Chris Reviews

Chris Woods, a Licensed Nurse Practitioner, reads your text personally. He might ask when it started or if you've had UTIs before. Think of it like texting a friend who happens to know medicine.

Prescription Sent

If antibiotics are appropriate, your prescription gets sent electronically to whichever pharmacy is closest to you. Most people pick up same-day. Done.

Treatment follows IDSA uncomplicated UTI guidelines, first-line antibiotics are selected based on your symptoms, history, and local resistance patterns.

What a UTI Is, in Plain Language

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection of the urinary system. The most common form, and the one we treat by text, is acute uncomplicated cystitis, an infection of the bladder. You'll also see it called a "bladder infection." In medical coding, it's ICD-10 N39.0.

Most UTIs are caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria from the gut traveling up the urethra. Women get UTIs far more often than men because the female urethra is shorter, anatomy that makes it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. About 50-60% of women will have at least one UTI in their lifetime.

Classic UTI symptoms

If you've got the classic combo of burning, urgency, and frequency, and you're otherwise healthy, that's a textbook uncomplicated UTI, and a text visit can resolve it the same day. Read the full UTI patient guide for a deeper dive on causes, prevention, and recovery.

UTI vs. Yeast Infection vs. STI vs. Kidney Infection

"Down-there" symptoms can be confusing. Here's a quick way to tell what's what, and what each one needs.

Condition Hallmark symptoms What it needs
UTI (bladder infection) Burning when you pee, urgency, frequency, suprapubic pressure Oral antibiotics (we treat this by text)
Yeast infection Itching, thick white discharge, redness — no burning while urinating Antifungal (oral or topical). See our yeast infection guide.
STI (chlamydia, gonorrhea) Burning + unusual discharge, pelvic pain, recent new partner In-person testing & treatment (we'll refer you)
Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) UTI symptoms plus fever, chills, back/side pain, nausea In-person care, often IV antibiotics — head to ER/urgent care

Not sure which one fits? Text us, Chris will ask the right questions to point you to the right care.

What We Can Prescribe in Your UTI Visit

First-line antibiotic choices follow the IDSA uncomplicated UTI guideline. We can also send something for the symptoms while the antibiotic kicks in — and a yeast cream if antibiotics throw things off.

First-line antibiotic

Nitrofurantoin

Brand: Macrobid, Macrodantin

Typically a 5-day course. Concentrates in the bladder, low resistance rates, well tolerated.
First-line antibiotic

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole

Brand: Bactrim, Septra (TMP-SMX)

3-day course. Inexpensive and effective if local E. coli resistance is below ~20%.
Alternative antibiotic

Cephalexin

Brand: Keflex

5-7 day course. Useful if you have a sulfa allergy or recent nitrofurantoin use.
Symptom relief

Phenazopyridine

Brand: Pyridium, Azo

A urinary analgesic, not an antibiotic. Calms the burning and urgency while the antibiotic does the real work. Turns your urine bright orange — that's normal.

For yeast (if it follows antibiotics)

Nystatin cream

Topical antifungal

Antibiotics sometimes trigger a yeast flare. If that happens, text us, we can send nystatin cream the same way we sent your antibiotic.

Most generics run under $10 with GoodRx at any pharmacy. We send each prescription electronically; you choose where to pick up.

When to Go to the ER Instead

I'm a nurse practitioner, not a salesman. If something more serious is going on, I want you in an ER, not texting me. Here's how to tell the difference:

Head to the ER if any of these apply:

  • Fever over 101°F along with pain in your back or side, that's kidney territory, and you may need IV antibiotics
  • Significant blood in your urine (not just a little pink)
  • You can't keep fluids down, because you can't take oral antibiotics if you're throwing everything up
  • You're pregnant or think you might be
  • It's a child under 2 with urinary symptoms

For the classic stuff, burning, urgency, frequency, lower belly pressure, that's bread-and-butter telehealth, and we handle it all the time.

Who This Is For (and Who It Isn't)

Text-based UTI care works for most uncomplicated cases. It isn't right for everyone. Here's the honest line.

