I was from out of town and was able to get a same day appointment without issue. I only waited about 5 minutes after arriving and all the staff, nurse and doctor were kind and very helpful. My prescriptions were send to the correct location and ready for pick up in an hour. Overall excellent experience. Would definitely recommend.

The online scheduling was easy with the time slot availability shown. The hour is great, open later than others in the area, avoided going to ER. I arrived & check-in was smooth & no wait. Aria looked over my wound & stitch up the cut, & the support staff was friendly & professional. I barely felt it during the process, & she periodically reminded me if too painful, she can numb more. Great facility!

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.

Melanie went out of her way to accommodate my husband and me when we came in to get Covid tests. Due to our unforeseen scheduling error, we didn't have an appointment at that time, but she said we could wait in case she could fit us in between patients, even though they were fully booked. She was able to complete our tests quickly and courteously. We were extremely pleased with the care we received. Thanks, Melanie!

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.

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.

I am from out of state visiting in the area. I chose this facility from reading the reviews and roughly knew the area of the location. I made an online appointment. From the moment I walked into the facility, being seen and treated, I have nothing but praise and respect for the staff as well as the care I received. I’m this day and age and just visiting with having an unfortunate reason to be seen/treated I was completely satisfied. A little more pricey than I expected but what can I say? Thank you just the same for your professionalism.

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.

About Hepatitis test

Who should get tested for hepatitis?

According to the CDC, anyone can contract hepatitis, but certain groups are at a higher risk. These include individuals who have been in close contact with someone who has hepatitis, those who have used injected drugs, men who have sexual contact with other men, and people with multiple sexual partners. Additionally, individuals who have traveled to countries with high rates of hepatitis, healthcare workers, and those living with HIV are also at a higher risk.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for hepatitis is crucial, as it can lead to serious health complications if left undiagnosed and untreated. Hepatitis can cause liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. Early detection can help prevent these complications, and treatment can help manage the symptoms. Moreover, knowing your hepatitis status can help prevent the spread of the virus to others.

Hepatitis testing options in San Carlos, CA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

Urgent care and walk-in clinics provide convenient and quick hepatitis testing services. For instance, Carbon Health Urgent & Primary Care in nearby San Mateo offers short wait times and friendly staff. You can book same-day and next-day appointments through Solv's website and mobile app.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are another excellent option for hepatitis testing. They can provide comprehensive care and follow-up after the test. If you have a primary care provider in San Carlos, consider discussing your concerns about hepatitis with them.

Free STD testing and community health centers

Community health centers often offer free or low-cost hepatitis testing, making them a great option for those on a tight budget. These centers are usually funded by the government or non-profit organizations and aim to provide accessible healthcare services to the community.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits for hepatitis are also available. These kits can be ordered online and used in the privacy of your own home, with results typically available within a few days.

Prevalence of hepatitis in San Carlos

While specific data for San Carlos is not readily available, San Mateo County, where San Carlos is located, has seen a steady increase in hepatitis cases over the years, according to the CDC. This trend is in line with the national increase in hepatitis cases. It's important to note that the actual number of hepatitis cases may be higher, as many people with the virus do not have symptoms and are not aware they are infected.

Risk factors related to hepatitis in San Carlos

Risk factors for hepatitis in San Carlos are similar to those in other parts of the country. These include unprotected sex, sharing needles for drug use, close contact with a person who has hepatitis, and travel to countries with high rates of hepatitis.

Other STDs in San Carlos

In addition to hepatitis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis are also prevalent in San Carlos and the surrounding areas. Regular testing for these STDs is recommended for those at risk. Testing locations like AED Urgent Care in Newark and Instant Urgent Care in Sunnyvale provide comprehensive STD testing services.
