My husband & I tested positive for COVID this AM. We both were able to very conveniently make online appointments for medical evaluations within 30 minutes of our requests. The UC Village-Albany Urgent Care clinic is modern and attractive with highly efficient, very welcoming, friendly, professional & personable administrative and medical staffs. All of the medical personnel have very kind and empathetic bedside manners and listened very well to (and heard!) and were responsive to our medical concerns and questions. We both were in and out of our appointments within 30 minutes. We are very appreciative and truly grateful to have your clinic so conveniently located near our home. Please keep up the great work!

Wait time was unexpectedly long!  I was there for one hour and 15 mins for an EKG the order was sent the day before so that was not the problem. Was called 15 mins after my scheduled appt and there was only one other person in the waiting room when I was called. Also when I arrived there was one person ahead of me.  Provider was very good and staff friendly. The assistant who who performed the EKG was great knowledge about the procedure. After the procedure I had a wait again another 15 mins.

Everything was great, especially my nurse practitioner. I have been there several times for everything from a broken bone to covid symptoms this time and it has always been excellent. Can't figured out the star system, but check the highest rating for me. Thanks for your help.

Wait time was good, got in at 1:40pm for my 1:30pm appointment. Staff was friendly and explained things to me. I did kind of get the impression that they were tired of me because I was trying to ask clarifying questions to make sure that later on I will not be thinking about the questions I was afraid to ask :P. It’s very easy for me to just accept what I’m told, and not ask anything, but I’m trying to learn to advocate for myself because it seems like that’s what is needed in healthcare. But I could tell they were definitely getting tired of me asking my dumb questions and just repeating answers they already gave because I was obviously didn’t hear it the first time. I probably need to work on my communication skills because I don’t feel like either of us felt like we were getting through to the other person. It felt like we both felt like we knew what the other person was saying and that they just weren’t willing to hear it.

This place is a hidden gem! I always try and avoid urgent care places as it’s usually a long wait, lots of people, not the cleanest and just difficult. But here, once I arrived the check in was seamless, the staff was friendly, the office very clean. And to top it off my doctor spent so much time with me ane was kind and listened. Highly recommend!

Had been coughing for a week and from experience knew I had an infection.  Went to urgent care as a walk in and was seen right away.  Very thorough exam.  Ended up with pneumonia and started antibiotics.  Was advised to follow up when I return to the East coast.

Came in for an appointment and was seen almost instantly. I had to wait no longer than 5 minutes which is extremely quick compared to other offices I been to. The staff is very friendly and helped answer any questions I had. And scheduling an appointment is very easy it only took a few minutes to upload my information. I would definitely recommend this provider!

Sparkling Clean

After visiting Carbon about 10 days ago for an ear canal that was clogged with wax, my symptoms returned (ear pain, moist discharge from the ear canal.) So, unable to get an appointment with my PCP, I scheduled an appointment at Carbon. This time a different doctor saw me. As soon as she entered the room and asked me what was going on and learned that I had been using carbon oxide drops to try and re-clear my ear, she berated me and told me that I should not do that. She berated me over and over, like I was a stupid person, which put me off guard and had the effect of shutting me up. Then she looked in my ears and pronounced me to be healthy… nothing wrong. It felt like she wanted to be done with me. I told her that I had pain in my ear (to which she interrupted “take Advil”) and that every morning I woke up with a moist and slightly not nice smelling moist discharge coming from my ear. I asked if this is something that could be solved with antibiotics or steroids. She said she could give me prednisone “if I wanted” as if I would be the one to make the prescribing decision. Then I told her about the discharge and she said that she could give me some antibiotic drops, and that I should take Guifenesen. The doctor made very little effort to understand my issue and symptoms, and she had a pretty awful bedside manner. I would not want to see this doctor again. I left having zero sense of resolution, and zero confidence in the treatment plan she gave me. I guess I will try to see my PCP or go to an ENT. This was an awful waste of time and money. She prescribed antibiotic ear drops, and did not prescribe the prednisone.

Booked a 4:00 appointment but waited 50 minutes. Everyone was very nice. But, the bathroom had a bunch of red residue from tape or something else all over

I was very impressed with the care I received from start to finish.  I arrived without an appointment and was seen quickly and efficiently with courtesy and consideration shown by all the personnel as well as the physician.  I would definitely recommend Stat Med Urgent Care in Lafayette to anyone seeking medical care.

About Hepatitis test

Who should get tested for hepatitis?

According to the CDC, anyone who has been exposed to blood or body fluids of an infected person should get tested for hepatitis. This includes people who have shared needles or other drug-injection equipment, healthcare workers, people with HIV, men who have sex with men, and people who have had sexual contact with an infected person. In Hercules, CA, it's also important for people who have traveled to or are from areas with high hepatitis prevalence to get tested.

Importance of getting tested

The importance of getting tested for hepatitis cannot be overstated. Hepatitis, if left untreated, can lead to serious health complications such as liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Early detection can help prevent these complications and ensure appropriate treatment and management of the disease. Additionally, knowing one's hepatitis status can help prevent the spread of the disease to others.

Hepatitis testing options in Hercules, CA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics offer convenient and immediate access to hepatitis testing. One such location in the Hercules area is Carbon Health Urgent Care in Richmond, CA. They offer same-day and next-day appointments, which can be booked through Solv’s website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are also a good option for hepatitis testing. They can provide ongoing care and management if you test positive.

Free STD testing and community health centers

For those with financial constraints, free STD testing and community health centers provide an affordable option for hepatitis testing.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits provide a private and convenient option for hepatitis testing. These kits can be ordered online, used at home, and then sent back to a lab for analysis.

Prevalence of hepatitis in Hercules

Hercules, located in Contra Costa County, has seen a steady number of hepatitis cases over the years. According to the CDC, the county's hepatitis prevalence is similar to the national average. However, it's important to note that the actual number of cases may be higher, as many people with hepatitis are unaware they are infected.

Risk factors related to hepatitis in Hercules

Risk factors for hepatitis in Hercules include drug use, unprotected sex, and travel to high-risk areas. Socioeconomic factors such as access to healthcare and education also play a role in the prevalence of hepatitis.

Other STDs in Hercules

In addition to hepatitis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis are also prevalent in Hercules. It's important to get tested for these STDs as well, as they can often occur together.

In conclusion, getting tested for hepatitis and other STDs is crucial for maintaining good health and preventing the spread of these diseases. With over 30 nearby locations for testing, including urgent care centers and medical laboratories, residents of Hercules have convenient options for getting tested.
