I saw was nice, easy to understand, and thorough!

On the first appointment, a Dr. didn’t show after waiting on the video call for 35 minutes. After 50 minutes they called me and accused me of missing the appointment because I wasn’t there when they finally arrived. They said they would have a doctor call me back, but no one did. On the second appointment, I waited the video call for 15 minutes before I got a phone call from a doctor who said he didn’t see me online and the video must not be working. After the appointment was over, I saw him log onto the video call briefly and the off again, so it must have been working to some degree. After the appointment, I was told I’d get a follow up message with instructions within 10 minutes, and hours later I still have not received anything except an email to create a password and log into their records portal, which has a user experience from about 2 decades ago. Not only was it awful, but I could not find instructions there either. In my opinion, I would not recommend using this service unless you have to. And it certainly hasn’t been “Instant” or “Urgent”.

I went in when I cut my finger and had to Get stitches. I was prepared to be there for a long time, but i was very surprised to be in and out very quickly! Not much waiting time, and everyone was great! Both of my follow up appointments were the same, and everyone working there each time were all wonderful- front desk staff, nurses, and doctors. Best urgent care experience I’ve ever had and would definitely recommend and go back if needed!

I love going to Instant Urgent Care for our rapid covid-19 tests! The wait is never more than 5-10 minutes and that’s on a busy day. The staff is super friendly and the nurse is very gentle while swabbing the inside of our nose. We always receive our results in about an hours time. Going to Instant Urgent Care is way better than sitting in a drive-thru line.

I went for a COVID test recently and had an appointment that was right at opening time. Employee arrived a minute before opening time and was rushing to unlock the door, turn on the lights, turn on the computer and wait for computer to load, etc. By this time a moderately long line/crowd had formed outside the clinic entrance. There was only the one employee to check people in as well as administer services and so progress was very slow and we had to wait longer than usual. I can understand people arriving late to work here and there so that was just mildly annoying, but this location is just too understaffed and so service quality really suffers.

Had to schedule the appointment three times and keep following up before someone actually called for the televisit. And due to their scheduling issue, the televisit was over the phone instead of having the camera on. Very disappointing experience this time, specially with Priyadarshini and Aishwarya who helped schedule the appointments.

This clinic is undoubtedly the best urgert care facility (San Jose & Santa Clara facilities) I’ve ever been to. Special thanks to all the PA’s and doctors who tended to my wounds. 100% as good as walking into a fullblown ER. I was able to make a same day appt & was seen within 10 minutes of arrival. Treatment was throughly explained & w/o confusion. Thank You Doc Kava & staff, Melissa for seeing me today on Monterey. 100 stars …

Had a virtual appointment at 920 am. Got on 5 minutes early, throughout waiting for 30 minutes i started texting the number to see where the doctor was at, someone finally texted me back at 950 telling me it was the “service.” (Even though my sister and mother had the same experience with them living in a different area) I finally got on the phone with someone, the receptionist or whoever, & she was so rude. Cutting me off, had an attitude, just horrible service. Once i got ahold of the doctor it was fairly smooth from there. The staff was just incredibly rude and unprofessional. I only had to book because i needed a rapid test but if you need any help for an emergency just know they will take their sweet time until they decide to.

Had a great experience this morning getting a PCR that was required before my cruise vacation. Ramona at the desk was warm and helpful and Alyssa who did my test was also supportive, professional and gentle. I arrived early, was tested early and out of there in 15 minutes. I will definitely be back and tell others about this super service. (By the way I am a Stanford Nurse, so I know what a good experience looks like!)Update- Returned 2 weeks later for PCR post trip and after my cruise roommate tested positive and became ill. I, too, had symptoms. I had a 9 am appointment but clinic was closed. Two other patients were waiting outside with me. None of us could get anyone to answer the phone line. The staff arrived and one had picked the other up as she had car trouble. Same nice ladies as above. However, I was then advised I could not get a PCR, only an antigen test which was just as good. It is NOT and is not recommended for those with exposure or seeking to protect someone at high risk, like my roommate with leukemia. So even though I made my appointment for PCR two weeks ago, when I came to the appointment I was not able to get what I scheduled. One of the other poor patients had GI symptoms and had scheduled online to see a provider, only to be told they did not have any at this site and he needed to go to another clinic site. He had to wait for his ride to come back and pick him up and was uncomfortable. SOOOO be aware this clinic does not provide what they promise. Not the two ladies fault- this is an issue with the parent company who sets policies. Bottom line- I got a PCR elsewhere and although my antigen test from Instant urgent care was negative, the PCR was positive and I have covid which I could have given to my roommate!!

