For what it's worth, HCA bought BetterMed but I don't know if that gets you anything. Both HCA and Bon Secours also have emergency centers in the area.

I’ve had great luck with BetterMed over the years. BetterMed is staffed by mostly emergency room personnel from around the area and they are great at diagnosing and addressing issues. Specifically, about 4 years ago I had terrible abdominal pain and saw Dr Juan at the Willow Lawn location. He did X-rays and bloodwork at BetterMed and ordered a CT scan that same evening at St Mary’s to confirm that I had diverticulosis and he got the Willow Lawn CVS pharmacy to stay open 10 mins after closing time so that I could get started on antibiotics ASAP. Last summer, another Dr correctly diagnosed my daughter’s yeast allergy (pediatrician and dermatologist thought her hives was just a rash) by asking a lot of great questions about her diet and reactions to food. An allergist confirmed her yeast allergy, which she now carries an epi pen for! Probably TMI but wanted to share my experience in case it’s helpful!!
