Short Wait Time

Reviews good in my search, followed by truth. Scheduled appt on line so easy along with the required paperwork. Clean facility, minimum wait time, GREAT Staff (CeeCee, Jose, NP Michelle) all professional, respectful, and knowledgeable of their respective positions. They listened, heard, and treated me. Greatly appreciative of these quality healthcare professionals. Would recommend Access Total Care to fam and friends.

I was pleased I was able to schedule an appointment on the same morning.  All the staff were friendly and attentive.   Best of all they took my Baylor Scott White Medicare Advantage.

Scheduling through the app was a breeze. I ended up showing 1 min before my appointment time and was seen about 30 minutes later. Not a long wait considering there is 1 receptionist , 1 tech, and 1 provider.  The tech who triaged me was so incredibly kind and sympathetic to my current situation and very knowledgeable. I was a bit distraught when going in but she comforted me and even made me laugh through a rough moment. The tests came back very fast and the provider himself was so kind and respectful. Offering 3 kind words of encouragement at the end of the visit,  “you got this” and a fist bump as he could see I was stressed and sad. So all in all it’s always my favorite urgent care to visit if I need immediate and kind care.

This was follow up to earlier visit. I was called on time & the NP Michelle was efficient & compassionate to my needs. What is truly impressive is the speed & efficiency of their sending Rx's to pharmacy. Amazing!! I highly recommend this clinic.

I started having sciatic pain two days ago.  I woke up and could barely walk.  The pain goes all the way down to the front of my foot.  I went in and only waited about 10 mins.  Check in was good. Got called to the back and they ended up giving me a steroid shot and a rx for ibuprofen.  However ecen after the shot the pain never went away. The dr then called in a muscle relaxer to th pharmacy. .  I took my ibuprofen and it went down some but then at night it got really bad again.  Took the telaxer and was able to sleep some but then woke up about 4 in pain again. Think i may need yo go back in or yo the er now.

My son woke up very fatigued and running a fever. I had to take my MIL to an appointment out of town so dad stayed home. Son rested all day but still wasn’t feeling great when I got home so I decided to have him seen. Our normal medical provider didn’t have appointments (via the app) until February so that wasn’t going to work. Brought him to Little Spurs via an appointment I made online. We walked in right at our appointment time and I was flustered as I didn’t want to be late. We waited a while before I received the link to pay. When we finally went back we waited again for a while for the provider to come in but my son was getting antsy wanting to leave. She said everything looked okay at that it was a virus. Okay great, except I wanted him checked for flu and Covid as we have an immunocompromised family member. We waited again for them to come in with the test. Then waited another  20 minutes for the results. Both were negative thankfully. I always appreciate this clinic as it is open late and very helpful with little kids. This is however the second time we have seen this provider and I’m not really impressed. I will reconsider if it’s worth the additional expense next time.

The wait takes a little while but honestly that’s to be expected when you’re at any hospital or clinic. Everyone is very kind and accommodating. Always a very clean clinic. Only thing I would recommend is to turn the tv down in the lobby. When you’re ill and or having a headache all day the last thing you want to hear is the tv blaring. Thanks bunches ladies

Staff was helpful and friendly. Walked in with 4 kids in total…ages varying in age from 9, 6, 2, 6 months. Daycare has an outbreak 😷 for RSV. Had 2 kids showing symptoms so I went in to get them tested!!! They have an awesome staff that took great care of us. I had no diaper bag for my grandson and he had a soiled diaper and I asked the staff if they happened to have any diapers and wipes?! Well luckily they did and I was able to change my grandson. Test results came back positive in 15 minutes for RSV. So no daycare or school for the kiddos!!! Thank you Little Pediatrics for taking care of my little crew!!!

