I was very surprised with my experience here. My appointment was made very quickly. I was seen in a very short period of time. My test results came back in a very timely manner. I was able to speak with a doctor soon after and was taking care of. I was very satisfied with the experience I had here. I definitely recommend using them for any issues you have or any questions you may have.

The staff are so friendly and caring. I came with my elderly dad and they were gentle and treated him with such respect. The Dr. sat us down and explained everything and saved his life. She had us rush him to the ER so he could get admitted and receive care. We also hated taking the Covid test but they were very polite and gentle that I didn’t mind it. Thank you so much for you service and care.

I took my daughter here after an accident. The staff was very friendly and checked her thoroughly for any symptoms and told us to go the closest hospital. This was very helpful because they could have told us that she was fine but instead told us the best treatment instead just getting us in and out and on to the next patient. They're really close to us which also scores higher remarks.
