Half way through my appointment, the fire alarm went off. We all had to be evacuated. I had been putting my appointment off for the issue for a year. I finally scheduled it, and boom... you gotta go (lol). It wasn't their fault though. Other than that, I was very pleased with everything.

The check in computer machines were too complicated for Senior Citizens and individuals who are not computer savvy.  We had to use several check in machines to check in. The receptionist had to use two machines before she could check us in. Staff was very nice.

I've been here three times, and all three times I found it so convenient. They were all so kind, professional, and helpful. They followed up within the next few days. I'm grateful for their availability, scheduling system, kindness, and expertise. I even got an Xray there. I highly recommend them.

Had been experiencing jaw pain for a few days and I knew I wouldn’t be able to see my dentist until at least Monday. I was hesitant to go urgent care on a Saturday, I assumed I’d be waiting forever and for jaw pain, they wouldn’t be able to do much. But actually, I reserved a spot online and they took me right away. The medical assistant and doctor were so nice, helped me as best as they could, and sent me home with a prescription that eased the pain tremendously the next day. I’d never been to this location before but I’m glad I made the trip and the next time I need to go to urgent care, I’ll be going here. Thank you everyone at AFC Piscataway !

I saw my primary on Thursday for the same condition (at a health system considered the premier in the mid-Atlantic region). They did no tests and prescribed no remedy. Today (Saturday) came here. They sorted me out and scheduled future tests. So, they solved my issues.

There is a lack of good communication between the front desk and the doctor in charge of calling back patients. Even though this doctor told me she has a policy of returning calls at the end of the day, she wasn’t able to tell that to the front desk so they tell the patient. Unfortunately I wasted an appointment visit that she was not willing to not charge, but better yet, loosing a new customer. Is sad to see how greedy director she is.  The staff in general is ok. Nurses are nice and even apologetic about this situation. But as they say, this matter was above their capabilities. If k ever go back I’ll make sure I’ll never have to see this lady dr director.

Was able to get a same day morning appointment to follow up on a lingering cold. Booked appointment easily online. All staff I interacted with were professional, efficient and very nice. I felt that Sherry, the NP I saw, was very thorough and thoughtful about my diagnosis and recommendations for treatment. Would definitely recommend Carbon Health and thank them for their services.

In these times, I expected to wait at least an hour, especially since I was a walk in. The front staff and the staff taking my vitals couldn't have been nicer. I understand you are very busy but I did expect to spend more than 2 or 3 minutes with your nurse practitioner. She informed me that she would be doing a covid test and that if it was positive I would have to quarantine for 2 weeks. She listened to my lungs and said she would be calling a prescription into my pharmacy. She asked if I was vaccinated and when I said yes she said "Never mind. I" m not going to do a covid test". She said it would be awhile before she could call in the prescription because she had other patients to see....and she was gone. Never told me what she suspected was the problem. Never asked if I had any questions. At 4:30, I called the office and left a message asking about the prescription. It is now after 6pm and still no call from CVS that a prescription is ready for me. If she had given me 30 seconds more of her time, she could have ordered the prescription. I would have been able to start the medication hours ago and she would have one less thing to deal with in her obviously busy schedule.

I came in to the facility at 2:21pm gave my name and was told to fill out the iPad and then wait in my car. As such, I went to my car and completed the paperwork online as indicated. This all wrapped up probably by 2:30pm. Then at 3:26pm the facility called to verify my name and why I was there I told her I was waiting for a PCR covid test and that I’m in a Hyundai palisade. She asked me a few more questions and then said she’d be right out. Called me again at 3.29p to ask what type of car I’m in. I explained that I’m in a Hyundai palisade. She said ok I’ll be right out. At 3.53pm I called and spoke to receptionist and said I’m waiting in the parking lot for a PCR Covid test and they said they’d be out shortly to administer the test but they haven’t come out yet and I was wondering if she is having trouble finding my car. The receptionist asked me to hold, came back and said that she just spoke to the girl and that she said I’m ok to go. And I said I am? Even though I haven’t received what it is I’m here to receive…a PCR COvid test. The receptionist said that the girl told her she already tested me and I assured her that no one has been out to my car. Eventually the girl came out and performed the procedure and told me that she thought the last person she did was me. So after spending 1 and 1/2 hours in your parking lot do to confusion, when I do get my results…I’m not 100% confident that the results are mine or those of someone else’s that she thought was me and possibly mislabeled and sent in. Very concerning. And when I arrived the waiting room had one person in there so backlog wasn’t the issue.

