My worse nightmare of needing an urgent care visit on a Saturday at 6pm. Surprisingly I found Carbon Health Urgent Care with several appointments available. The checkin as a first visit was so easy and I was seen IMMEDIATELY. The physician was attentive, thorough and so friendly. The checkout was amazing, she helped me find a 24 hour pharmacy to get my prescription

Care was as expected. The wait time was pretty long, with 3 people ahead of me. Got to the room and was tested right way. Was the told the test would take 15 minutes and I waited over 30 to get results. I spent about 3 1/2 hours there. The staff did their job nothing more and nothing less. Just seemed like there was a lot of waiting in a freezing cold room, to a point where you wonder if they forgot about you. And I was unable to receive my ibuprofen because the pharmacy said there was no instructions from the prescriber so they told me to just use OTC and no exceed 600mg.

I was very disappointed because my appointment was for an x-ray and the x-ray machine was broken and has been for some time. No one bother to let me know that it was broken so the appointment was a waste of time

Pain from Sciatica had become unbearable. I wasn't able to schedule an appointment with my doctor, but I went online to Carbon Health's website and had no trouble booking an appointment. I was seen on time, the facility was clean & comfortable, the check-in process was hassle free, and the young lady at the front desk was polite and professional. Dr. Upton was a tremendous help to me. In addition to being able to prescribe the right medication for my condition, she advised me regarding lifestyle changes that might be beneficial. Above all - SHE LISTENED to me! I would certainly recommend this location to my friends and neighbors.