Good fit
  • ✓ Non-pregnant adult woman with classic UTI symptoms
  • ✓ Burning, urgency, frequency, suprapubic pressure
  • ✓ Otherwise healthy — no fever, no flank pain
  • ✓ Located in one of our 11 licensed states
  • ✓ Symptoms less than ~5 days
Needs in-person care
  • ✗ Pregnant or possibly pregnant
  • ✗ Men (UTIs in men are typically complicated)
  • ✗ Fever, chills, or back/flank pain (possible kidney infection)
  • ✗ Children under 2
  • ✗ Catheter-associated UTI or known anatomic urinary issue

Not sure where you fall? Text us anyway, we'll point you to the right kind of care, no charge for the honesty.

Recurrent UTIs — What We Can and Can't Do

A UTI is considered recurrent when you have two or more in six months, or three or more in a year. About 1 in 4 women who get one UTI will have another within six months.

For the acute flare-up — the "it's back again, I know the feeling" episode — a text visit works the same way it does for a first UTI. Chris will pick an antibiotic based on what's worked for you before and what hasn't.

What we can't do via text is the longer workup that recurrent UTIs sometimes need: urine cultures with sensitivities, post-menopausal estrogen evaluation, imaging, or a urology referral. If that's where you are, we'll be straight with you and point you toward in-person care. The AUA recurrent UTI guideline is the standard reference for what that workup looks like.

Common Questions

Can I really get UTI antibiotics without going in?

Yes. For uncomplicated UTIs, the kind where it burns when you pee, you're going constantly, and you know the feeling, a text-based visit with a nurse practitioner is clinically supported. Chris takes a thorough history via text, and if antibiotics are the right call, he sends the prescription electronically. No video call, no driving anywhere.

What if it's not a UTI?

Chris will ask enough questions to figure out what's going on. If it's something he can help with via text, he will. If it needs in-person care or testing, he'll tell you straight up, no charge for the honesty. You won't get billed for a "sorry, go see someone else."

How much do the antibiotics cost?

The $59 covers the visit with Chris. Meds are separate, but most generic UTI antibiotics, like nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, run under $10 with GoodRx at most pharmacies. So you're looking at under $70 total, start to finish.

How much does it cost?

$59 flat, that's the whole cost. No hidden fees, no copay, no surprise bills. No paperwork. NPCWoods was built specifically for people who want affordable, straightforward healthcare without the runaround.

How fast will I hear back?

Most people hear back within a few hours. Chris personally reads every text, no call centers, no chatbots. If antibiotics are appropriate, your prescription gets sent electronically to whichever pharmacy is closest to you. Many people pick up same-day.

How do I get a UTI prescription online?

Text Chris at (480) 639-4722 with what's going on, burning, urgency, frequency, anything you've already tried. He asks follow-up questions to rule out anything that needs in-person care. If antibiotics are the right call, your online UTI prescription is sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice. Most people pick up same day. The whole thing, text, history, prescription, is $59 flat.

Can men get UTI treatment online?

UTIs in men are less common and often considered complicated, which means in-person evaluation is usually the right call. If you're a man with UTI-like symptoms, text us anyway, Chris will help you figure out whether it's something a text visit can handle or whether you should be seen in person. We won't bill you for a "go see someone else" answer.

What if I'm pregnant or might be?

If you're pregnant or think you might be, you need in-person care. UTIs during pregnancy can progress quickly and require monitoring that text-based care can't safely provide. Head to an OB office, urgent care, or ER for evaluation, not to us.

How is this different from urgent care?

Urgent care typically runs $150-$250 for a UTI visit, plus the time you spend sitting in a waiting room. NPCWoods is $59 flat, by text, from wherever you are, no waiting room, no driving, no co-pay surprises. For uncomplicated UTIs in licensed states, the clinical pathway is the same: history, symptoms, first-line antibiotic per IDSA guidelines. We also wrote a full comparison: telehealth vs urgent care.

What if I don't feel better in 48 hours?

Most people feel meaningful relief within 24 to 48 hours of starting antibiotics. If you're not improving, text Chris back, he may switch you to a different antibiotic, or recommend in-person evaluation to rule out a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) or resistance. The follow-up is part of your $59.
