Birmingham Urgent Care

I brought my wife here, it was clean, quick and I didn’t get that creepy urgent care feeling I unfortunately have gotten at other places. The doctors were very attentive and thorough and were able to get my wife what she needed to get rid of the bronchitis and pneumonia she had. Everyone was very friendly and the service was quick. We were very happy and will make this our go-​to.

I have been here 3 times in the past year and a half. Each time I have been treated quickly (never waited more than 15 minutes) and with a tremendous amount of care and compassion. Highly recommend this urgent care.

Great, great urgent care center — was slightly nervous when our other one closed down — but since we’ve been coming here for the last 12 months — wonderful. Really like this place.

Prompt service, very professional service. Everything that I wanted and needed. A very good experience.

The best! I’ve been to this urgent care so many times and every time I leave there saying I have to write a review bc I’m always so impressed. The staff is very friendly. They definitely live up to the «urgent» of urgent care because within minutes of checking in that are ready to see you. The doctors are great and you always feel important when they are diagnosing you. I’m so glad I have them to go to!!!

I was in and out as a first-​time patient in 45 minutes! Both my ears were blocked and they flush-​washed them both out successfully and comfortably. The desk nurse, the attending nurse and attending physician were friendly, efficient, and professional. I am impressed with Birmingham Urgent Care and will definitely use them again.

My wife and I visited Birmingham Urgent care after coming down with a cold over the weekend. We found this place via reviews on Unilocal and decided to check it out. As others have noted, the door to enter their office is a little shaggy looking but don’t let that prevent you from stepping in! The interior was very clean.
We had a fantastic experience at this facility. The front-​desk staff were friendly and prompt. There was almost no wait and we were both in-​and-​out within 30 minutes. We were treated by a nurse and the attending physician. Both were very nice and knowledgeable. The physician was great in giving us lots of information above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced at my primary care physician’s office. She was also intent on making sure we understood the negatives of anti-​biotics and didn’t shove medications down our throats like most doctors.
Overall, we’re sure to come back to this place and highly recommend it to everyone!

Kind, knowledgeable, calm and helpful. When you are in need what could be better? Both nurse and doctor, lovely people.

I have never been to an urgent care before. My doctor was not available and the nurse said to try one so I looked for the closest one. Other reviews said this is hard to find but I often travel up Elm on my way from Kroger off Maple.
The place is not fancy but the attention was prompt. The Doctor seemed very knowledgable and spent a good amount of time talking about my sinus issue and medications. I got a prescription and was on my way.
I give this 5 stars. It was a perfectly satisfactory trip to the doctor as those things go.

We just moved to town and had a very sick 2 year old with double ear infections. Unfortunately, no pediatrician would see a new patient on a Saturday, and so we took our chances on this urgent care, which is close to home. What a pleasant surprise! The staff was incredible — so helpful and friendly — and the doctor was kind and gentle with our little guy. They even went out of their way to look up our insurance information since we hadn’t even received our cards yet. We were in and out in 30 minutes with a prescription for antibiotics and some stickers for the kids. Thanks for the pleasant surprise!

Could barely get out of bed and needed urgent care on a saturday. Got driven to B.U.C. and was in and out within 45 minutes. I gave them my BCBS insurance card, ID, and filled out quick 1 sheet of paperwork. Office is small and slightly dingy in appearance but clean and no one was waiting when I entered at noon. Saw nurse within 20 minutes and doctor within 30. The doctor’s specialty is in internal medicine FYI, but he was able to diagnose me and prescribe medication to treat a staff infection and strep throat. Would def recommend for anyone needing urgent medical attn, especially on a weekend. They are open 7 days a week!

Had to find a place while visiting. Very pleased with my experience here. Clean. Great staff and doctors. Was in and out within an hour.

Almost never have to wait long to see a doctor. Easy parking. Quick solution to run of the mill medical problems like infections. Also I have used them when I needed a quick turnaround for camp forms or school medical paperwork. The doctors are very kind and seem knowledgable about any problems we have brought their way. As a mother with three kids, they are on my speed dial.

This place is pretty good. I was having trouble breathing and could feel flem in my lungs, so I went here and they prescribed me a z-​pack. They even had a list of area pharmacies and they called in the prescription for me to the rite aid down the street so I could pick it up at my own convenience (which was pretty much immediately lol).
Another nice thing about the visit… they didn’t make me do unnecessary things. I went to an urgent care place in novi a previous time, and they had wanted to do bloodwork and a urine sample, use the flashlight thingy to look in my ears, etc. Birmingham Urgent Care didn’t ask me to do any of that (I’m assuming that also meant they didn’t bill me for any of that!)
This place is on a side street, but between maple and Woodward so it’s not remote by any means; it’s definitely in downtown Birmingham. I am a local so I didn’t think it was hard to find; I go by it all the time. But I also get stopped probably once every other week while walking the dog by a patron asking for directions. It’s a yellowish brick building. It is located near office buildings. A couple buildings from Maple, on Elm street.
The only reason I am giving them four stars instead of five: I have United Healthcare’s basic ppo and ended up paying $ 85 for the visit. Combined with the prescription, this ended up being a lot. Then again I doubt I had met my deductible for the year so that could explain why it was so much. Also I got billed after the fact, even though I had asked them about fees and requested to pay same day. By the time I found out the dollar amount of the fee, it was too late to use my flex spending balance from the previous year.

I would have given zero stars if it was an option. This Dr. over prescribes and is extremely rude if you question him.

The only reason for not giving them 5 stars is they are hard to find — had to turn around a few times… but if you enter off 15 or Maple as it is there — it’s not too bad to find. The staff is professional and every time I have been there I am in and out in less than 30 minutes — once even with x-​rays. I am so glad I found this place because my primary doc is seriously the hardest to get into and works almost no hours. I do have insurance so don’t know what the other fees are but they were no problem with BCBS.
So glad someone recommended them!

Ok, I needed to go to the doctor quick. The physician referral I got didn’t see patients on Monday (I though Weds was the day for docs to freeload?). I got referred to some urgent care locations in the C of D and said, «thanks but no thanks.» I had been to one on Woodward north of 9 mile in Ferndale previously and nearly gagged.
Anyway I Googled other locations and found Birmingham Urgent Care on Elm St. in (guess where) Birmingham, MI. You can imagine my surprise that B’ham would allow anything like that in its city. Anyway, its just 3 buildings south of Maple on Elm St, the southwest side of the street. The sign is about as big as a pinhead (signage laws in B’ham no doubt in addition to fact that the powers that be don’t want a bunch of poor people slummin in their hood).
This was a Monday around 2:45PM. No one in the place. By urgent care standards it was clean. The staff was nice enough (and of course I had health insurance). Simply put, the doc was knowledge, made a few recommendations, wrote the script, and I was out in 30 mins. Yes, that’s right people, 30 mins.
Now I know what some of you are thinking: the guy has health insurance, why not go to «a regular doctor.» Well, the regular doc was taking a three day weekend. With my BCBS plan, I go to the ER and bam! Its $ 75. I go to the doctor’s office or urgent care its $ 10. With the script, the whole thing was $ 15. You do the math.
Anyway, in a pinch, this place was fine.