I highly recommend this place to go when not feeling well or Covid testing needs to be done. The staff of doctors, nurses and even the receptionist are so kind and polite. The first time I came I had recently lost my daughter and her husband to Covid, so I came to get Covid tested and also because I was feeling terrible with a sinus infection and unexplained dizziness. Their compassion was overwhelming. I was diagnosed with a sinus infection and vertigo, the doctor took her time to examine me and also explained how stress could add to the vertigo. Would I recommend this facility, I sure would ! The wait time was less than 15 minutes, I did not feel rushed at all and all attention was on me. So yes yes yes, if you can’t be seen by your primary care doctor, this is the place to go.

we had actually visited your Wall location on Sat with our 6 year old Beau Spader for Covid testing. The person that assisted us never said who she was, her position etc. her bedside manner was severely lacking in care & concern and was not informative at all .......my son tested negative on the rapid so we had to request a PCR , she seemed annoyed that we requested this, our PCR came back positive ..... this prompted our next scheduled testing for the rest of our family. We decided to use the Hazlitt location .... What a drastic difference in care ...... The receptionist was immediately welcoming and processed us quickly. I had downloaded the App so most of our information was there. We were seen within 2 mins of arrival by C.Illvento who immediately introduced herself and her position and the care she would be providing. She was gentle , empathetic and caring to my sons and myself. I can’t say enough about this location and how kind and professional she was. The nurse that administered the test also did so with care..... thank you for taking such good care of my family. I wish my 6 year old experienced the same.

This is my first experience I have a disability and use a power wheelchair that doctor on telehealth unfortunately there were technical issues, she immediately called my phone - heard my situation. She made sure I did not have to get out of my van and accommodated me which is rare at times and considering I'm not feeling well I really appreciate it them saving you the struggle of going into the facility I believe that gentleman who came & took my test is Zamesh, I'm not 100% sure how to spell it he was so kind and after struggling all day to find somewhere to take this test I was so thankful for the extended hours you have I was shocked by now places like CVS do not offer the hours for testing past 5:00 p.m. I lucked out on Google search. And I cannot administer a self-test in a place like CVS so that was another thing your facility does that I would highly recommend this to my family and friends exception for the wait time for the video call they did explain to me when I call them while waiting they were very busy but if you take that much time. Again I highly regardless place as a place for people like myself people with mobility disabilities and the elderly. As I said it's location and the services offered for adults I wish you did offer other services for adults but this was a lightsaver for me. Thank you again..I'm new to solv the only thing I did not like was not having the ability to scan in my secondary insurance that I had to manually enter and I was not too happy that I had to enter my SS# just for privacy reasons I would have rather done that at the facility.

This place had over a dozen openings on the same day. Rapid testing was available. Had to wait a bit in the car, but as soon as I was called in they took me back. My husband was also tested in the same room with me. Jessica was extremely friendly and nice during a time I’m sure is stressful being around so many sick people. Nursing is putting your life on the line these days. I thanked her for her service. Then doctor Preston came in and he was extremely proficient and asked many questions and answers all of ours. Came across as a very caring doctor/ person. Made sure he assisted with all of our needs/ questions. At the end of the visit he even walked us out of the room to the door and said take care. Who does that?? It’s rare and I would totally recommend. Great job guys!

I came in Sunday morn, and the girl in front of me was getting a rapid COVID test , she was asked to sign in on the pad which she did with her bare fingers, then she had to wait outside, when I went up the girl asked me to sign in on the pad , I said no because you didn’t sanitize the pad the girl Just signed in on , she looked at me and said “well we do it every hour” OK seriously that is not an answer, that pad should’ve been sanitized after everybody signed in,actually it probably shouldn’t even be used, it is probably better just to put the information in with the receptionist! I asked her to please sanitize it and she did not , she said I’ll just take your information here ,,,, so you have a girl coming in possibility with Covid, using her fingers to sign in on a pad, and you expect me to sign in after her ?? That is the reason I would not recommend this place,and that was an unacceptable answer, “We sanitize every hour “ !! your policy needs to be changed but other than that everything else was fine !

From the moment I walked into your facility I was greeted professionally, courteously , and kindly by Trish. When nurse Jasmine saw me she was also patient, kind and Caring. Jasmine had to take blood. She did a fabulous job! Jasmine was able to find my vein on her first attempt and did not hurt me. While swabbing my nose for the COVID test jasmine was extremely gentle. When Dr. Davis saw me he was fantastic ! Dr. Davis was patient, caring and extremely professional . He asked me many questions about my symptoms and how I was feeling. Dr. Davis checked my throughly. Dr. Davis explained what I was experiencing and made me feel very comforted. After I left your facility Dr. Davis called me as a follow up on when I should expect the results of my blood, urin test and my COVID test. Two days after my blood samples were taken Dr. Davis called me with my results. Again Dr. Davis reviewed my test results and explained each of my test results. I highly recommend using your facility and your staff! Respectfully a very satisfied patient

I went in to get a rapid antigen test for travel. From the online scheduling through the results, everything was seem less. I got there 10 mins before my appointment time and was seen on time. All of the staff was friendly and professional. I let the tech doing the testing know that it was my first time and I was nervous. She assured me she would take her time and explained thoroughly the procedure and showed me the testing stick she would use. It was painless and I only felt a tickle in the back of my nostril. I was given my physical results in 10 mins. The Dr on staff even came in after the test was done to introduce himself and say hello. This was a rare and surprising visit and I will recommend this office and won’t hesitate to go back.

