We have seen Dr. Thornton more than one time at your urgent care facility and he is always an attentive and caring doctor and we really appreciate the availability that he has to see our family when we have things occur that are after hours and I want to thank him and his staff for always being so kind and caring to us.

The front office staff lady was very nice, friendly, helpful, quick to address at getting you in. I was seen quickly, the tech, who took my blood pressure and temperature and oxygen saturation rate, talked to me about my problems was great, did a great job, kindly, caring. And the doctor was awesome. Dr. Thornton was very thorough, listened to me very carefully, answered all my questions, was concerned, kind, and just like I said, just covered everything, went over everything, and actually provided me more information on what was going on with me and talking to me about my health concerns and my health. So the whole staff, everybody did a great job and brought me in barely and saw me quickly. And thank you so much for joining us.

See, doctor there, I had an eye infection, but it turned out not to be pink eye, and he actually found me an eye specialist to go to, and he gave a referral, which I've been looking for for a long time. I was very, very happy with him. Thank you.
