Went in with cough fever ear pain was seen in a timely manner. The person i saw didn't introduce himself so I don't know if he was a Dr or Pa after a minimal exam I had to ask him what I had he replied bronchitis I wasn't given any information as to what I was supposed to do never received a after care summary. I had to ask him if he was finished and could I leave . I wouldn't recommend that guy whoever he was to anyone. Check-in was pleasant and efficient probably won't be back worst care ever I've been to this clinic several times this was the worst experience ever provider was very unkempt and his mask was very dirty clothes were to small and he needed a shave, ugh very unpleasant.

The scheduling was very easy to do and for me who was out of state was kind of confusing I thought that you could go anywhere and use your insurance no matter what kind of insurance you have. But I found out the only place I could go and use my out of state insurance was the emergency room. The Staff was amazing and the care was good. The only thing I had issues with is being taken back to a room and left for almost 2 1/2 hours before seeing the doctor. But , overall it went pretty good.
