I went to urgent care in Leominster at 6:45 this evening. I can not believe how great the care I received there was. Ligia was pleasant, patient and determined to help me with my ear problem. She could have easily given me drops and told me to come back after a few days, especially being almost closing time on a Friday evening. She did just the opposite! She worked on me until I could literally hear again. When I complimented her she said “I’m just doing my job”with a smile on her face. She was more than just “doing her job” she was being a true professional. Couldn’t be more pleased with my experience at the Urgent Care near Marshall’s. Thank you!

My review is for telemedicine though I felt they were helpful when I visited the urgent care a few times. I had been prescribed many antibiotics before with Reliant and other telemedicine Teladoc. Azithromycin, Cipro could not cure my infection. Despite people would not believe it if I had throat infection or not, Teladoc gave me Keflex and it helped me but it did not cure me completely. Finally, Reliant prescribed me Bactrim for an insect bite on my spine which was not that bad but I insisted. Lucky for me. Despite Bactrim and Cipro are not good for my kidneys, Bactrim has cured my throat after 7 days. I am not planning to take Bactrim again in the future, hope I will not get infected again. I still gargle with saltwater too.

I recently had a Covid test at AFC in Stoneham. I was very anxious the Drs saw this immediately were very kind about it and calmed me down. This was also during a family emergency they were able to book my test same and provide results the same day(Something my Dr. could not manage to do at their testing site). I would recommend calling AFC for Covid testing they we're very thorough but also quick and painless. Thank you to all staff, God Bless you guys!
