Just go to your primary care doctor. <br /><br />I have a family member who was sent to the Overlake ER for moderate pain (5-6 on a scale of 10). She was referred by Overlake Urgent Care to the ER. hmmmmm Constipation can be expensive :)Bob Yoderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538345340147926309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485581331425169493.post-72882242647851620502012-03-07T10:20:54.289-08:002012-03-07T10:20:54.289-08:00Overlake has since opened a large Urgent Care Clin...Overlake has since opened a large Urgent Care Clinic on Redmond Way with pretty good hours. Healthworks Urgent Care / Clinic has moved closer to Overlake's UC. My wifes's experience was with a Physician's Assistent who sent her to the ER of our choice (Evergreen or Overlake) We chose Overlake thinking Pam's medical records between their UC and Hospital ER would be quickly transfered - as well as the notification we'd be arriving and they'd be ready for us. Also, the P.A. said their computer clock showed a short wait time. Interesting outcome...Bob Yoderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538345340147926309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485581331425169493.post-58935303096547098042011-07-08T09:05:16.712-07:002011-07-08T09:05:16.712-07:00Thanks for sharing this blog.

Since there are tons of emergency care centers nowadays and it is hard what and where to choose I still do believe in some reviews since it is hard to select which one is telling the truth.trixiehttp://www.urgentmedhousecalls.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485581331425169493.post-41860187543135055152011-02-07T17:58:34.210-08:002011-02-07T17:58:34.210-08:00Thanks for pointing out my gaff Bob.

But, how can you recommend the Redmond emergency care center when it isn't open yet?Bob Yoderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538345340147926309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485581331425169493.post-859597526815420042011-02-06T08:18:27.676-08:002011-02-06T08:18:27.676-08:00On a side note I would like to recommend the Everg...On a side note I would like to recommend the Evergreen primary and emergency care centers in Redmond. I have been to both several times and found them to be very professional and affordable. They also do a great job of working with you when it comes to finances. I am one of the millions in this country who do not have health insurance. Getting health care I can afford is very important to me. Evergreen offers a 20% discount for those without insurance and an additional 15% if you pay at the time of services. Getting 35% right off the top makes all the difference in the world to someone like me. Plus Overlake is a private entity and can absolutely turn you away if you do not have insurance, even in an emergency.Carla H.noreply@blogger.com