The process was really easy. The doctor was proactive and I was able to get treatment and a covid test. She listened to my concerns and medical history and that was greatly appreciated.

Very professional and helpful. I scheduled my appt. on line and was given a link for a virtual visit with a provider who recommended being tested for COVID-19. I was then texted an appointment block of time. I was seen within 5 minutes of blocked time and administered test in a very professional manner. Whole process took 30 minutes from booking to completion of test. Amazing!

Completely unorganized! Waited a whole month for them to correct an error on MRI order..Phone calls are a min 15 min wait IF THAT! Multiple calls and multiple scheduling errors has led me to believe there are huge issues internally. Im currently on another call that has continuously ringed for 5 mins no one picks up! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR TREATMENT..UNLESS YOU WANT MAJOR DELAYS AND HUGE COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS!Update 09/27/2022I am completely disgusted with this staff Mellisa here. I had arrived early to a 10A.M appointment their call center told me to go in person due to amount of pain I was in. I waited over 45 mins in lobby and followed up with front desk if Dr was ready for me, Mellisa advised me she didnt check me in yet! A WHOLE 45 MINS LATER! I then went home to take pain medication and on my return within 5 mins I noticed a message that Melissa cancelled my appointment I waited over 45 mins in lobby for.When I returned Mellisa asked me if I was ready to see the doctor I responded with Yes I am, but I would like to fill out grievance for the uneccessary wait time and cancelation Mellisa then responded for me to go somewhere else! Its very disgusting to be treated like this.. especially when It was within my rights to file a grievance! Dr.Kaur had then called and agreed with her incompetent colleagues action, Not even considering the wait time and amount of pain I was in, let alone my protected rights! Had no complaints of doctor kaur untill this day! Do not come here unless you expect very sub par medical treatment! They are not aligned with standardized level of care! And obviously do not respect patients medical treatment or rights!

Provided insurance card, got a covid test, they state I never had insurance. My insurance stated I am covered and they never got a claim from Instant Urgent Care.

CANNOT GET A HOLD OF ANYONE.I am trying to schedule a covid rapid test. Before getting one scheduled, you have to video chat with a doctor and then they are supposed to send you a link for your appointment.Scheduled a video chat for 3:40 PM on 8/9/21. Waited 30 minutes and no one ever joined. I called all the numbers that they provide and could not get a hold of anyone. THREE HOURS later, I get a call asking if I still want a video chat. I say, yes. They did warn me 5 people were ahead of me so waited about 30 minutes for someone to join. The video chat was short and the doctor told me that I would receive a text message with a link for my covid 19 test appointment. It is the next day and I have not received anything.What makes it even worse is that no one answers any phone calls.

I was forced to do a virtual appointment given my circumstances which is fine and understandable that’s not the issue. The Dr i was seen by was suppose to write me a note for my employer being that I’ve been off and she recommended I’d stay home for the next two days till I get my results back yet has not done so I’ve checked my profile online and nothing every instant urgent care contact does not answer their phone since yesterday I’ve left multiple voicemails and no call back frustrating and a huge inconvenience looks like I’ll have to take a trip down to the office since no one can seem to answer or return any calls

Whole process for COVID 19 test was terrific. Went online to the website and scheduled a same day covid test (Check the availability of appointments early in the morning a lot of slots available).

