In LA, Hispanic neighborhoods have 24 hour urgent cares but the doctor quality is all over the place though usually bad.

Urgent cares used to be pretty upfront. I went to an urgent care a couple of years ago, $99 advertised in the window. I go in, fill out all the paperwork and they tell me it's going to be $150. When I point to the window, she says it's expired. I start to walk out and she tells me to come back and gives me price. This is not the only time I've had to walk out over various health things, it's ridiculous. They think you won't do it because you're ill and act that getting angry over this is some sort of insane response. So now I just pretend not to have the extra money.

Anyway, I use Heal now. So happy that the VCs are funding this, hope it lasts.