I went in for a pre employment physical evaluation and a drug screening, went pretty well, except for the urine drug test. I have never done any drugs in my life, but this thing made it look like I do. it came back positive for opioids and morphine, a substance that naturally occurs in poppy seeds, which I ate on two “everything bagels” for lunch the previous day. Poppy seeds have enough codeine and morphine that naturally are in them that it triggered this false positive. I am just disappointed that the test can’t differentiate from a person who naturally consumes it through food, or malicious illegal use of a substance. I can’t believe that an everything bagel could be the cause of a bump in the road for me getting a job. Now I have to wait 3 to 5 days for an “accurate” lab test to see if it was naturally consumed through food, or ingested some other way, in which I have no idea how.

I had an appointment at 2pm. I arrived 10 minutes prior to 2pm and checked in. I was scheduled for covid19 test by curbside. I waited in my vehicle until 2:40 and several people arrived after me and still no one ever came out to administer the test. I called them and told them I had to leave for a different appointment and that I had been there 10 minutes before my 2pm appointment and here it was 2:40 and I still had not been tested. Reception said they don't really do appointments its just a slot and that they had actual patient inside that was getting a physical. I ended up leaving for my other appointment and had to return back for my covid19. I was then told I had to go inside for test not curbside due to weather and it was a little chilly but no rain.? I ended up getting tested at 5pm. Too long if a wait time after I did what I was told when I called to make my 2pm appointment. I completed on line paperwork, uploaded insurance, uploaded drivers license, completed my profile arrived 10 minutes prior to my 2pm appointment as instructed.

This is my second visit to PrimaCare for Covid testing. The first visit was wonderful and it was a smooth process. The second visit was great up to the point of speaking with the doctor. Her name is Shana Fakkel. I wanted to retest to make sure I am negative and be able to leave home isolation from being almost two weeks in a room, have peace of mind to be close to my parents which both are 65+ years of age, I live with them and not live with the uncomfortable feeling that I can be COVID-19 positive and affect the people around me. In short, Ms. Fakkel, which I will not even want to call her by Dr. had the audacity of questioning my retesting decision by asking why I would want to make my health insurance pay for another test to have peace of mind. I was shocked! First of all, that is none of her damn business and I have the right to test whenever I feel like it and charge my insurance whenever I feel like it if I PAY FOR IT! Second, she should do her job more professionally and not use a criticizing tone to her patients. I was NOT happy! On a positive note, I still got my test and the rest of the staff is great, so I still recommend this clinic, but it’s sad that one person can ruin it for everyone. I hope to not see her again in the future if I decide to return to PrimaCare.

It was overall request. However, I don’t think it was medically necessary to re-see my son for another telemedicine when I requested for my son to have a pcr covid test when he was just seen for the same exact reason the day before. I called the same day of his rapid test to also have a pcr. But because they no longer were doing the covid test the staff told me to come in the next day. When I came back for the pcr test, the staff told me I need to do another telemedicine. I explained the scenario but it seems that the logic was not heard and was told that my son still need to be seen telemedicine. I decided to cancel all together and scheduled my son for the pcr test at CVS. I wished that the staff had checked with the doctor first to confirm if it’s medically necessary to see my patient again for the same reason and to only repeat a test. Sometimes, a process may have some exception. Otherwise, I like the physicians and the convenience, except this time.

My daughter was so scared to get her covid test but the nurse (not sure what his name was) was so fantastic at explaining everything to her beforehand and was both quick and gentle. My daughter had a great experience! The only negative was the filthy air vent ducts on the ceiling - really gross.

This NP was rude and acted as if I was ignorant to the world of Covid-19. I too work in the healthcare field and she tried to educate me on the cdc guidelines. My child went in for a headache (no longer had the headache by the time we got their after I was done working) and she forced us to get a PCR test in order to be cleared for him to go back to school and of course this comes with a quarantine until the results come in. The school did not require it and my child’s headache was gone. However, she made it clear that it was okay for my other child and I not to be tested and continue our lives as normal after she explained “kids are carriers and show no signs.” Contradiction if you ask me. She handled this situation poorly, was rude and had no clue she was talking to someone else in healthcare. When I explained to her that it made no sense she walked out of the room in frustration. I am disappointed and I will make note and be sure to never go to little spurs if she is on duty. I am fully aware of the situation the world is in and I am also disappointed in the reaction from someone with the level of education she has regarding a headache. I did present the information from the school to the staff as well, she was the only individual that acted so rudely.