It was a okay experience. I went in for chest congestion and coughing. They gave me a COVID test and came back and said it was negative. Mind you I knew I didn’t have COVID I had already had it recently. They were just going to send me home with my negative results and no other explanation. I could possibly have bronchitis and nothing was checked. He did a quick lung check over my hoodie on my back and said it was clear. Yet I’m coughing up mucus. It just seemed like they wanted me in and out. I wanted a hour just to be given cough medicine and an inhaler abs no other details. It seems like it’s either you have COVID or you don’t and that’s it. I think the bed side manner as disappeared. Oh and I’m still sick going on 2 weeks now.

I went to the Ron’s River office and had a reservation. I was late but I called the office earlier in the day and they said they would note that I was late. The lady was very iunderstanding about. However when I arrive, yes I was pass my time and the receptionist was was trying to help me but I got upset. However, this lady Sandy or Sandra came from behind the back and was extremely rude. I take accountability for the way I was w the receptionist when I arrived but I was only there for a pre-op COVID19 test. I told the lady Sandy or Sandy that I was going to report her. I left very disappointed, upset and never experienced that kind inappropriate and unprofessional behavior there before. It was important that I have this test at certain time before surgery. I waited a little while after I regrouped myself and called the office back. I spoke with an extremely kind and courteous woman Nicole that explained how the reservation works and that it’s not really appointment but rather a place in the cue. I appreciated her help and professional in informing me how it works when scheduling online. She told me I was still in the system and I would have a 20-30 minute wait but when I got there to come check in. As soon as I arrived Nicole was on the phone but the receptionist that was there earlier asked if I was Blaisa and brought me right in the back. I apologized to her about I reacted earlier and then Nicole got off the phone and I thank her for being accommodating and that I appreciated it. When the girl brought me to the room, I apologized again. I now feel great with my experience and will reconfirm that office.

This is my 3rd time over the past few months that I have been to this location for Covid testing. The first 2 times everything & everyone was AMAZING!! This time I also came for a Covid test and the staff Stacy that was assigned to take my vitals as well as perform my Covid test was THEE ABSOLUTE WORSE from her attitude to her poor bedside manner and want to be argumentative with me when I asked for someone else to do my test. The first issue was when she went to take my temperature with the “under tongue” thermometer and I pulled my mask down she said “no keep your mask on” and was about to insert the thermometer in MY NOSE! Then she corrected herself and proceeded to take it under my tongue. Next she starts to perform my Covid swab test and aggressively dug deep in my nose and swirled the swab more then 15 or so times AGGRESSIVELY...when I moved in discomfort she rudely said “you need to stay still” When I explained to her that this is my 3rd Covid test here and nobody else aggressively dug that deep and long she rudely said “well we all have our own technique” At that point I asked for someone else to perform the test and Wendy came in and did so with ease! As I was explaining to Wendy what the issue was with Stacy all of a sudden Stacy popped back into the explain herself. When I was done I spoke with the office manager Jessica and she was also very professional & pleasant like all of the other staff besides Stacy. I will continue to use this facility but not Stacy. Even if she was having a bad day like we all do sometimes...her unprofessionalism is unacceptable.

Overall positive experience. However, check in situation could have been better. Would rather just check in with receptionist than have to use iPad and phone. And then have to fill out paper form as well. Doesn’t really make sense. Physicians assistant or whoever was at intake and took vitals as well as assisted doctor and did tests was absolutely wonderful. She is a truly caring medical professional who made my Stressful visit much more tolerable. I only wish I got her name so I could properly express my appreciation. The care from Dr was sufficient, but the excessive amount of PPE used was actually concerning and made communication difficult. It was hard to understand dr speaking thru mask and face shield, over the sound of The plastic gown moving. The Dr only touched my arm at arms length, and my reason for visit was not for anything virus related. Also being forced to wear a mask, heightened my already stressful situation. So much so, that an ekg was needed. Thankful for PA who was comforting and made it tolerable. I also signed up for app so I would be able to get the “summary” of my visit. And I am unable to do so. I did not get a summary when I left. Is that something that is still given?

The check in process was a little rough. The woman that checked me in was not the most pleasant person but I will chalk it up to Covid. When trying not to yell my info to her because of the masks she seemed to be annoyed that she could not hear me. I wish for the front desk staff they had better accommodations to check patients in. I know it can be very frustrating to have people just stand there and stare at you while you are trying to do work that needs to get done before you can help them out. I wish people in general had more patience when it comes to not knowing what goes on just because there is not a person in front of the employee. Todd the gentleman that took my vitals and administered the test was amazing. Haley the PA was also amazing. I would recommend Riverside Urgent Care and if I needed to I would go back to the facility.

