Expect a new nail salon and bank this week.

The Pluckers site plan includes a nice sized patio and a couple pickleball courts.

Wow, that's a name I haven't heard in years, kinda forgot they were there. I remember it being good though.

In reply to MiMi It's been going downhill for years. They are all too happy to just write an Rx for ABX and send you on your way without a full exam.

But first they run every possible test they can bill your insurance for even though it will not change the treatment plan at all.

In reply to KidDoc Yes, this too.

Years ago, my oldest went in for throat pain and pressure in his ear. Handed him the swabs for strep, etc. Never examined his throat or ears. Gave him an Rx.

A week later, once he's done with those, he can barely swallow, spitting constantly, fever. Sent him to my favorite PA. Peritonsillar abscess. ENT couldn't get it drained in the office so he had emergency surgery that afternoon.

My family has actually had really good luck with Brazos Valley Urgent Care the past few years. Sad to hear they're closing.

They were our urgent care of choice. We went there several times, in and out quick and cheap (I was never charged more than 200 for a visit). Doubt I will find something comparable nowadays.

I had a feeling Brazos Valley Urgent Care would close soon. I went there a few months ago and had to sign some form before I was even allowed to check in agreeing to let them save my credit card information for an unknown period of time, "just in case" my insurance didn't reimburse them enough. It said if insurance didn't reimburse them enough they would immediately put everything on my credit card info they would be saving to their system - even though I have valid insurance that is very common in the area (A&M) and always reimburses. I have never had to sign a form like that or give permanent access to a credit card at any medical office or urgent care in my life. I have no problem with bills but it was almost enough to make me want to leave immediately and go somewhere else. I signed it because I was sick as a dog and just wanted to be seen but said to myself I would never go back because of that weird policy. I had been going there for years.

Cap Rock on Briarcrest has saved me from a long drive to Houston or long wait at BSW ON 3 occasions

Highly recommend

In reply to bcstx06 "Demand to be tested for whatever you think is necessary"….you get tested for what the doctor thinks you need to be tested for, if you don't like what he did you find another one. This is a huge problem in healthcare today, everyone thinks they know better than the providers.

I absolutely hate Dr. Google. And I'm just a veterinarian. Everyone is a medical expert now.

Have clients tell me that they've been researching their pet's symptoms and they think they have this or that and that I need to treat it a certain way. I tell them to go home and call Dr. Google and have them write the script.

Amazing how quick they change their tune. I just don't put up with that bull***** 8 years of college and 38 years of experience here. I have no problem saying I know more that their Google search engine.

This is good to hear. So many of the parking lots are way underused. This will probably help the cinemark as well.
I once watched a kid sitting next to me chow down a large pizza and then go grab another with about 15 minutes left in the movie. He probably wasn't over 12 years old.

The Cap Rock Hospital is nice, but I wasted $250 going there a few years back and was not tested for flu/strep/Covid and was sent home with a prescription for sore throat. The next day I went to Integrity Urgent Care, paid a $35 copay and was properly diagnosed. Cap Rock is nice and fast but only go in emergencies. The only reason I went is because it was so late that nothing else was open but the emergency rooms at the big hospitals. Also demand to be tested for whatever you may feel is necessary.

The same could be said for any emergency room. Only go in emergencies. Shocking, I know!
