Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She seemed like she did not want to be there
Summary: Her diagnostic skills were fine, but she was terrible to work withI went in for an ongoing injury, and she was rude, and unhelpful. It seemed like she did not want to help me at all. I had Jennifer at the same urgent care another week, and she was truly wonderful. I feel terrible writing a bad review, but if I had not been so insistent that I had injuries and needed help, I am 100% sure she would have dismissed me without even checking my injuries -like she tried to do twice - and I would not have gotten the important prescription I was eventually prescribed.I felt so unconfident with her diagnosis or knowledge I scheduled a second visit with my primary care doctor, who did confirm what she had said was correct, but wow, she did not give me any reassurance. It was like talking to a brick wall. I would ask a question and she would just sit there, motionless, and stare at me. I wish I had another person in the room to observe it, I couldn't believe how unprofessional she was.

Did not diagnose correctly
Husband went to clinic due to congestion and green mucus. Dr never told him what was wrong and gave an inhaler and something for congestion. It took 2 days for pills to start working in meantime his mucus got worse with bad cough. He went to doctor yesterday he has pneumonia! No need for inhaler. All this could have been avoided if diagnosed and treated correctly!!

Five stars are not enough
It is a good day in urgent care if you get to see Dr Ankolekar. She is very compassionate and kind. I have seen her many times over many years, and she is simply wonderful. I trust her. Five stars are not enough.
