What a difference between one CareNow facility and another. And how the visits can be so vastly different. After my mom-in-law was diagnosed with COVID a couple of weeks ago, wouldn't you know, in the following days, my wife and I also contracted COVID. Because it was a Sunday and we couldn't see our personal doctors (and felt warmed-over-shit), we decided to make our way to urgent care. And since our visit with my mom-in-law went so well only a few days earlier, we tried to make an appointment at the same CareNow we took her to. Unfortunately, that facility was fully booked, so we made our appointments for CareNow, located at 4075 S Durango Dr. (and Flamingo) Ste. 108, Las Vegas, NV 89147.
Yikes, this place is absolutely atrocious. Our appointments were scheduled, and online forms were filled out, but we still had to wait well over one hour. The two receptionists gabbing away with personal jibber-jabber was quite annoying to listen to for almost an hour. In the one hour, we waited, only one patient came out from the back area, so what [in god's name] were the four people doing in the back office? My guess is, like the two receptionists, gabbing away with personal chit-chat. Even after we were seated, we still had to wait another 15 minutes for the Nurse Practitioner.
Both my wife and I were charged individually, but when the NP came in, she only looked at my wife, and while walking out the door, she looked at me and said: "you don't look so good, either." I, of course, said we were here for the same reason, and then she looked at me, but not to the extent she did for my wife. A sexist is my guess. Or maybe I just looked shocked and surprised that she was about to walk out the door without even looking at me.
She did listen to my chest after I gave her a brief cardiac history and said I should go to the emergency hospital and get checked for atrial fibrillation. Uh, go to urgent care to be told to go to ER at a hospital when I told her my history? Obviously, this NP didn't care about or listen to what I said. So I chalked it up to a waste of time and was prescribed some cough syrup and pills, and we were charged double for the 90 waste of time.
The bottom line is, forget CareNow Urgent Care (at least this one and the other I reviewed) and wait for your doctor. As it turned out, when I finally made it to my doctor, she prescribed prednisone for inflammation, an inhaler, and a nebulizer, which I'd never received. But that's Las Vegas medical care for you.
Don't waste your money or time at any CareNow Urgent Care.
