Temple University Student Health Services — Local services in Philadelphia

NO WALK INS, APPOINTMENTS ONLY!!! Giving two stars because: the doctors and nurses here are great, but the receptionists are truly awful. I came in a couple months ago, extremely lightheaded and feeling I was on the verge of passing out thinking it was from some gastrointestinal bleeding that day (turns out the faint feeling was from a massive panic attack). The receptionists found out I walked in without an appointment - as a result they were very angry and lectured me on the fact they don't do walk ins.

But 1) I have never used student health services before and 2) If I'm bleeding and about to pass out, my immediate reaction is to get help asap, not call for an appointment.

Temple really needs to step up their game when it comes to their student's health and safety, because we all know campus safety is subpar too, but that's...

I was told that I would get my covid test results back within 24 hours. Well, it's been over 24 hours and there is no phone number for me to call to see what happened with my test results. I went on a wild goose chase calling and being redirected to supposedly related numbers that were actually not related or knowledgeable about the covid testing site on the Temple main campus at all. Now, Temple University is closed for the holidays and I don't know if it's safe for me to leave tomorrow to drive to another state to see my...
