Except for over an hour wait for a scheduled appointment, everything was great.

Thank you. I would recommend Wellstar if the person did not have or needed a new provider.

10/10 experience. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth, professional, and welcoming. The staff was kind, attentive, and made me feel genuinely cared for. The provider took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed. The facility was clean, organized, and efficient. This is exactly how healthcare should feel. I will definitely return to Wellstar Hospital and confidently recommend it to others.

All the staff that I encountered were exceptionally nice and very caring. So, yeah, they made my painful experience a good one, a very pleasant one because of just the way they were. Just very, very kind and very professional. I can't say more good things about them. They were just wonderful, including the doctors when they did come in. And there was a delay in meeting the first doctor. because there was just so many people there sick, so I understood. And he was very attentive when he did come in and all the other doctors that I met as well. Thank you.

I was not provided with an outcome or a description of what my problem was. The paperwork that I got later or after the visit did not tell me what the problem was. They did not identify the rash I had on my foot as to what it was. They said it was just a rash. But I got medication for it from the pharmacy.

December 24, 2025

The nurse was very excellent on this, seeing my son, but the nurse practitioner was really rushy, very, very rushy. Probably was out of the room. Maybe it was a lot of people there, but it was just really, really, really, really, really rushy. But the nurse did an excellent job, but the practitioner, it was very rushed. I can say maybe probably under five minutes. So it just was really, really rushy. I'm not, I like to either, even though if you have a lot of people there and it's back to back, still kind of have a little time to say, hey, blah, blah, blah. But it was really, really, really rushy. Very, very, very, very rushy. But the nurse, the regular nurse did an excellent job, but the nurse practitioner, it was kind of a rush. Like I said, it probably was under five minutes. It was really, really quick.

I understand that many people are sick but what's the point of having an urge care if you have to go in to be told to make an appointment for several hours later when you're not feeling well. And there's no one in the waiting room at all. And then when you do make the appointment to come in and still have to wait in the waiting room for 15 minutes to be seen in the back. The intake nurse was very nice and concerned but the nurse practitioner that saw me was very nonchalant and she did not check on all the problems that was listed by the intake nurse. That was very disappointing.

I paid for service, after determine I was dehydrated treatment at that facility was no available. I was told I've fluids is not available at that facility. There for I had the go to another facility and pay the the same service again just to get the proper treatment for my urgent condition. I would be nice provided IV fluids at your facility

December 9, 2025

I did not appreciate having security called on me like I was a threat. I was and still am sick. Understanding and patience should have been at the for front of the interaction with the front desk staff. She allowed a previous experience, unrelated to me, to affect her interaction with me. I truly do not understand the point of checking in on my chart if I have to be asked the same questions in-person. Ask my name and date of birth to confirm who I am and then follow what the computer shows. She could have stated my address (others have). She was being an ass because she was already feeling some kind of way when I arrived. NOT MY FAULT!!!!!

They had no concern for patient they just wanted to go home prescribe med that patient couldnt afford over $1000. I was an inconvenience to them

There for I had the go to another facility and pay the the same service again just to get the proper treatment for my urgent condition. I would be nice provided IV fluids at your facility

I did not appreciate having security called on me like I was a threat. I was and still am sick. Understanding and patience should have been at the for front of the interaction with the front desk staff. She allowed a previous experience, unrelated to me, to affect her interaction with me. I truly do not understand the point of checking in on my chart if I have to be asked the same questions in-person. Ask my name and date of birth to confirm who I am and then follow what the computer shows. She could have stated my address (others have). She was being an ass because she was already feeling some kind of way when I arrived. NOT MY FAULT!!!!!

My primary reason for coming to this urgent care was not addressed. I was given a prescription for a secondary issue. I had to go to the emergency room after being discharged from this urgent care because they did not treat my primary concern.

I'd like to say that the expedient care that I was received, my appointment was at 2:20 and I was leaving the facility with x-rays completed by 3:45. That was great time.

I understand that many people are sick but what's the point of having an urge care if you have to go in to be told to make an appointment for several hours later when you're not feeling well. And there's no one in the waiting room at all. And then when you do make the appointment to come in and still have to wait in the waiting room for 15 minutes to be seen in the back. The intake nurse was very nice and concerned but the nurse practitioner that saw me was very nonchalant and she did not check on all the problems that was listed by the intake nurse. That was very disappointing.

The nurse was very excellent on this, seeing my son, but the nurse practitioner was really rushy, very, very rushy. Probably was out of the room. Maybe it was a lot of people there, but it was just really, really, really, really, really rushy. But the nurse did an excellent job, but the practitioner, it was very rushed. I can say maybe probably under five minutes. So it just was really, really rushy. I'm not, I like to either, even though if you have a lot of people there and it's back to back, still kind of have a little time to say, hey, blah, blah, blah. But it was really, really, really rushy. Very, very, very, very rushy. But the nurse, the regular nurse did an excellent job, but the nurse practitioner, it was kind of a rush. Like I said, it probably was under five minutes. It was really, really quick.

I was not provided with an outcome or a description of what my problem was. The paperwork that I got later or after the visit did not tell me what the problem was. They did not identify the rash I had on my foot as to what it was. They said it was just a rash. But I got medication for it from the pharmacy.

All the staff that I encountered were exceptionally nice and very caring. So, yeah, they made my painful experience a good one, a very pleasant one because of just the way they were. Just very, very kind and very professional. I can't say more good things about them. They were just wonderful, including the doctors when they did come in. And there was a delay in meeting the first doctor. because there was just so many people there sick, so I understood. And he was very attentive when he did come in and all the other doctors that I met as well. Thank you.

10/10 experience. From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth, professional, and welcoming. The staff was kind, attentive, and made me feel genuinely cared for. The provider took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed. The facility was clean, organized, and efficient. This is exactly how healthcare should feel. I will definitely return to Wellstar Hospital and confidently recommend it to others.

Except for over an hour wait for a scheduled appointment, everything was great.