I was exposed to a positive case of Covid on a Sunday. Had a virtual appointment on the following Wednesday which is part of the process to secure the in person test. Not sure why but they assumed I wanted a rapid test. During the virtual visit I corrected that assumption and said I did not need a rapid test. I was given a window of time to show up for the in person test the next day, Thursday. I went for the test by car, which was not a long wait, maybe 10 minutes. They gave me a rapid test but not ever being tested before I was unaware it was a rapid test until after the swab when they told me I would have my results within an hour. I corrected them as I did not need the rapid test, no symptoms and no need to pay extra. They had to go check the records, found they made a mistake and gave me the PCV (I think that’s the acronym). They advertise 2-4 days for results. I got the results today, Tuesday, August 10. I couldn’t return to work without the results. I was exposed with a group of people and they got tested on Friday, August 6 through the County and they had their results the next day. Overall not a great experience because of the mistakes and length of time it took to get the results. When I called to follow up about where the test results were on the 9th, I was purposely hung up on because the office was to busy to answer. I made a second call and the phone just rang and rang. I sent a text to the number they gave for questions but never got a response. Take what you want from this but I would just go to the county next time. By the way? I tested negative.

Went there for covid test. Initially there was not any appointment available however few windows opened up during the day and I was able to book for the day. It took around 30 mins end to end upon reaching there. Staff was polite and went about their business. Overall a great experience considering it has been a nightmare getting covid tested now a days.

Their website has caused me so much anxiety. I’ve only had bad experiences with this place, they don’t email results or call, their website is so beyond buggy Iv’e been timed out before the timer is up multiple times, and I’ve tried to book appointments for open time blocks that ended up already being scheduled. The amount of times I have had to renter me and my families information for their individually booked virtual appointments because you can’t just do one for the entire family. In addition to the time I successfully scheduled an in person for once to show up and they’re on lunch, for my scheduled appointment. Both me and another man who separately had his own appointment were told to leave. If I could leave a lower score I would.

We got COVID tested on Monday and were told that we would get the results by the end of the day. We didnt receive any emails, texts, or phone calls for 2 entire days. The only way we were able to get the results were by going in to the store. It still hasnt even been updated on our portal.UPDATE: Its a year later and they keep trying to randomly add charges. This is ridiculous and no one in their right mind should come here. AVOID!!!

I got tested here in Jan for covid-19, and it seemed more straightforward then. Harder to find the right option on the website, so I accident just signed up for an office visit. You changed that to a video consult then the test. So it worked out. Ha ha, took about 15min this time when I got to the test site, whereas in Jan because it was so crowded, took way more than an hour. Also, this is my 3rd negative from you, so thats great too. All 3 were exposures at work, but I never had any symptoms anyway.

MA Eliza was friendly, accommodating, a good listener. Dr. Kaur was knowledgeable, kind & sensitive, and cared about not giving too many prescriptions. I didnt feel rushed despite the nature of urgent care. Ive had many bad experiences with doctors, and this visit was a welcome relief.

I had to wait about 15-20 minutes before someone saw me, but the medical person who saw me virtually was very attentive and thorough. I made a mistake in telling her the city closest to me while she was on line with me. I tried to call your office within 5-10 minutes after realizing my mistake, but no one answered the phone the two times I called. It was very frustrating.So, I gave up and went to another location not associated with your company.

Made appointment for Covid test for travel. Arrived 6 minutes early and was told to wait outside for call. 20 minutes passed and no one calls. Went inside and receptionist asked me to get out. She doesn’t even explain how long the wait is and the person finally called and she has no clues what testings are accepted for travel. This is really bad and unprofessional.

The one doctor I trust no longer seems to attend, which is fine, but the rest of the staff was VERY unhelpful.Doctors-- My recent doctor spent 15 minutes explaining why I dont need to get immunization shots and her philosophy on it, and told me incorrect information about my illness that...Ive had and managed for 13 years at this point.The staff:Im doing immunization shots, and.. Ive been yelled at by receptionists over the phone to come in for a shot, when it was too early to get it. And...I can be wrong, so I go in, wait an hour, the doctor comes in and tells me its too soon to have a shot. So....I wasted an hour and 10$ co-pay, cool.So, after 6 months of immunization shots being given to me, I get a print out of what Ive had done, and...they did not keep track of them correctly! How!?Long-story-short, this place has gone down-hill. And it sucks overall. I will never go back there, and you all should avoid this place as well.

I had connectivity issues and the team was able to work with me to still receive a visit. That meant a lot to me because I was in pain and miserable.The visit was well prepared, organized, and addressed my problems.They made sure I was safe and got the care I needed.Hopefully, I dont need Urgent Care again, but 100% will go back to them if I do.

