Urgent Care FYI

[BeeBopp717]

Dunno if anyone has been locally; but we had to last week & I wanted to report back.
I’m an NP. Day 2.5 of a 10 day trip, brother develops gout. I immediately call him in a steroid pack. By day 4, he is immobilized. I told him he needed to finish the pack, etc. - what do I know,
I’ve only been doing this gig 10 years now.
Day 5, he wants to go to U/C; I left my kids with the hubs & we googled & Ubered to Buena Vista UC- closest to Disney.
Tiny, in a strip mall; new 7,000 SqFt facility opens later this month, business must be good. Everyone was SO nice. We were in & out; no one but the patient allowed back into partitioned rooms. I’m sure that’s different for minors. He saw an MD, got a shot in the booty of Toradol & was told to finish the pack I wrote for him. Also started him on Colchicine, which we had to Uber to a CVS to get filled. The CVS in the lot with the U/C does not have a pharmacy FYI.
This U/C does have some meds on hand, you can buy for cash; ie: if you have a UTI, & need Bactrim, they have it in house. I saw a price list on the wall. Kind of a sketchy neighborhood. Other patients waiting in the waiting room with me did not have masks on, but I’m just hypersensitive to that. Overall, 90 minutes to Uber from OKW to U/C to CVS with pharmacy then back to OKW. Was covered by his insurance & he “felt better,” 2 days later. (Due to my treatment but I’ll let him think otherwise).

Good to know about the new facility coming! Glad your brother got taken care of.

There is also an UC that picks you up for free from any Disney Resort. We used it 2 years ago. VERY small facility but they were super nice and took care of my daughter.

That’s amazing, great service; do you remember the name?

I used Centra Care twice in the last few years. They picked us up from the Boardwalk. And then brought us back whereever we wanted. The one time returning to the resort after the end of the day for their van driver, they gave us a Mears taxi voucher, so they paid the return trip for us.

Lord willing, I hope to never need to go this route again for thank you for the name!

Honestly, I asked at the front desk for information on where we could go and the resort handed me the pamphlet. And in huge letters, it said to call them and they would pick us up, so I pulled out my phone and called right then. I was going to Uber over, but this worked even better. Oh and we did not need it, but they offer car seats too for babies. The one time we picked up a mother and baby at another resort on our way over, and they put the carseat in for the baby.

Came here to share my Urgent Care experience from last night. DS (9) was feeling feverish yesterday with cold-like symptoms. We still have two more days left at Disney so I needed to take DS to see a physician and get a Covid rapid test. I remembered reading something about the partnership with AdventHealth. I called AdventHealth Centra Care but no one answered. I went online to make an appointment. Arrived at the appointment time but was told that there is another 1 hour wait. So we went to Buena Vista Urgent Care to try our luck. Buena Vista Urgent Care also had 1 hour wait but is a lot cleaner. So we stayed at Buena Vista and took the name off Centra Care. The staff at Buena Vista were professional. The visit went well. DS test result was negative.

I hope you did the regular test too, my rapid was negative but I had covid.

Nice to know there will be a nice facility. When our kids were babies, one had really bad diaper rash. Thankfully we had a car and found an urgent clinic in Kissimmee. Very nice MD and brought realized to our baby.

What did you mean by "brought realized to our baby?" (Autocorrect is such a pain!)

I went to First Aid at HS and requested transportation to urgent care (Disney has a service for that, or the urgent care place does, anyways) and the place I was taken to was horrid. This was a few years ago, so hoping it's better now. I tested negative for a UTI but they still prescribed an antibiotic.