First of all, I had to sign in for the very first time at the Physicians Center and fill out 3 pages of paperwork which was very easy but then I had to wait for a long time but as soon as I was seen by the nurse it was very quick and I had to wait a while to see the Dr and he was respectful, polite, well mannered, caring, blunt, nice, a very good listener, every single question that I had for the Dr he had answered it and in full details, he helped me completely understand a lot about Covid-19 and the Covid-19 test, what the test looks for, what are the symptoms COVID-19, the guidelines for the CDC, how to prevent someone else from getting Covid-19, he assisted in getting me in getting a Dr’s excuse for my leave of absence from work so I wouldn’t spread Covid-19 if I ended up getting it, and he was the best Dr that I have ever had and held a conversation with seriously! The Dr that had seen me today 06-24-21 should be recognized for his words and his actions and I would recommend anyone to this particular Dr J Hancock PA-C and I would go back to see him if I ever have anything medical problems in the future! Thank you very much Dr J Hancock you are a real doctor that actually cares about people, their health, helping others, how to resolve any am illness, and how to prevent the spread of an illness Sir! May God bless you, your family, the staff there at the Physicians Center, and the entire world…

The doctor and the nurse were great! My son always cries when taking a strep test but the nurse was able to give him the test, no problem. All the staff is knowledgeable and very friendly!

Took my son in for red, sore throat and swollen glands. Told them I didn’t want a covid test because I didn’t want to waste rest if it wasn’t necessary. I did want them to tear him for other things and the Dr. took it as I didn’t want any tests done! Not happy that he was willing to send us on our way without teatimg and give him a shot of rosephen. I was adamant about testing for mono and he was positive! Not sure why Dr would tell me that they are just a band aid stop not much they can do for us. I also asked for a referral which he was going to give us but being that he was finally tested and positive for mono we didn’t need the referral. Our appointment was for 11:30 am and didn’t see Dr until 12:50 pm. Not happy at all about this visit! He should have been tested the last time we were in on January 4, ***

First of all, it is very helpful and really streamlines the process to be able to do all paperwork, history, and download insurance card the day before the appointment online. That probably cuts out a good 20 mins or more of time.Then because of covid, they are seeing patients in our vehicles in a designated area in the back of the parking lot. It’s an organized, quick process. The nurse practitioner Beth came out on time, was very friendly, thorough & informative. The process only took about 15 mins including assessment and nasal swab for covid test. And she called me within 20-25 mins later with the result. Yes I was pleased and impressed. I will go back there if urgent care needed again. And yes I would absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone. Booked my appointment online on the urgent care website. They did not charge me at all. Not even the urgent care co-pay of $10. I’m guessing they will bill me after they file on my insurance.

My NP was great as always. Our family always gets taken care of at this facility, however this time...Rita Cortez made it weird! She was so awkwardly rude to me on top of doing weird treatment. I received a flu/Covid test, for both test, she stuck the swab down both nostril EACH test. NP said I was getting a steroid shot, I have always had a shot in hip/top of cheek, no problem, she wanted to put the shot in my side hip BONE area! No thank you! At that point I said I was a little uncomfortable doing that, she said that is how everyone there is trained to do it, I told her I have had a shot here before and this has never happened and she instantly walked out. The whole experience was just off. My husband asked the kind lady who took her place if Rita was having a bad day (because we all go through things) but apparently she wasn’t, this is her nature. Sorry Rita Cortez, but you are in the wrong career field if this is how you treat all of your patients on a daily basis!

My wife and I came in for a COVID rapid test. The tech was very professional and nice. After about 20 minutes, a doctor came out to the truck and explained the results. While mine came back negative, my wife tested positive which wasn’t a surprise since she had previously contracted COVID but a couple days earlier she began feeling better and her symptoms disappeared. Both of us believed we had to test negative before we could go back to work and be around other people. The doctor explained that they don’t test for COVID in people who have previously tested positive since the virus, although “incapacitated” by the antibodies, are still present in the nasal cavity which will likely remain for several weeks. So that’s why she didn’t need the test and explains why she’s been cleared to go back to work. I appreciate the doctor who spent a couple minutes to explain this simple but important point for our peace of mind as well as helping spread the word so tests aren’t wasted. I have yet to talk to a friend, family member or colleague who knew this. Why the public hasn’t been informed of this by our government appointed medical experts is beyond me. Thank you Dr!