Not happy with the front desk girl in how her customer care is. I used my waze app, it does not take you to the location because its a new urgent care, I lost 10 min trying to find it. To get there from work on my lunch hour to test, I made app. In advance, and they call me 30 min. Before my app. And tell me I have to have a virtual app first, while I was at work. Thats not cool. Then you drive up behind the building and sit and wait.The nurse that came out was quick and very nice. I have to test weekly, I would advise finding the location first before you schedule app.

This office is expertly run by seasoned Medical Assistants, including Eliza and Abeera, who know how to handle a patient, and are experts at communication with the doctor on duty. Dr. Ramandeep Kaur has been my PCP for about 8 years. She always displays a lovely bedside manner, and handles the details of the appointment with the utmost efficiency and care for my personal comfort. She is a true professional, and a compassionate one, at that!

I had a covid test. The procedure went well but the delivery of the result was disappointing and took until the next day for a rapid test. Instant Care had emailed me many emails about the appointment and even this survey. I was under the assumption I would get an email. Instead the next day I called their office and learned I must sign up for the their portal and create an account and a password. How much easier to just email me? If this is federal regulation, then when you take the swab for the test give a slip of paper with directions. Anyone who is getting a Covid Test is already under some stress, make it easier on them. If this is your own protocol for delivering results - fix it.

Review №81

The process for Covid testing was really easy and if you get the virtual visit in the morning you can get tested and rapid test results same day. One thing was a little confusing but it was my first time. Could have made it clearer that you have to create a patient account on the Portal in order to get your results.

If there was a choice of minus stars I would dothat. My husband made a 9:00 appointment at the SanRamon CA location for a rapid COVID test as we were told we suddenly needed one to fly the next day to the Bahamas . Upon arriving we found the facility closed!!! We received a phone call that told us we needed an appointment with a care giver first. It was set up virtually at 11:50AM with an N.P. She finally became available at 12:20. We were told we would get a text telling us when to come in for the test. Never receiving the text we went back at 2:00PM as the facility closed at 4:00. We were given the tests and told the nice man we needed it emailed as we did not have an account. This was not done . After trying for over an hour I logged into the account. It did not show where the test was done which was required by the Bahamas We tried to call every number we could find and left messages and never got through. We even went back to San Ramon at 11:00 but it was closed. This was extremely frustrating. I hope they will let me on the plane!!

There is a pandemic. I had a cold. Some of my family are immunocompromised. My doctor says I should get a Covid test, my insurance provider says it is fully paid for. I call Instant Urgent Care because I live a block away. They need me to see their doctor first. It seems odd, that there is a barrier to getting tested, but fine. It is morning, when can I see a doctor, 2:50pm is the next available appointment. Now I have to download their app, fine. Log in and it says we are waiting for your provider. 30 minutes after my appointment was to begin, I begin to call to see what is the delay. It goes to voicemail 5 times. 45 minutes after my appointment was to begin they answer the phone and say they do not see me as logged into the system. I close and open their app and they finally see me, but there was no way for me to know that they couldn’t see me while I sat in front of my video call for 45 minutes! Then I was told to be patient... thanks.I eventually talked to a doctor who asked simple questions and said they would schedule me a test, but that they are just now stopping testing for the day.These delays will cause people to not get tested. These delays do not help if we are all trying to fight this pandemic. Something in the system needs to change if I can login and wait with no way of knowing that the office cannot see that I have logged in at all. Very frustrating.24 hour delay is too long.

I really like my doctor (Dr. Kaur) but the receptionists and service at Instant Urgent Care is abominable. They dont pick up their phone or communicate well so it is almost impossible to have referrals sent to other doctors or get a timely appointment. I would never come back here and have had to go through the hassle of switching my PCP to get away from this nightmare.

After 8 hours, I’m still waiting for covid test results that were supposed to be available in “a couple of hours”. I had to be interviewed by a doctor to get the test. No one answers the phone or responds to my texts. The message service at the website doesn’t work. The office claimed they were having abnormally high demand for services but when I went there, I was the only patient.In Mexico, I got a covid test with no wait and no appointment. No interview or requirement to show insurance. Results sent to me in less than an hour. Cost me $8.Welcome to the US health care system.

