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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The attending doctor was very efficient and understanding.  I ended up with an injection that stopped severe itching within 15 minutes of leaving the facility.  Her decision was right on.  I found the entire staff to be very warm.  Excellent health care.

About Hepatitis test

Who should get tested for hepatitis?

According to the CDC, anyone who has been exposed to the hepatitis virus, has had sexual contact with an infected person, or has shared needles during drug use should get tested. Additionally, those who have traveled to countries with high rates of hepatitis, have been incarcerated, or have received a tattoo or piercing in an unclean environment are also at risk. Pregnant women, men who have sex with men, and individuals with HIV are also advised to get tested.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for hepatitis is crucial as it can lead to serious health complications if left untreated, including liver damage, liver cancer, and even death. Early detection allows for immediate treatment, reducing the risk of these severe outcomes. Moreover, individuals who are unaware they have hepatitis can unknowingly spread the virus to others. Testing ensures that infected individuals can take steps to protect their partners and prevent further transmission.

Hepatitis testing options in San Mateo, CA:

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

For immediate testing, urgent care and walk-in clinics are a great option. Carbon Health Urgent & Primary Care in San Mateo is a highly-rated facility with a short wait time, making it a convenient choice for hepatitis testing.

Primary care providers

Primary care providers are a reliable source for hepatitis testing. They can provide a comprehensive evaluation of your health and guide you through the testing process.

Free STD testing and community health centers

Free STD testing and community health centers offer an affordable option for hepatitis testing. These centers are often funded by the government or non-profit organizations and aim to make healthcare accessible to all.

At-home testing

At-home testing kits are another convenient option. These kits can be ordered online, used in the privacy of your own home, and then sent back to a lab for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days.

Prevalence of hepatitis in San Mateo

San Mateo County has seen a steady increase in hepatitis cases over the years, mirroring the national trend. According to the CDC, this rise can be attributed to increased drug use and unprotected sex. Comparatively, nearby counties such as Washoe and Tuolumne have seen similar trends.

Risk factors related to hepatitis in San Mateo

Risk factors for hepatitis in San Mateo include unprotected sex, drug use, and close contact with an infected person. The prevalence of these risk factors contributes to the increasing number of hepatitis cases in the county.

Other STDs in San Mateo

In addition to hepatitis, other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis are also prevalent in San Mateo. The rates of these STDs are comparable to those in nearby cities like Burlingame, Foster City, Hillsborough, Belmont, and Millbrae. It's important to note that having one STD can increase the risk of contracting another, making regular testing crucial.
