The provider was very friendly; she explained what medications she was prescribing and she told me to go to the ER if I wasn't better in 3 days. She was very helpful.

I greatly appreciate the fact that I didn't have to wait long to be seen. Everyone was very friendly. I was able to get my issue resolved without having to wait for an appt with my PCP. This was very convenient.

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.

We had made an appointment the night before. We arrived approximately 10 minutes before the appointment time within 5 minutes of sitting, We were brought back to an exam room. Fabulous "wait time" and our needs were met promptly and we were back home within the hour! Thank you for making this a quick and productive experience!! We will return!

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. The treatment plan she suggested along with the medications prescribed have been very helpful and I am feeling much better.

I know it is a brand new facility but I told the nurse I have never been seen so quickly I even suggested if they had a full time doctor on staff at all times I might move my family over there because we never get to see our doctors that we have been with for many many years and I think it is a shame when doctors forget there patients that stuck with them and they somewhat abandoned us!

Friendly and professional except for the receptionist who was cold toward me and tried talking me into going to the ER because they don't do xrays after asking why i was there. I said I would like to see the dr there anyway. Then she let 2 people ahead of me causing me to wait over an hour to be seen. The dr had me xrayed there, so I dont know why the receptionist said that or had an attitude.
