Went for visit my back was hurting dr did X-rays and referred me for a MRI for a better view of my osteoporosis and degenerative disc disease. They submitted the wrong referral code and when I contacted them back to get this resolved I was told the Dr was not available and won’t be available until the end of the month!
No one was able to make the correction, so now I have to wait? I called several times and spoke with the Opa-Locka and the Auburn Office to be told that I would receive a phone call back never received a call back My insurance company got the same experience. This is not only unprofessional but unfair for someone who is in discomfort and in a lot of pain to not be able to get the Care that is needed because of a doctors mistake!
Tried contacting the corporate office to be on, hold an unable to speak to anyone regarding this matter, If you wanna file a complaint against a location, you have to leave a message. Well, I’ve left a message and I doubt I’ll ever receive a phone call back.
This is unfair that any patient should be treated this way. I thought this was an urgent care Facility then why am I waiting for my care to be addressed?

Avoid this business like the plague. Service was slow and apathetic when I used them several months ago, but the real issue is that my debit card was fraudulently charged this morning at 5am before the business was even open. No one there should even have access to my card number. I have made several attempts to speak with the manager but was unsuccessful. I was also given a bad phone number for the corporate office. It this point I have to assume either the manager doesn’t care about credit card crimes taking place in her business or possibly she knows all about it and has no issue with it. Either way, avoid this place at all costs!

I am a veteran and have my insurance through TRICARE East (prime). I had a recent URGENT care visit, which went great. But, I have now been billed as having had a Dr’s visit, not an urgent care visit. Now the name on the building says URGENT CARE. However in the state of Alabama they have a contract without the ability to bill “URGENT CARE.”
There is no notice as to the FACT there is no urgent care billing at the point of service.
So the sign out front is at a minimum misleading. I feel as if I have been taken advantage of. I do not recommend any TRICARE patients use this business.
If you have any veterans in your circles please let them know. I guess it’s okay to pull this in Alabama.