Virtual call for what ? Who came up with that idea ? To get a Covid test it should be in person no waste of time. I waited 40 min for virtual tele call. I Could not get response from virtual so never got the appointment. Then got a call saying that that they would call me for the virtual appointment They never called me back.I cannot ever recommend this people.This is supposed to be Urgent Care. If it was Urgent Care they would bring people for testing immediately and give COVID results ASAP ...within an hour. Bay Area services are pathetic and incompetent. No follow up Not professional. Wasted time driving to different offices to find out they dont provide Covid tests. What ? Why ? sad !Better. To Just go to your primary PCP Dr. or to emergency This people have so many 1 star reviews. Dont waste time and gas.

This was the only place nearby offering rapid covid testing so we could attend a public event with my child not fully vaccinated yet. I appreciated that we could walk in, wait in a room, swab and walk out. It is not a fancy place but they filled the need and they were kind and efficient.

Had 2 visits to this place and heres my take,- Dr. Kaur is very professional and handles your visit with care.- Both Primary and Urgent care- Very friendly front desk, always smiling. They are flexible to take you in even at times you are late by few minutes- Making Appointments are quick in their website or a phone call. Walk-ins welcome.- Wait time? No. From the time I checked in, I was taken into the room in 5 minutes. Trust me!! Havent seen any other urgent or primary care practice beat this time.- The best thing about them is their Patient portal. You get to see your test results, medications, manage appointments , billing, payment, all in one portal account thats created on first visit- Via the messaging system in the Patient Portal, you can also keep in touch with the Doctor or Office if you need any prescription refills, any questions or concerns.Trust me again! Dr. Kaur responds same hour or day and even in weekends. This is what I need when I go confused and need a urgent medical clarification***** They keep up with INSTANT in their name :)Practice is very clean

My doctor checked my sinuses my ears my eyes and said that before my sinuses were pretty bad and from the x-ray I got they were pretty bad but today they seemed a lot better and scheduled me to come back in two weeks to see if they stayed that way or if the allergies came back again she would prescribe an allergy medication.

My provider was 20 minutes late for our appointment. Instead of a doctor, I was given a nurse practitioner. She spent maybe two minutes talking to me then ordered me a Covid-19 test per my request because I had been exposed to someone with the virus. I was not able to go to work for an entire week while waiting for the results because I work at VA hospital. I emailed them three times asking for a doctors note stating that I was not able to go to work due to having symptoms and possible virus, but they never responded. When I went to review the doctors notes in the portal, there is no information at all about our conversation.

Review №99

The most unprofessional healthcare experience I have ever had. I came in regards to a lump in my abdomen and symptoms of acid reflux. I was checked in, paperwork filled out, bp/hr and oxygen all taken down. I am sitting in the exam room waiting to be seen by the doctor when I hear from behind a closed door in the reception area the doctor exclaiming the personal reason for my visit out loud. I could hear her irately announcing that “ She has a lump in her abdomen? Her other symptoms sound like COVID so she needs to go to the ER. We don’t do any imaging today anyways.” so not only did she explain my prognosis out loud unrightfully, in my opinion, she lumped symptoms together told me I had Covid and that was the reason why I could not be seen. It really sounded like she just didn’t want to see me because the facilities needed to give me proper care we’re not available that day. I did not even receive the courtesy of seeing the doctor or be told this information by the doctor and was curtly told there was nothing that could be done by the receptionist. Even the receptionist seemed confused as to how my symptoms correlated with Covid. I was never asked my Covid status even though I am vaccinated and when I asked to see the doctor the receptionist said she probably won’t want to talk me. I have been a victim of different forms of physical abuse so coming to a doctor to share info about my health and body is extremely difficult. This has made it even more so and I will struggle going to the doctor going forward because of this horrible experience. Please stay away from this facility if you are looking for proper bedside manner and a doctor who has enough human decency to speak to their own patient.This was the 5138 Monterey suite G location

