I was able to choose a Labcorp location and schedule an appointment. Check in was easy, and I only needed to provide my name and DOB. They were able to locate my order in their system. They were already aware that my labs were paid for prior to the appointment. I had my labs done on a Wednesday, and I received my results by Saturday. Great experience.

I never leave reviews bc I'm a busy mama, but the CARE in this GET WELL Urgent Care location was beyond my expectations! Let me start from begging, we are here visiting NY from Miami with my two 10 y/o children. We came to Clifton to visit a restaurant next to the Clinic. After that we've stopped by a grocery store and my girl was playing on metal bars in front of the store and ripped, cut her leg open! Parents' worst nightmare! She needs Stiches, she's bleeding and crying in pain, my husband is fainting... I'm a nurse and I even got dizzy!!! Now, we're out of town, don't know area... and Get Well showed up on my map! 1 min away! We've walked in, the stuff, 3 of them jumped to the rescue ! They were professional , knowledgeable and compassionate... I felt like I hit the lottery! Mr. Mario took care of my husband and paperwork and an Angel, Beautiful being Sotiria Simeonidis PA-C took me and my Daughter in to the room for Stiches! She did amazing with consoling and educating and explaining the procedure to my crying and scared daughter Mila! Dr. Simeonidis used 'magic' and she performed a mini plastic surgery/stitching of the wound! I have no words! We are blessed beyond belief!!!!! Forever great full to the team at Get Well Urgent care! Maybe it’s named now A+.
