Where the Doctor Waits for You!
NextCare Urgent Care introduces call ahead scheduling, a convenient new service virtually eliminating patient wait time.
Mesa, AZ (PRWEB) November 7, 2004 -- The last thing patients want when they
aren’t feeling well is to sit in a doctor’s office waiting for medical
attention. Luckily, patients in Arizona no longer have to worry about long wait
times…at NextCare Urgent Care the doctors wait for them! NextCare’s innovative
call ahead scheduling program will virtually eliminate waiting times by allowing
patients to schedule an appointment either on-line or by dialing the toll free
number, for treatment at any of the twelve (12) locations throughout Arizona.
Patients can utilize the new service by calling 1-800-NEXTCARE
(800-639-8227) or by logging on to the NextCare website at www.nextcare.com. Either option
takes just a few moments and provides patients the option of requesting the
appointment time or location of choice. Once the appointment is confirmed, the
patient can expect an exam room ready just for them. To further expedite their
care, patients can also complete their registration and medical history form
online.
“I was very happy because I knew what to expect and knew they
were expecting me,” quoting NextCare’s first patient to utilize the new call
ahead scheduling service. “I logged onto the website, scheduled my appointment
and filled out the registration form, all on-line! I was very pleased with the
ease of the process,” stated the Chandler, Arizona woman.
“The addition
of this state of the art service has been a year-long endeavor involving the
entire NextCare team. I am thrilled with its design and efficiency,” stated John
Shufeldt, MD, CEO and Founder of NextCare Urgent Care. He went on to say,
“Health care institutions need to imitate other service sectors by continually
exploring ways to both involve the consumer and streamline processes; call ahead
scheduling at NextCare, accomplishes both!”

7 days a week, evenings and holidays. The facilities are equipped to handle a
variety of ailments including sprains, strains, pneumonia, abdominal pain, cold
and cough, flu and lacerations. NextCare also provides drug screens, physicals
