They referred me to the emergency room for additional testing. They did the testing that the Dr at clinic suggested. I was admitted with several things including Cdiff.

The nurse didn't even weigh me when I came in. She asked how much I weighed and I told I have absolutely, no idea. So she said to guess. The receptionist was very nice. The doctor/practitioner was also very nice.

So our experience at the urgent care was flawless. My three-year-old received quality, compassionate care, and when he was scared during the physician's examination, the physician started with the characters on his shirt, looking at their eyes and ears and telling them to say ah, and explained everything he was going to do before he did it for my son, which made him much more excited about the exam, and then went home wanting to play doctor. So I really appreciate the kind, compassionate care and really taking the extra time to make my toddler feel comfortable.
