Memorial Healthcare Management
“My wife and I went to Willow Urgent Care for a couple of years when we had Anthem Blue Cross, at least up until the end of 2011 when my employer dropped my insurance in favor of Kaiser. At the time, we were members of the Memorial Healthcare IPA the group that ran WUC, so that made it convenient because we live nearby. When I had back problems I went to Willow Urgent Care's affiliate, Willow Wellness Center. Located just north, down Temple and within walking distance, it has also closed down for good (WWC had some great physical therapists--very motivational). We went to Willow Urgent Care for flu shots, an injury to the head, my wife's injury from a fall, and basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer) surgery (it's true, and the doctor dug it all out--ow). In the back of the building they had a sort of separate facility for surgeries and whatnot--very convenient. We mostly had no problems at WUC, except my wife had some because the physician-type person failed to understand that her more severe injury was in her leg, not her arm (long story mercifully short). The waiting room was rendered more bearable because of the DVD player that played G-rated movies and documentaries. Oh well, goodbye Willow Urgent Care. I hope a new tenant arrives pronto (wouldn't it suck if it turned out to be United HealthCare, the parent of the company that bought out Memorial Healthcare IPA?). We're screwed no matter what anyway.”
