Appoinment please?
So I've been trying to contact the South of Market center for two days now trying to get an urgent care appointment, and no luck. I literally get transfered to their voicemail line. Now I would assume that I'm either calling too early or late... but the main medical line is up and running. Each time I've called I've left a message with contact info and my problem. I will walk in there if they keep up the radio silence, but there is a problem with that.
See, urgent care only has a select number of slots. So you may find yourself waiting for hours, or just being told to come back the next day. That's why it's good to get an appointment, let me tell you the time you wait just crawls by, and it's nerve-wracking every minute because you don't know if they'll call your name in time. Some places book people, and so they can tell the others if they have room or not. Other places can give a rough time line, but still say to "wait and see" because they want to get as many people treated.
Long story short, if you find yourself ever facing this sort of thing, spring for an appointment. You'll spend less time freaking out in a crowded waiting room.