Very easy to get a PCR test done. This is the sixth one I’ve purchased from you, so I’m not crazy about the price, but I appreciate that you own the equipment and that you can turn it quickly. The team member who helped us was very polite and very efficient. I have two points of feedback for you that may be helpful: first, the distinction of a travel PCR test versus regular PCR test is confusing to me. The team member was unable to clarify any technical differences between the two for me. All she said was that they were two different machines, but it didn’t seem like she had an understanding of the difference. Secondly, both times I’ve been there, your system sends me a text right after I leave that says I can complete documentation with a URL link. However there’s no documentation that needs to be completed at that point. The first time we called to see what else we needed to do, and were told to just ignore the text. Seems like you could change that text to something more intuitive/ relevant or not send it unless there is something actionable. Hope that’s helpful!

Receptionist (Gracieanna)loudly asked for all waiting room to hear if I was using Medicare? I have been here numerous times using private insurance and nothing provides a reason for such a question. I arrived 30 minutes early. While I was waiting, Three white women show up without appointments, ask questions, Complete the Solv questionnaire at the desk and all get seen before me. When I asked Gracieanna about my appointment, then she stated, oh you’re next. There was no one else left in the waiting room. Once seen the male nurse didn’t weigh me but asked me to tell him my weight and began a discourse about me taking medication for high blood pressure and having been referred by a doctor. When I explained to him, I had never visited for anything other than a Covid test, he was dismissive and provided me with none of my vitals. Temp, blood Pressure and O2. The doctor did provide my vitals after I asked and her bedside manner was the standard of professionalism and care that I have encountered in the past. Without my prior experiences, I would never return; however, I hope this staff team I encountered was an anomaly.

I called at 2:00 PM to see if the facility had any rapid COVID-19 tests. They informed me they did and they told me I could either walk in or make an appointment. I made an appointment for 4:15 PM. I figured that if I went in at 2 as a walk in I would probably be seen around the same time since typically appointments are seen first. When I arrived, at 4:00 PM I checked in and there were about 5 patients in front of me. I waited for 45 minutes. I asked if they had any updates on when I could possibly be seen as I was now 30 minutes past my appointment time. I was informed that they only had one provider in and they would not be able to provide me with that information. I will say the staff was more than accommodating, apologetic, and helpful. They provided my daughter a toy and a snack. Around 5:30 I had to leave to go get my son. When I arrived back at 5:50, I waited about 10 more minutes before being placed in a room at 6:00. The triage was quick, and the rapid test was done around 6:05. I noted the times because I had two kids with me who were tired and hungry. The rapid test takes about 30-45 minutes to get results. So I figured I would be out of there by 7. My daughter has breathing problems and needed a breathing treatment by 7:30. At 7, I had to leave without seeing a doctor. After 3 hours, I couldn’t wait any longer to be told whether or not I had COVID-19. A quick one second yes or no would have satisfied. However, I was informed they would be throwing out the test and I couldn’t receive results because I was unwilling to wait any longer. I understand they are understaffed, but then don’t make so many appointments. Walk-ins we’re also being taken before appointments. I witnessed this with 2 separate individuals who stated after asking if they needed an appointment, that they would just be walk-ins. I am so disappointed that I wasted 3 hours of my time to get a simple test, and I couldn’t even get results because I have kids I have to take care of. They need to rethink their patient queue and amount of appointments they are allowing with only one provider on staff.

