Urgent care on Shea is closed. HonorHealth Osborn is a three-hour wait. Text us instead. Below is exactly what it costs and what happens, line by line.
Start my $59 visit →It's 9pm on a Friday. You just got back from catching the Giants at Scottsdale Stadium. great game, but you've been holding it since the 5th inning because the lines were ridiculous. Now you're home, and every single trip to the bathroom feels like fire. You've been four times in the last hour. You know exactly what this is.
You pull up Google. The urgent care on Shea Blvd closed at 7. The ER at HonorHealth Osborn in Old Town? Sure, you could sit there for three hours with a waiting room full of people who are way sicker than you. Or you could just... not do that.
Here's what you do instead: you text (480) 639-4722 while you're still sitting on your couch. You tell Chris. a real nurse practitioner, not a chatbot. what's going on. He asks a couple follow-up questions. If it's a straightforward UTI (and let's be honest, you've had one before, you know the drill), he sends a prescription to Civic Center Pharmacy (a local independent pharmacy) over on Osborn. You pick it up tomorrow morning on your way up Loop 101. Done. $59. $59 flat. no paperwork, no hassle.
Before you even finish the episode you're watching, it's handled.
NPCWoods Telemedicine treats UTIs in Scottsdale, Arizona for $59 via text message. $59 flat. no paperwork, no hassle. No appointment. just text (480) 639-4722, describe your symptoms, and Chris Woods, a licensed nurse practitioner, will respond same-day. Prescriptions sent directly to your Scottsdale pharmacy.
You know how ordering food on your phone takes longer than it should? This is faster than that.
Text (480) 639-4722. Say something like "hey, it burns when I pee and it won't stop." That's literally enough. No app, no portal, no creating an account with a password you'll forget.
Chris. a real nurse practitioner licensed in Arizona. will text back. He might ask when it started, if you've had UTIs before, or if anything else is going on. Think of it like texting a friend who happens to know medicine. Except this friend can actually write you a prescription.
Civic Center Pharmacy on Osborn has been in Scottsdale since 1996. Or Fry's on Hayden Road if that's your route. The prescription shows up electronically. you just walk in and pick it up.
The whole thing costs $59. Flat. No surprise bills. No paperwork.
Let's just lay it out. You have a UTI in Scottsdale. Here are your real options:

| Wait time | 2-4 hours | 30-90 minutes | Response in hours, from your couch |
| Hidden costs? | Basically yes | Usually | No |
| Available at 10pm? | Yes (but the wait...) | No | Yes |
Chris Woods is a real nurse practitioner. licensed in Arizona, not a chatbot, not a call center. He reads your text himself and responds personally. The Northeast Valley has a million telehealth options that route you to some random provider in another state who's juggling 40 patients at once. This isn't that. This is one NP who actually reads your text and treats you like a person, not a ticket number. Verify Chris's credentials on the Arizona Board of Nursing.
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:
It burns when you pee, you're going constantly, maybe some pressure in your lower belly. Classic, uncomplicated, you've probably had one before. This is bread-and-butter telehealth stuff.
HonorHealth Osborn in Old Town or HonorHealth Shea on Shea Blvd. whichever's closer. Don't mess around with kidney stuff.

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.
Chris will ask enough questions to figure out what's going on. If it's something he can help with, he will. If it needs in-person care or testing, he'll tell you straight up. You won't get charged for a "sorry, go see someone else."
The $59 covers the visit. Meds are separate, but most generic UTI antibiotics. like nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. run under $10 with GoodRx at pharmacies in Scottsdale. So you're looking at under $70 total, start to finish.
That's literally who this is built for. $59 flat, no hidden fees, no surprise bills. A lot of folks in the Northeast Valley. especially people working jobs that don't offer benefits. use NPCWoods specifically because it's affordable and simple.
