"The Bowie Health Center is open until midnight and they are wonderful. They are equiped like an emergency room and always have a pediatrician on staff in the evenings and night. No appointments needed." (From a user of the PG Parents Listserv)
"We tried a walk-in clinic in Bowie called Patients First [*]. We were there for a while, two hours I believe, but we walked out knowing he did not have strep (they have a lab on the premises) and holding his medecine (they have a pharmacy). It cost less than ER for us because it was considered a regular doctor visit. I think they take the last patient at ten, but I'm not sure." (From an HNM Mom)
* Note *: Patients First does not have an office in Bowie. The user is either talking about Nighttime Pediatric Care in the Bowie Health Center, or the Patients First office in Laurel.

"Awesome service, short wait, plus they have a play room with toys and videos!. The folks at Patient First in Laurel seemed nice but they "don't do sutures," which is why we ended up at HoCo." (From an HNM Mom)

" I have had several fantastic experiences there. While I can't speak for their long-term follow up or care for complicated issues, it is great for short-term, non-emergency things. In fact, if I think my daughter is sick, I will frequently go there over the weekend just to have them look at her ears or throat and then go to the pediatrician only if the problem recurs or is serious. I've never waited longer than 30 minutes to see the doctor. For me, it takes a lot of the stress out of trying to get into see the pediatrician, being worked in, and getting off of the mealtime or nap schedule because of a long
wait.
The only criticism I have is that they don't appear to consult any records from previous visits, so you'd have to be careful with recurring issues." (From a PG Parents Listserv Mom)
" FYI, after Kidlet had a 104.7 degree temp at daycare (and that was under-arm temp!) we headed to the ER but I also called Secure Medical Care and asked them if they could fit us in instead. The woman told me if his temp is that high they would just send us to the ER anyway."
(From an HNMom. End result: Kidlet first took some Tylenol and then went to the ER. Even before he was seen, he seemed much improved. ER decided no further treatment was necessary given Kidlet's behavior after Tylenol and his medical history.)

"Basically I got registered in the ER and the triage nurse told me I'd be fast-tracked to Express Care. Sure enough 20 minutes later (shorter wait than at my doc's) I was ushered into a big, lovely exam room, seen by a PA and nurse, and was on the way home with scripts just outside of an hour after we arrived." (From an HNM Mom)
