Urgent Care near Northfield

“We were in town on vacation when my daughter fell and split her forehead open while playing at Chrissy Field. The team at Advocate Clinic at Walgreens we're fast, professional and no-nonsense. They took great care of her and got her stitched up with a minimum of fanfare. Not a great situation, but I was happy that Advocate Clinic at Walgreens we're on the ball and able to help.“

“Went in for a stress fractured femur. Loved the experience. Everything was very efficient and to the point.“

“Was virtual so check that they can help your issue. Otherwise good nurse practitioner, and medical assistant. Was in good time frame complete.“

“They were great! I got in quickly and they were very friendly and helpful. I got a prescription quickly as well. I'd definitely go there again.“

“I live in Chicago during the week for work, and have for several years, yet all my doctors are in another city. When I can pre-plan an appointment, I have the flexibility to return to the other city for it. I really like my doctors, after many years of great relationships with them, so have chosen so far not to leave them and find new doctors in Chicago. This has worked really well so far, because I haven't been sick enough to need to see a doctor THAT DAY. This all changed a few weeks ago, when I returned from a trip to a convention with a bad case of what I figured was either bronchitis (which it was, coupled with a sinus infection) or pneumonia (which it was just starting to be). The day after my most miserable flight home (the flight was fine, but I felt lousy and was all congested and coughing, and I feel so sorry for the people who had to sit near me!), I decided I had to see a doctor, and soon. And I felt too lousy to make the three-hour trip back to see my usual family doctor. So I checked online with my insurance company to see which nearby walk-in clinics were included in our network, and was relieved to see that the CVS Minute Clinics were in-network, and that there were several nearby. I chose this one because it's about halfway between my home and office, and on my regular commuting route, so figured it would be most convenient if follow-up was needed. I tried to make an appointment online, but after first telling me I could, the app then told me this function was unavailable. I checked the app for the approximate wait time, and when I saw in the early afternoon that it had dropped from about 90 minutes to about 25, I headed out. Once there, I was only second in line, and was seen in about 30 minutes, maybe less. The check-in process was easy -- all online, using a keyboard and monitor in the waiting area. I really liked the nurse practitioner who saw me, Caitlin. She was extremely friendly and personable (even asking to see a video of my daughter's singing performance when I mentioned the purpose of the convention I'd just attended), conversed with me compassionately and intelligently about my symptoms, examined me thoroughly, and clearly explained the diagnoses and treatments (there were several of each). She sent the prescription orders directly to the store pharmacy online (after confirming with me that this is where I wanted them sent), had me use the prescribed inhaler under her supervision for the first time after I picked up the meds at the pharmacy, then re-checked some of my vitals a few minutes later to confirm that it was doing its job. In summary, I felt like I was in my own doctor's office, receiving the same excellent treatment I was used to receiving there. Two days later, I received a call from the clinician on duty, to ask if the medications were working and I was feeling better. (At the time I felt like I'd improved significantly from Monday, and told her this, but was still at home resting and recuperating trying to get over it.) This was much appreciated, and a nice touch that even my own doctor's office doesn't do. Unfortunately, as has been the case with many of my fellow convention-goer friends, I still hadn't shaken all of my illness a week after finishing the first round of antibiotics, so I ended up back at the Minute Clinic two and a half weeks after my first visit, this time seeing a nurse practitioner named Monica. She was also very nice, and very thorough, and I again felt very well cared for. I asked Monica if she and Caitlin job shared, and she explained that yes, they were the two "regulars" there, and they alternated weekends, and also had some floating NPs who filled in the extra hours. Overall, I was very, very impressed (and very pleasantly surprised) with the care I received. The only time I've used a similar facility was to get a shot for my daughter, that we found out at the last minute she needed before she started college, so I didn't have any true experience with a walk-in clinic for treating an illne“

“One of the best immediate care experiences I have ever had. They suggested all the tests I wanted and gave me information and a prescription to help my issue. Just a wonderful experience even tho I was really sick.“

“Completely positive visit today. Had an 11AM appointment, came early because there's always paperwork, got a shot, done before 11AM. 3 friendly people on staff, I was only one there. Not at all sure about what the negative reviews would be--busier days?? Appointments honored before walk-ins. Only basic care done here, however.“

“A true gem indeed! Very affordable service! Friendly medical staff. Conveniently located in Walgreens!“

“I just went to the advocate clinic in Walgreens to get ear wash the staff was very nice . Anna Maloney was so nice she explained everything I should do to prevent ear wax no body never did she has excellent patients care thank you for great service“

“Visited this site today the staff was very efficient and nice. The NP (Sandra) and the MA was very professional and explained everything to me n my daughter. It was quick we were in and out 1hr min from start to finish. Very Good for a Monday at 530pm.“

“They are really nice people is my first time there, they help me with my information thank you so much.“

“I walked into the facility with a nasty infection from a possible spider bite. They helped me , even though they didn't have to. My insurance situation was a mess. The entire staff is incredible. The receptionist(s), the nurses, the young lady that went above and beyond for me, Dr. Khamis...ALL of them. I'm so grateful for this place & more importantly these wonderful people . Thank you so much for everything.“

“I have had fantastic care the three times I've gone here - two of which I didn't have an appointment. I'm seen promptly. A MD or DO comes in after the nurse. Takes the time I need to answer any questions. I wish I could make this my primary care doctor.“

“Compared to my past experiences at Midwest Express, this place is great! I came in an hour before closing, and I was in and out in a half hour. Everyone was efficient and super nice.“

“Dr. Ninan and Kenneth in lab are the very best. I'm very satisfied with the care and support that they provided.“

“NorthShore Immediate Care Center - Chicago at Broadway, Chicago deserves a five-star rating for their exceptional strep throat testing services. The clinic provided my son with prompt and efficient care, ensuring a quick diagnosis and appropriate treatment. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable throughout the testing process. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone seeking top-quality care for strep throat or any other medical needs.“

“I never had issues with the immediate care at this location. The doctors, nurse practitioners and staff are very competent, helpful and professional. Waiting time is reasonable depending on how busy they may be at the time one arrives for care and the severity of the illness or injury.“

“Had a foot injury, stopped by without an appointment, I was quickly attended to by the gentleman who works at the front desk, within an hour I was attended to by a nurse, had my x-ray, diagnosis and (I was done! Great service, no complaints.“

“My first visit, after reading the reviews, I made a same day appt (contact them early if you can, appts go fast). I saw someone five minutes after my appt time, it is clean and seems orderly. The physician was thorough, even did an X-ray onsite to confirm diagnosis. I would go there again, if needed and would suggest to friends and family.“