The provider I believe her name was Dr. Clem was quick to get me out the door and acted as if I was not imporatant when I asked for her to look at my son and why was there swelling under his tongue and that I was concerned if there was congestion in his lungs she recommended covid testing I asked her could it be flu since my son had been around my grandbaby who was diagnosed with flu 2 days prior to my visit, her response was it was probably a false positive but she did not explain why she felt it was negative, I did ask for a flu test even thou she was reluctant to do one, then the nurse returned shortly afterwards and stated the results of the covid were negative as well as his flu test but I had to ask again why was there swelling under my son's tongue since both test were negative, the provider finally had told me it was his congestion. I have been here several times in the past and had not had to expierence a bad bed side manner from a provider I am hoping she was just not feeling well or not aware of this and will improve on my next visit.

The only challenge I have is that my wife went in for Flu symptoms… she didn’t want to take COVID test because it seems everyone tests positive for CID if they have symptoms , but I talked her into it. She was put on a HYDOCHLORIDE IV - Doctor comes back in 15 mins and says that she has COVID ( The China virus). - Then 20 mins later the AP comes and says “ we’ll you were right you don’t have COVID” - What ??? We said the doc said 20 mins ago she tested positive. - He said, Oh well she a Doctor… I guess she knows better ! - This is EXACTLY why 50% of common sense Americans believe it’s a big scam to control the people and make Fauci & the drug companies rich. - Thanks for revealing the lie once again. - Oh yeah there has not been 1 flu patient in your facility in over a year.

I got a rapid covid test, needed it for work. Set up online, Dr did the screening over FaceTime, while I was at home. Appointment was for 30 min after the call. I called from my car to let them know I was there. Already completed paperwork at home. Staff came to me in my car, for payment and to get the sample to test. Results took about 15 min, they brought the paperwork back out to me. Whole process took less than 3 hours from the time I started set the appointment online, to having needed test results. It was quick, convenient, and decently priced. I Have used this service several times over the last year.

Schertz Lab Tests

Lab tests take samples of your blood, urine, saliva, and other bodily secretions, which are then analyzed in a lab to help doctors diagnose and treat certain illnesses. Lab tests can be used to diagnose an illness, detect changes in an existing condition, and monitor how your body responds to a therapy, among other things. They can also be used to monitor the progression of a disease or a set of diseases.

If your doctor is unable to make a definitive diagnosis of your disease, or if you are having a variety of symptoms that could indicate a variety of disorders, he or she may request a lab test. To see how you're responding to a drug or to check if you're at risk for certain diseases, lab tests may be performed.If your doctor is unable to make a definitive diagnosis of your disease, or if you are having a variety of symptoms that could indicate a variety of disorders, he or she may request a lab test.

Some lab tests require no preparation at all, while others may require you to fast for eight to twelve hours before the test in order to avoid erroneous results from certain meals and beverages. Your healthcare provider may advise you to cease smoking, exercising, and taking certain medications and nutritional supplements for many hours or days before your blood test.

Before your lab test, ask your doctor for precise instructions to follow to minimize erroneous results and multiple trips to the lab for additional testing.

  • How much do lab tests cost?

    The cost of a lab test is determined by several factors, including the type of test, your location, whether you have insurance, and the fees charged by the lab test provider. Many health insurance providers will cover the cost of lab testing in part or in full. Those who do not have insurance, on the other hand, will almost certainly face higher costs.

  • What is a routine lab test?

    A basic lab test may evaluate your red and white blood cell counts to discover if you have anemia, a blood infection, or blood cancer. It may also test fat levels in your blood to determine your risk of heart disease and examine the health of your organs, such as your heart, kidneys, and liver. Your healthcare provider will be able to explain what a typical lab test entails.

  • What STDs can be detected by a blood test?

    A blood test can identify STDs such as syphilis, HIV, hepatitis C, and herpes. Your doctor may order that blood be collected and submitted to a lab, or that you undergo STD testing at a lab test provider. STD test results might arrive in minutes, days, or weeks, depending on the lab test company you work with.

  • Do I need to see a doctor before getting a lab test?

    Before performing specific tests, some lab test providers require a doctor's referral, while others do not. The benefit of seeing a doctor before getting a lab test is that you can assess whether or not you need one based on your symptoms and a physical examination. A doctor can also help you decide which tests are necessary.