I was potentially exposed to coronavirus. I had a 5 minute teledoc meeting on Friday, with the promise of a follow-up text message with details on how to get tested. The text message never came, so I called the number on the website.I spoke to an incredibly rude woman, who cut me off mid-sentence and was nothing short of condescending. She told me to just show up between noon and 4. When I asked if I needed anything, I got a curt Just your Drivers License. When I asked where the clinic was located, she rattled off the website URL and told me to go look it up.I arrived at the clinic at 2:20 pm. All the lights were off, and the door was locked. There was a sign on the door, directing any COVID test patients with a pre-booked appointment around the back, where someone would come out to meet you at your car.... But I had just been told there was no way to book a test, I was just supposed to show up. How does that work?Long story short, theres no one here, and Im clearly not getting a test today. Terrible experience all around, and Ill never use this company for any medical attention again.

One of the worst places to deal with for billing and payments. The doctor was great, but if you want billing nightmares, please feel free to go. It has been over 2 months and Im still waiting for a billing statement or invoice so I can reconcile. It seems like you will keep getting bills with no explanation, or not get any receipt even if you ask for it. If you call them, they always say the billing person is not in today, please call back on Monday or email. After writing 4 emails over 2 months, no one bothered to even acknowledge, let alone send the receipt. If you call on Monday, they say call back next week. How hard is it to email a receipt? I paid cash for a simple checkup at this clinic. What if you had insurance? Your billing nightmare will be severely more pronounced. Avoid this place at all costs. If Dr. Ramandeep Kaur is reading this - you need to move elsewhere. Your website says: our focus is on you. Thats absolute bs. Patient is the least of their concern. How much time one has to waste with you to just get a copy of the receipt or statement?

My son seen at the Fairfield Location. Appt was made for an telemedicine appt due to COVOID-19 symptoms. The NP was late to the appt , then told to get tested outside of the location, called to inform the clinic that he was waiting outside, he waited for a long time, mind you he is sick. Called the office to find out what was taking so long and they apologized, I guess they forgot about him. After the test he was told it would take 1-2 hours for results, waited all day and night but no results, had to call them he next morning for results which ended up being POSITIVE. Called them two days later for advice on his symptoms, no one answered the phone for over 40 mins. Called again and the NP answered , she was annoyed the entire conversation while asking her questions. I would NEVER recommend this clinic. Folks are already not feeling well and have to endure the stress of unprofessionalism while dealing with their illness. If I could give them half of one star I would.

Booked a telemedicine appointment to schedule a COVID-19 test. I filled out their required insurance, identity, and credit card forms. I waited in the provided video call for 30 minutes and nobody ever showed up!Their phone numbers also do not go to anyone.Update: After 40 minutes, I finally received a phone call setting up the quick-and-easy telemedicine visit.

I live in Italy and came back to California to finally visit my family after more than a year and a half due to Covid. In order to travel back to Italy, its required to have a negative Covid test. Since I dont have US health insurance having permanent residence in Italy, both the telemedicine consultation and the Covid test are out-of-pocket. However, none of the costs were advertised anywhere and it was a shock to discover that the telemedicine visit was nearly $100 and the test is over $200 for the rapid antigen test (which is the only option for travel due to turnaround times). Seeing as its necessary to get the test, I had no other choice but to accept. My Covid test appointment is for Friday and I still havent received the confirmation text with my window (Im writing this on Tuesday).If it werent for the very friendly staff who phoned me at the time of my telemedicine appointment, Id have given a rating of 1 star.

Let me start out with the good things: check in desk was fast, MA’s were friendly and hospitable.If you’re coming here with the hopes of feeling better as you’re sick, don’t come here. My 3 minutes with the doctor was the worst bedside manner I have EVER experienced in my entire life. I asked one question and she made me feel like I was the dumbest person for asking. I asked about getting a steroid shot. I didn’t push it or anything. I simply asked and boy did she make me regret opening my mouth. I already feel crappy bc I’m sick but I felt WORSE leaving this urgent care. She even swung the door open when she left and left it open as she stormed out like she was the one to be mad at me for asking a question. I never raised my voice, I didn’t undermine her position, and I was very respectful even though she clearly was not.The employee that saw me at discharge listened to my complaint about the doctor and assured the situation would be handled. My experience outside of the exam room was 5-Star. Unfortunately, that did not make up for my time during the exam.

