Telehealth Reviews
I highly recommend UMG Urgent Care. Scheduling a telehealth consultation was seamless. Stephanie the NP was compassionate and thorough in her assessment. I am very satisfied with the service I received.
UMG, urgent care has some of the most kind staff, including the owner! She’s smart, organized & makes the process of telehealth so much less daunting! I’m very excited for their grand opening in a month, as I know it’s going to serve the community really well.
I had a telehealth visit with Stephanie Arseneault She carefully listened as I shared my symptoms with her. She performed her due diligence, asking about my medical history, prior medication, and meds I am allergic to. Because I have a history with this illness, she was able to call in a prescription and now I’m on my way to improved breathing. While I have a PCP, UMG urgent care may just become my back up when I am unable to see my PCP. Ms. Arseneault heard me and was very patient and helpful in answering my questions. Looking forward to the opening of their office at the end of February.

My telehealth visit went great! The process of setting up an appointment was simple, and I easily found a day and time that worked for me. The provider was very attentive to my symptoms and made sure my medication was promptly sent to the pharmacy. I really appreciated how responsive and efficient the whole experience was.