The first staff and doctor could not do enough for me after testing positive to Covid. Actually sent me to the ER for even more help. The hospital called me to say I had pneumonia and go to urgent care just so the can take a listen. Also I had a sinus infection plus Covid had settled in my back I couldn’t hardly walk. So I went back and they refused to see me because my 10 days wasn’t up. Even after I told them how bad I was. They told me to come back on Sunday which was my 10 day. I took a turn for the worst. It was horrible pain I was in, I had a very hard time breathing. Went back on Sunday and the dr couldn’t have been nicer. Nurse told me that was really upsetting that they turned you away. So now I am on an antibiotic and steroid which I wish I would’ve started on Friday I am out of work for another 4 days. Which I was out the whole last week. I was told my quarantine was up on 11/13. Hopefully returning to work on Monday. I just started my job only working 3 days. I know it is no one’s fault I go Covid, but I wish I wasn’t turned away on Friday.

My second visit for testing today -- everyone was friendly except for the receptionists. (On my first visit, my receptionist was very sweet and helpful.) The temperature reader was unplugged this time around.. which was odd. There were two receptionists present on this particular visit and the one that chose to speak to me had an apparent attitude. I had come for my 5:30 appt and informed her why I was here. She was very short and not friendly at all. I just wish she was kind enough to understand that not everyone is savvy to which covid test is which. She just kept asking me which one was I there for in a stern voice without explaining to me the difference between the two. She did mention the costs of course. While I was explaining to her why I was here for my return visit and she would blankly stare with silence as if I was speaking another language. It was very frustrating and confusing dealing with her. The clinical staff was amazing as they were on my first visit.

I wanted a rapid COVID-19 test. I could not make an appt on the 31st. I was told to show up early on the 1st as a walk in. I was there at 7:35 am waiting in line. At 7:45 a woman told us there would be no walk in appt for testing an we needed to go online and make an appt. Well, that part sucked. I did make an appt for 2:30 that day. I showed up 15 min early and had already submitted my insurance information on line. From there is was a short 15 minute wait in my car and I was called in. The staff was pleasant, and the doctor was very friendly, professional and answered all my questions. I did not feel rushed at all. I understand sometimes software (especially scheduling) have glitches and I will still award 5 stars. Thank you, A very happy patient.

I have know Dan Murtha thru business networking, many years. He has always dine amazing work with overall operation. I got to witness that when I set up and had a COVID test. I called s few days ahead, to schedule. The lovely female staff member instructed me that if I fo online to register the day before (8am is when schedule is set up for next day) that I should be able to get 3 appts in together, without trouble. Wed, I had alittle difficulty registering my hubby. I called and spoke to Clinical staff member Erica. She assisted me with online registration. I was stressed with the idea that my hubby had been exposed to the virus, and myself and my mother in law also had to be tested. I wanted to make sure that all 3 of us were tested in 10 min time frames consecutively. Erica was compassionate to my needs, registering us from her end. I was able to fill out insurance from my phone easily. I liked how I was informed via text, and could check my wait time. I arrived 20 mins early, and did not have a long wait time. Outside of building looked clean and neat. Inside was decorated in relaxing neutral colors with a modern feel. Immaculate! Very large waiting area allowed seating to be properly spaced, and then some! Aliki Galandos took our info from car, called us to come in, and brought us back to complete testing. She was patient, answering all of our questions cheerfully. She explained process and allowed time for any other questions.(first time for all of us!). She explained timing of pcr test results, and how to retrieve them thru Lab Corp online. Excellent experience. We left extremely satisfied. I have always referred family and friends to this Urgent Care since I met Dan, and saw his passion regarding his extremely well run front end staff and clinical team. This week I got to witness the great care myself, and I was not disapointed!

It was my 1st getting the nose swab Covid test. Honestly the nurse gave examples of what to expect and they were right on point. Plus she was really gentle while the sample was being taken. It really wasn’t bad at all. Not sure why everyone gets all worked up it about the nose swab because that’s a much more accurate test if I’m gonna be tested. I recommend anyone interested in getting tested this facility is the place to go. The one in Edgewater, by Trader Joe’s. Just before you go down to the office, 1st download the Solv app to your phone. Once you go inside you put in your phone number into the iPad. Really easy and safe to check in. Then you fill out the rest of your information from the privacy of your car. Takes about 3-5 minutes. After that you see your place in line which is kinda cool. The office will text you once they have a room ready for you to come inside. Your test results will be emailed to you generally in about 1-2 days depending on how many people are being tested in that period of time. I recommend this place if your interested in being tested. Thumbs up.
