Extremely rude and unprofessional front desk lady. She was cutting me off mid-sentence. She text me about my insurance but didnt respond when I asked if I should change my appointment. When I called she had a chip on her shoulder as if I were to already know the information she was telling me. This was the absolute worst experience Ive ever had with any PIC. I will never trust this location with my care. If this is the attitude they allow in the front office I can only imagine how rude and disrespectful the rest of the staff must be.ETA I called another PIC and they verified that my insurance is in fact in-network which I already knew because I have been to several locations over the past few years. So this front desk lady was either lying about my insurance or too lazy to add another appointment to their day. Either way I do NOT recommend the Plainfield location on route 59. Save yourself the headache of dealing with her and choose another location. ANY other location.

DO NOT GO HERE BILLING NIGHTMARE Service was fantastic when my son broke his arm. Unfortunately their billing department is a nightmare. Insurance paid the bill for the service right away. Physicians Immediate Care has misapplied the payment and shows it has not been received. We have been trying to resolve the billing issue with for months with no cooperation from Physicians Immediate Care I have offered to send the explanation of benefits call the insurance company together have requested to talk to a supervisor over 10x no response or call back and have sent several emails no response. They refuse to receive anything from me they refuse to talk to the insurance company with me on the phone and will not call them directly and I never get a call back from a supervisor. From an insurance perspective this claim is paid and closed. The bill has been paid for over three months and they are threatening collections. We are at the point of escalating this issue as insurance fraud by Physicians Immediate care. Patients beware After HOURS on the phone over several months we are no step closer to a resolution.

I love this place. Everybody is always so nice and efficient. They are very professional with kindness. Easy to get appts wait time is limited and they can do limited xrays and testing onsite. I very much recommend this specific location. Ive used it amost a dozen times starting during early covid days due to exposures for testing.

Visited this location for my 3 12 year-old who needed stitches. He was obviously very upset but everyone in the office was very welcoming and helpful. I cannot say enough positive things about Elodie Schembri She helped my son feel at ease and explained everything she did as she did it. She was so sweet to my son and my youngest child and really helped a very scary situation go smoothly. We will 100 come back to this location anytime we need an urgent care. Thank you all

I recently fell and hurt my wrist and was concerned it might be broken. Having spent 7-8 hours at the ER previously I did not want to go back there. I was seen very promptly and taken care of within an hour here. Everybody was friendly and helpful and made my experience so good . I would definitely recommend physicians immediate care.

Ive gone here a few times over the last few years. Ive been here for anything from Covid tests to sprained fingers to hey this looks weird help type of ailments. No matter what theyve always been efficient kind and thorough. Even in the beginning of the lockdown they worked their butts off to make sure as many people were safe and healthy as possible. I just went in last night and I was met with nothing but kindness. The woman working the front desk made my night the male nurse I believe he was a nurse kept me comfortable and laughing the whole time and both practitioners listened thoroughly and made sure to provide me with the best help. Great experience -to respond to your question you can totally use this on your website

I was in for respiratory illness in November. The nurse practitioner seemed to think my cough and difficulty breathing was just allergies but said she would prescribe cough medication and an inhaler. It took 4 phone calls to get anything sent to the pharmacy 2 days later and then she said she never said anything about medication and only sent an inhaler. I wound up in the ER with pneumonia a week later where the ER doctor wondered how I let my cough and illness get so bad. Do not recommend this immediate care. Very frustrating and a waste of time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your pediatrician might be able to administer screenings, but most general doctors are not trained to formally diagnose autism. They might refer you to a qualified diagnostic clinician which include:
Developmental Pediatricians
Child Psychologists
Child Psychiatrists
Pediatric Neurologists
Pediatric Neuropsychologists
Your experience might look different depending on the type of clinician you choose. Many families prefer working with developmental pediatricians. Others might work with a psychiatrist or another specialist to get a different perspective.
A formal ASD diagnosis, or a medical diagnosis, helps you get the support your family needs, especially within the context of accessing medically necessary therapies and services.
Insurance Coverage for Therapies: Medically necessary therapies for ASD are often covered by insurance including, but not limited to, speech therapy, ABA therapy, and occupational therapy.
Financial Support: A diagnosis is required when applying for social security or disability benefits.
Plan for Care: A diagnosis helps identify your child’s support needs. For example, your child might need to develop social communication and self-regulation skills.
Future Research: The more data we gather through evaluations, the more we can improve services for autistic children and adults.
The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:
Complete OT evaluation. An occupational therapist first identifies your child’s strengths and needs through a thorough OT evaluation, also known as an OT assessment or screening. You’ll answer questions about your child’s skills, and your child will most likely demonstrate their skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a few hours.
Approve OT plan. The therapist develops a care plan with individualized goals and customized interventions based on your child’s needs. You can also share any specific goals or concerns before approving the OT plan.
Start therapy sessions. The therapist works directly with your child and your family, using various strategies and exercises to systematically improve areas of limitations and to build upon a child’s strengths. Some exercises your child might participate in are animal walks, obstacle courses, and therapy swing activities. Your family may learn strategies for supporting your child’s individualized needs at home, such as ways of supporting emotional regulation and sensory processing. The therapist may also recommend tools and techniques to use at home, in the community, or in the classroom to help your child succeed.
Monitor your child’s progress. Parents and caregivers can expect ongoing progress monitoring and communication to ensure the child is achieving their short and long-term goals.
Occupational therapy can also be provided virtually via telemedicine. Virtual therapy is a great option for families in rural areas who may not have access to in-person services, or for families who prefer to have therapy in their child’s home.
Virtual OT allows the opportunity for increased caregiver participation and understanding of a child’s strengths, areas of improvement, and generalization of skills in the child’s home environment. Virtual therapy also provides increased opportunities for caregiver and family education to support the child and the family based on each family’s needs.
Once you find a quality physical therapist you want to work with, here are a few things you need to know:
There will be an evaluation. First, you can expect an assessment to identify your child’s areas of strength and needs. A physical therapy evaluation usually lasts 30 minutes.
You’ll review and approve the care plan. The physical therapist will create a care plan, also known as a plan of care (POC), outlining the goals and strategies. They will review this with you and your care team before moving forward with therapy sessions.
Physical therapy sessions will be fun. PT with children is designed to be enjoyable. The therapist will use strategies and exercises based on your child’s needs. Exercises might involve playing on large stability balls, obstacle courses, movement equipment, stretches, and other hands-on activities.
Expect home exercises. Physical therapists commonly assign exercises to work on at home. Doing these exercises with your child outside therapy sessions can improve your child’s overall progress.
Yes! Most providers offer physical therapy in their offices or a clinical setting, but many are offering at-home options. Virtual options have become more popular in recent years. You might facilitate care with the guidance of the physical therapist.
Pediatric physical therapy is considered safe and should not hurt. Autistic children spend their time in PT moving and exploring their environment. If you are concerned about your child experiencing pain during certain exercises, especially if they may struggle to communicate and advocate for modifications, speak with their physical therapist about your concerns.
