I was taken care of so well at this urgent care location that I literally told my friends and family. I would never go to another urgent care again. They showed concern care and sound medical guidance. Even the doctor sent me a message in my chart, wishing me well with the surgery that was recommended Based on my results at urgent care. I also received a call the following business day to follow up to ensure that I was taken care of. I hope the staff at this urgent care know how much I appreciate how I was treated.