The stars I’m giving are only for the easy breezy televisit and the amazing staff who provided my COVID test. The problem starts when you have to wait for 5 days for COVID results. Yes- the stated timing is 3-5 days, however if the last two of those days falls on a weekend you won’t get results until late Monday. For a test that is likely the most important right now it is simply a failure to have results sitting until two days after. Hire more staff! Full stop. This is the absolute worst and I have gotten burned by you twice awaiting results, no human being to talk to, canned replies to text messages and an endless pit of holding on for a callback that will come whenever it comes. Disgusting service. Catch up to the rest of the world who expedites COVID test results.Bw

Didnt know this was a private urgent care so there is no hospital network that it is tied to so that is something Im not used to that when trying to have results from an xray sent to them when I could see it on my patient portal before the xray place was closed for the weekend. But I know this isnt their fault. Im new to area (from the east coast) and just wanted to avoid a $150 copay at an ER but wanted a fast turnaround time for a possible broken ankle. The urgent care definitely made up for it and helped walk me through getting on their patient portal again since I misplaced the code and making sure I had my MRI paperwork before getting off the phone with me.

I had a severe leg injury so I had to rush to Instant urgent care, and instead of being seen by the doctor a physician assistant had a look at my injury. I was assuming he is a doctor which was not right you need to inform the patient atleast that there were no doctors available onsite since it was around 6 in the evening. In addition radiology is not open at this location so I had to go to a different location for an X-ray. Not only this I asked for medicines to reduce the pain which they should prescribe me since I was in utter pain instead of me asking for medicines. Not only this I asked for my X-ray reports for which they werent providing initially and asked me to make a follow up appointment which will be again charged. And by the time I got my X-ray reports it was already third day and my injury wasnt treated properly. I personally wont recommend anyone to visit the instant urgent care, not at all happy with the services and very expensive.

The healthcare professional I spoke with was very helpful and understanding about my concerns. She listened to my questions patiently and answered them clearly.Would have been 5 stars if it werent for that receptionist who scheduled the appointment and accused me of missing it. She sent me a text message of 1050am telemedicine appointment, when she meant 950am. She called me at around 0957 and said were you able to do your telemedicine? to which I responded you texted me 1050am. She vehemently denied it and when I told her I can send her a screenshot of the message, she HESITANTLY apologized. Look, everyone makes mistakes. Just apologize and own up. But to blame your customer for your mistake is just bad customer service!Updated review:Waited an hour for a follow up telemedicine, provider never showed up. Had to text them and didnt get a phone call after a few hours. Will updated this review again in the next several days.

They advertise covid rapid test and they do not!!!! I had an appointment at 9:10AM and hurried to get there and was disappointed. You have to do a video chat but that wasnt working (no Lie). Then they told to go to Stevenscreek urgent care at 11AM. That was not so it was 12PM. They are not helping people at all!!!!

Saw good reviews so I went. Pulled up to find graffiti on its building and was located between a 7-11 and liquor store—not to reassuring but shouldn’t judge a book by the cover.Walked my wife in who was in severe pain, they yelled at us to stay outside as they screen us for Covid. “That’s ok, they’re just doing their job,” I tell myself “no Covid symptoms just severe stomach pain, might be an ulcer!” Was our response.They said it would take a really long time to be seen there and we should go to an emergency room. There was not a single person in the waiting room! Seemed like they just wanted to turn people away. We happily drove to Kaiser instead and got actual help.

I had a bad pain and went to Instant Urgent care at 5138 Monterey Highway, Suite G, San Jose on 12/6/2022. Dr. Ramandeep Kaur made an inspection and decided its Pilonidal Abscess. She issued an antibiotic prescription to my pharmacy, gave me care instruction and detailed information of the disease. Shes very good doctor and a appreciate the timely service that IUC provided.

Came to have a rapid covid test. Told results in one hour. Five hours later now, and the weekend conference is now at risk. I am on the staff. My husband has attempted to get information with no result. We have no lab results. Rrrrr.

Website has VERY confusing information regarding Covid-19 testng. Times and locations are ALL wrong. And theyre very unresponsive to phone calls. Took 3-4 appointments to get anywhere, and im not even finished until tomorrow (fingers crossed). Plan on 2 days and a LOT of wasted time if you go to them for testing. Instant theyre not.

