Silverside Medical Aid Unit

RE: Philipha N.
I am really shocked at your complaint about this nurse practitioner. Mare has been at my aide for several years now and has been nothing but kind, helpful and empathetic. If she sent in another nurse to answer your questions then I’m not sure what you are complaining about. It sounds like you got the care that you needed. Did you stop to think that perhaps Mare had another patient with a more serious injury that she had to attend to?
I trust that a nurse practioner with the length of service and education that Mare has would know what is best for her patients.
Were you having a bad day when you wrote this? Cheer up!

This place stinks. Finger needed stitches & I am soaking thru towels yet due to a packed waiting room full of coughing people I had to wait over an hour to be seen! So much for triage! The nurse was nice, the doctor was rude & obviously had a long day but this was my second time in here and both times I had him he was rude so it wasn’t because they were slammed! Next time I will take my chances in the ER!!!

This place is wonderful when you need a doc off hours/​on weekends. However, I will never go again when a DR. HORATIO JONES is on duty. He is the most arrogant, ignorant doctor I have ever come into contact with. The problem was that I needed a pain pill and he jumped to the defense as though I was trying to pull the wool over his eyes just to get high or sell the pills for a profit. DEAR MCFLY: PEOPLE DO PRESENT WITH REAL PAIN. It does not mean you need to get your pants in a bunch and automatically assume the worst case scenario. I really can’t stand this guy and if he is on duty when I next call to ask, I will go to Naamans Road. THIS GUY IS MAJOR ARROGANT. MY MESSAGE TO HORATIO: GET LOST.

Went on Sunday afternoon to get an X-​ray for a bad sprained ankle/​possible fracture. In and out within 1.5 hours, much more convenien than ER. Friendly staff and doctors. Highly recommend.

I have gone to the Silverside medical aid unit on multiple occasions now and find that the care I receive has been in line if not better than the care I receive at my primary physician’s office.
I have been seen at the unit and have brought my 5 year old child to be seen as well. I would choose this service over an Emergency Room in any instance and value the convenience it affords me at a very reasonable price. I applaud the use of applying appropriate personnel to appropriate tasks in an effort to maximize efficient use of my time and insurance dollars.
I have actually seen the nurse practitioner named in the earlier review on each occasion. She has been attentive and professional each time and I certainly would say is not worthy of having her name posted with such negative unverified feedback.

Recently revamped and whole office has much more modern feel and seems a little better managed. Good for in-​a-​pinch care when ER visit isn’t called for and primary care doctor not available. Friendly and compassionate staff.

This place rocks.
Silverside Medical Aid Unit is a walk-​in doctors office; no appointment ever needed. They handle non-​life-​threatening stuff like colds, wrenched backs, stitches, minor broken things (fingers, noses, etc.). They’re open 7 days per week (including holidays), usually from 9 – 6 or somesuch. (Call to make sure.)
They’re pretty busy on weekends, but during the week you can get in and out of there quickly. I was there this weekend for an ear infection and the place was packed, and my whole visit probably took 90 minutes. Much better than waiting a week to see my regular doc.
They take most insurance, and even if you’re uninsured a typical office visit runs you about $ 65 out of pocket. Not a bad deal.
The front office staff is terrific, and they just redid their waiting room so it’s all shiny new and comfy.
You probably won’t see the same doctor there twice, but when you’re in a pinch you don’t care.
If you’re on Silverside Road heading towards 202, they’ll be on the left-​hand side a little ways after you cross Foulk Road. They’re inside that medical building there; first door on the left when you walk inside.
