The wait time was very good; I even scheduled an appointment, and I didn't have to wait right away. On other occasions, I've had to wait at other clinics in Huelsta, but at this one, it was very quick, which I liked. I didn't have to wait long to see either the assistant or the doctor. The only thing I didn't like was that she didn't give me many instructions, and I had to go back to ask. And in the end, a little more enthusiasm, just from the nurse, more instructions, right? And a little more attention, because it's a child; they should be a little more empathetic with children, just a little. I mean, they weren't rude, no, no, it's just that they need a little more connection with the children. But that's how it is, I tell myself, and I wait for him to take his medication first. What I loved was that there were no waits.

I was very disappointed in my first visit to this facility. I had a scheduled 6:15, I guess, appointment or registration. I sat in the lobby a little over an hour before I saw the provider. There were other people that would walk in, that were seen before I was. I was very disappointed. So by the time I went in to see the provider, I really had a bad attitude. So in all fairness to the provider, I wasn't at my best. I was very angry and agitated. Well, I should say very agitated at my wait. So, and then the facility had closed by time, pretty much by the time I saw the provider. So first time at this facility, not a good experience, would not attend again.

Excellent customer service from the whole team. Nurse practitioner was outstanding. She listened to my concerns/symptoms and came up with a mutually agreed treatment plan which I believe will help me with my healthcare. She is excellent and definitely an asset to Wellstar Urgent Care. I will definitely come back for my urgent care needs.

Arrived to my appointment on time but waited almost an hour for the provider to see me. I asked twice when was I going to see the provider and barely got an answer. When I went to the bathroom I see that the provider I eventually saw was sitting at a computer. I didn't appreciate waiting that long at seemingly not so busy office, and for a short interaction and assessment from the provider.

The front office staff person was very kind and friendly as was the nursing staff person you took my initial information. The nurse practioner was kind and listened carefully to what my concerns were regarding my extreme shoulder pain.

I was very disappointed in my first visit to this facility. I had a scheduled 6:15, I guess, appointment or registration. I sat in the lobby a little over an hour before I saw the provider. There were other people that would walk in, that were seen before I was. I was very disappointed. So by the time I went in to see the provider, I really had a bad attitude. So in all fairness to the provider, I wasn't at my best. I was very angry and agitated. Well, I should say very agitated at my wait. So, and then the facility had closed by time, pretty much by the time I saw the provider. So first time at this facility, not a good experience, would not attend again.

The wait time was very good; I even scheduled an appointment, and I didn't have to wait right away. On other occasions, I've had to wait at other clinics in Huelsta, but at this one, it was very quick, which I liked. I didn't have to wait long to see either the assistant or the doctor. The only thing I didn't like was that she didn't give me many instructions, and I had to go back to ask. And in the end, a little more enthusiasm, just from the nurse, more instructions, right? And a little more attention, because it's a child; they should be a little more empathetic with children, just a little. I mean, they weren't rude, no, no, it's just that they need a little more connection with the children. But that's how it is, I tell myself, and I wait for him to take his medication first. What I loved was that there were no waits.
