Wellness Express Clinic

This entry refers to a departed business that has closed or left town. All information here is for historical reference only.

 

All Wellness Express locations closed on November 17, 2006.

This walk-in clinic handled minor medical conditions and routine examinations. It opened in April 2005 and was located by the pharmacy inside Longs Drugs. At first, the clinic did not bill insurance directly but provided documentation for reimbursement. Later, if your insurance accepted them as a provider, you paid your normal copay.

The company was founded by UC Davis alum Dr. Wesley Chan. The goal wass to reduce the load on hospitals by allowing people to receive non-urgent care without going to an emergency room.

2005-08-04 19:27:41   We went there today; they can do camp, sports and school physicals for kids. The service was fine, the doctor in attendance had some trouble with the computer system (purely learning-curve stuff) but successfully gave my girls their annual physicals. They don't have a full collection of vaccines, but they usually do have the most commonly used. There's a special on visits for physicals this month (August), regular price $48, special is $40. Fabulous option for uninsured new residents with kids starting school here. —BlancheNonken