We were told to go to the Berkeley location and waited for 40 minutes until we learned from the people in the car ahead of us who had waited for over an hour that the site was closed and was told to go to San Ramon. After texting several times I was called by someone who apologized and said the telemedicine provider was new and didn’t know the site was closed. We went to San Ramon and the provider who did the swab was super nice and everything went very well but the time waiting in Berkeley was very stressful.

We went to Urgent Care for a same day Covid Test. We never received the results. Instead, we received multiple text and email requests for a review. It seems like getting a review was more important to them than getting us a result.

I’m giving this place 5 stars because the two people working here on Sunday, May 8th around 9-10am were so helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to help me and make sure I received the care I needed. I wish I would have gotten their names. We need more people like this working at these type of places.

I had my telehealth appointment at 10:40am today (8/19). At 3:33pm I get a text that my covid testing window was from 11-12pm earlier in the day and in Dublin instead of San Ramon. I race down to Dublin anyway just for them to be closed at 4pm.

Medical service was great, but their billing department is TERRIBLE. They over charged me in April by over $300 and I was told they would refund it. Its now almost September and no refund. Ive been calling them for months and no one ever answers the phone. There is no way to resolve the issue online. I have left multiple messages and no one has returned my calls. I would like my money back!

Their instructions aren’t clear, the website states Rapid PCR Covid testing available however I’ve heard three different conflicting comments from the staff. 1) Virtual Appointment technician said there isn’t a rapid PCR test, only antigen. 2) Technician performing test stated they haven’t received the test kits for rapid PCR test and 3) Follow up technician called and said they only offer PCR rapid testing at the Sunnyvale location.

They called me for a virtual consultation and said they would text me with my appointment information to get a rapid Covid test done for the next day. I never received a text with my appointment information. I also reached out to their phone number they provided if I have questions and they never answered me back. Terrible service.

Review №177

This place earned a 1 star because of the nurse who was helping me with a positive attitude the entire time.I came in to get my physical exam done for work on Saturday. One of the receptionists here was talking in such a rude manner. One of them said the cost is $139, and then told me to sit down to fill out some paper work. Then the rude one was like “hey you know you have to pay $139?” I mean, I don’t wanna be nitpicking and stuff... but I didn’t sit down and not pull out my card because I didn’t want to pay... lololAnyways, so after the nurse guy helped me, the doctor walked in. First of all, she was picking on my answers that I filled out on the paper. She kept yelling at me for saying I don’t know about my family history part. So basically I said I don’t know who has TB in my family but my TB test result was positive and my X-ray was fine. She went up hella close to my face and said “if you don’t know who has it in your family then you put no.” I even showed her an electronic copy of my X-ray result, but she was like “I’m asking you a question, not for that.” Boy, this lady has so much attitude. For a doctor, she is so petty... seriously! Usually, other doctors would just move on. Jesus christ. The entire exam was basically arguments and arguments. If you happen to go to this clinic, ask who’s in for today before you proceed an examination! Cause apparently, there are better doctors here.P/S i think her name is Dr. Aiia (or Alla) Rovoza whatever. She has like a thick accent. Avoid her.

Waiting of 2hrs is uncalled for, especially appt for a 10sec swab. Thats ridiculous! Yall need to improve in your process. Perhaps swab people as they come. Dont know why we have to wait 2hrs just to get a 10sec nose swab. Duh!!!

Was kinda weird, having to wait in my car, to receive a phone call from the clinic, then later, have them call me again to tell me to come in. I guess that is the Covid norm ... but otherwise, the test was quick, and just had to wait for my results later in the day.

The TeleMed process was professionally performed by a medical doctor who asked appropriate questions regarding causes, symptoms and purposes of the Covid-19 Test request before assigning the appropriate scheduled appointment and location. If English is not your primary language then you must either request an interpreter or have your own translator.

I didnt mind waiting 2.5 hours for care, but to wait that long and have the doctor say take an ibuprofen and come back next week is absurd. Not wanting to conduct further tests when I cant hear out of one ear because it is a time-consuming process and were closing soon is absurd.
