I'm relatively new to Charleston, and, although I have a new primary care physician here, I awoke two days before Easter with an upper respiratory infection that I knew was going to be a doozy. Instead of hunting down my new doctor down on a holiday, I googled "urgent care Charleston" and Access Healthcare popped up. LUCKY ME! I called from my sick bed, Dr. Dave answered and he said come on over. I was there in ten minutes..... there is parking in the back of the building... a big deal in Charleston....Dr. Dave greeted me (with his adorable young daughter, dressed in Karate garb), did a quick but thorough assessment, handed me two medications and I was out of there within 20 minutes. His office is cheerful and modern, and this guy knows his stuff. I have no idea if my insurance will reimburse me... no matter... it was the best $100 I could have spent. Total time from death bed to recovery bed (including meds): 60. Rapid, stress-free medical care: Priceless

While I didn't want to go back to the doctor while on vacation, it was a pleasure to work with Dr. Dave again. He was wonderful when my daughter had strep throat last year (opening his office on a Sunday, giving her scrubs when she got sick all over her dress, and was quick). This year I knew something was wrong, but a quick trip to see Dr. Dave and I was quickly given the meds I needed to start feeling better (shingles). Maybe next year we will make a trip down without needing a doctor, but I wish it was as easy to get in to see my doctor here in Chicago. Thanks!

My wife and I were on vacation in Charleston from NYC. I woke up Sunday morning with shortness of breathe and felt very weak. We were scheduled to fly back home the next day and I was concerned given how I was feeling. We called Access Healthcare and withiin an hour was seen by Dr Dave. He was exteremly thorough and was able to give me medication on site. His office was very calming - didn't feel like I was in a doctor's office, which was nice. Being sick on vacation is stessful to say the least, however seeing Dr Dave was anything but. My overall experience was great. I would, without hesitation, recommend Dr Dave.

Andrew B.

I was in Charleston as a visitor when I needed immediate medical care. It was suggested that I see Dr Dave, and I could not have been happier. From the moment I arrived at his office, he and his staff made the process simple, professional and very helpful. I am old enough to have seen many doctors in my life, and I have to admit that Dr Dave’s help was outstanding. I wish he had his practice was in Houston where I live.

I'M OBSESSED with Access Healthcare. They are Fantastic!!! I became very ill one week and called on a Saturday morning and they were able to take me in within 30 minutes of my call. Dr. Dave even answered the phone himself! He diagnosed me quickly and efficiently and gave me all the medication I needed right there. The location and office is beautiful and very clean. ***HIGHLY RECOMMENDED***

Marci L.

Dr. Dave was amazing. I was in Charleston for my birthday and woke up sick Saturday morning. I was given Access Healthcares number from the clerk at the Hotel where I was staying. I called and Dr. Dave at 8:50am (he answered the phone) and he said come right on. I was seen and back at my hotel by 9:30am with meds in hand. It saved my weekend! Not to mention his beautiful office and home on Calhoun Street. If you are ever sick and in Charleston Dr. Dave is the one to see! Amazing experience.

I walked in the door and looked around while Stacey was attending another client. Greeted me nicely and sorted out the normal .name,address,DOB etc. Waited about 6 mins then a few normal things, blood pressure,temp, etc. another 2 minutes and Dr Dave greeted me. Talked over my ear infection had a look checked a few things and discussed the symptoms. I t was a nice experience and would go back next time in town. As being a yachtie it's hard to find a good GP on the fly.

Taylor W.

They were very flexible and very helpful in scheduling, even after I accidentally missed my first appointment with them. Once I was there the staff & doctor was friendly and professional. Treatment was fast but didn't seem rushed. I was very impressed by their level of service.

Kate P.

After 24+ hours with a migraine and meds not working, I tried to go to my normal primary care physician, who refused to take me on a Friday afternoon. I found Access Healthcare on Google, and called right away. Dr. Dave answered and said he would take me in 20 minutes, despite being off for the afternoon (and despite my frantic state on the phone). He met with me and treated me like one of his own patients and even called me personally the next day to check up on me. I would highly recommend Dr. Dave to anyone seeking a primary care physician, or anyone in an urgent situation like I was. Thanks for your excellent care, Dr. Dave!

I had a little bit of a run in with a slamming door on a Saturday morning while getting ready for work, and ended up with a gash over my eye. I wasn't sure how deep it was & figured I should have it looked at in case I needed stitches. My fiance Googled 'Urgent Care Clinic' and Access Healthcare popped up along with many great reviews! Dr. Dave answered and told us to come right in. We arrived within 10 minutes and he greeted us and took me in immediately. We were in and out in about 20 minutes, me with a few pieces of surgical tape over the cut to keep it closed. Dr. Dave was really fantastic and I highly recommend Access Healthcare!

Joseph B.

Dr. Dave was amazing! I walked in and they helped me almost instantly -- saved the day! Clean, welcoming environment, fun people, and efficient care. I was thrilled!

Ian S.

I highly recommend Dr. David. He has really simplified the healthcare process. You get excellent service with personalized attention made convenient. I have been taking my daughter to him since kindergarten as well as seeing him myself. There is no comparison to the experience at other facilitie

Maria M.

I appreciate being able to come in on the same day. Everyone was attentive and kind.

Kate C.

On top of this practice being the ONLY urgent care open in the area on such a very snowy day. Dr. Albenberg did a wonderful job on helping me get my health back. I can’t be thankful enough. I appreciated the patience and seamless visit. I am now able to get back to work promptly. Thank you again!

Lori H.

Team was great. Really liked Dr Dave. I was in from out of town and a little hesitate to go anywhere. However, he listened and took care of my issue. Made me feel comfortable. Appreciate it!!

Ms L

Stopped her while on a mini vacation and what a blessing! Walked in and taken care of immediately. They made what could’ve been a miserable time a memorable one. They ensured the treatment I received was for long term benefits rather than a quick fix. Just like healthcare should be. Much appreciation and a heartfelt thanks to the team caring for me.

Linda

Colin did an outstanding job when I saw him for two minor health issues. He listened carefully, asked good questions, and showed honest concern. He did an excellent job in giving me an option on selecting the right meds for me. I had an excellent experience with Colin! I’d definitely go back to see him again!

Joseph D.

I was under ongoing antibiotic treatment for the flu before Christmas and had a skin reaction to the medication. Dave was able to diagnose the problem, and put me on the road to clearing it up. He contacted me a couple of days later for a follow up and then checked back in via phone and txt to see how I was progressing.

Fuller C.

I was looking online at all of those stand-alone primary care facilities that I'm always driving past, when I stumbled upon Access Healthcare and Dr. Dave. I was able to get a next-day appointment (it wasn't an urgent situation) and he took care of my health issues effectively. He has a great bedside manner, is very thorough, and creates a non-rushed environment. I hope I don't need to see a doctor for a while, but if I do, it will be him!

Patrick K.

Dr. Albenberg was very accomodating and so helpful! My little one woke up sick while we were visiting Charleston and we were able to get him checked out and get an antibiotic very quickly which salvaged our trip!
