Dr. Andrew Thornton was amazing! He took his time, listened, asked questions, explained things and most importantly showed care and compassion.

August 13, 2025

5

So helpful since our primary is mostly already booked when we wake up sick!!!

August 11, 2025

5

Great team, efficient process, executed very well. I haven't ever had a bad experience at this location!

August 8, 2025

5

It was a great experience under the conditions that we were there. The doctor and Tina, our nurse, was wonderful. She is amazing, and he was very good with explaining everything to us. We would recommend to our friends.

August 8, 2025

5

Everybody that I dealt with from the front desk to the nurses to the doctor we're very kind, very sympathetic, had a lot of empathy. They were absolutely all terrific. thank you for the excellent care.

August 7, 2025

5

Great staff at this location. Sixes Road Urgent Care is now my go-to place for care. Far better than Towne Lake Parkway location. Nicole, a great receptionist. Impressed by Dr Thorton's sewing skills.

August 7, 2025

5

Nicole Sterling and Katrina were kind and got me quickly to the back (nausea). One of the patients checking in was having difficulty with the kiosk but they were able to to move things along kindly. Dr Thornton, Kate and Bryan were great as well.

August 6, 2025

5

Three people that were outstanding and made me click on 10's. Dr. Thornton (sp) was wonderful and really listened to me. RN, RYAN and CNA, KATRINA were outstanding!!!! If I have to come back again, I really hope I'm lucky enough to get these three people who are REALLY good at their job. Thanks!

August 6, 2025

5

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.

August 6, 2025

Caring staff and providers very efficient and professional.

Dr Thornton was amazing we communicated he listened we talked about tests and options etc however I'm not doing any better and I am now bleeding instead of tinted paper ...it's not getting better but slowly progressing ...still can't see the obgyn till the 14th...

July 30, 2025

5

We love the staff and medical providers at this urgent care. They truly care and remember previous visits. A family Dr if you cannot get into your pcp.

July 30, 2025

5

My husband and I were both actually hoping to get a survey because we were so impressed about the entire experience, But that wasn't all as I also received a follow up call today to make sure I was doing okay and see if I had any questions.

July 30, 2025

5

Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, from the front desk to the nurse and physician who took care of me! 10/10 Stellar experience. Thank you all!

July 27, 2025

5

DR. was extremely helpful and walked me through all of the particulars of my injury. Wait time was minimal and i was in and out of there very quickly.

July 25, 2025

5

Dr. Thornton always takes great care of me, pays attention, and genuinely listens to each problem!

July 23, 2025

5

The nurse was indifferent from start to finish and didn't ever come in to start the breathing machine - the doctor had to do it. She never came back to check on me and was eating behind the counter when I was leaving. She was a poor example of wellstars standards and make it clear she didn't care about you or being there. The doctor was awesome and so was the front staff.

July 23, 2025

5

Highly satisfied after 3 visits. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

July 23, 2025

5

The nurse was kind and efficient. The doctor was very nice, explained things. I do wish he had given me something for the pinkeye, but I didn't ask.

July 17, 2025

5

Nurses and Dr were great. They both listened and addressed my issue

July 16, 2025

This was a very good visit. I've seen my PCP about the same problem and I'm glad to get an antibiotic that will work well.

July 12, 2025

5

The site is convenient and the medical healthcare staff was thoughtful and knowledgeable. Everything was explained and reinforced with what do do "if" something went awry. I appreciated the caring and professionalism of the doctors, nurses, and admission staff.

July 11, 2025

5

I enjoyed my visit with Dr Thornton. He was kind and knowledgeable

July 11, 2025

5

First time at this clinic. I was very impressed with the whole experience and staff. Considering I was probably the last appointment of the day close to 10pm the dr was very nice, patient, professional and knowledgeable

July 11, 2025

4

I went in crying and I came out feeling better because the doctor was able to pinpoint exactly where my pain was coming from and was able to help me.

July 12, 2025

5

Please make a note in the file that I did not pick up the antibiotic because a pharmacy alert showed that the prescription has elements of penicillin, which I am allergic to and causes hives in all its derivatives.

July 9, 2025

Dr. Thornton and his nurse Brittany (I think that was her name) were very nice, courteous and thorough.

First time at this clinic. I was very impressed with the whole experience and staff. Considering I was probably the last appointment of the day close to 10pm the dr was very nice, patient, professional and knowledgeable

Please make a note in the file that I did not pick up the antibiotic because a pharmacy alert showed that the prescription has elements of penicillin, which I am allergic to and causes hives in all its derivatives.

Dr. Thornton and his nurse Brittany (I think that was her name) were very nice, courteous and thorough.

The site is convenient and the medical healthcare staff was thoughtful and knowledgeable. Everything was explained and reinforced with what do do "if" something went awry. I appreciated the caring and professionalism of the doctors, nurses, and admission staff.

This was a very good visit. I've seen my PCP about the same problem and I'm glad to get an antibiotic that will work well.

I went in crying and I came out feeling better because the doctor was able to pinpoint exactly where my pain was coming from and was able to help me.

This couldn't be a better place to get the urgent help that you need. They are very concerned and through in their exams to give the help you need.

The nurse was kind and efficient. The doctor was very nice, explained things. I do wish he had given me something for the pinkeye, but I didn't ask.

Dr. Thornton always takes great care of me, pays attention, and genuinely listens to each problem!

The nurse was indifferent from start to finish and didn't ever come in to start the breathing machine - the doctor had to do it. She never came back to check on me and was eating behind the counter when I was leaving. She was a poor example of wellstars standards and make it clear she didn't care about you or being there. The doctor was awesome and so was the front staff.

My husband and I were both actually hoping to get a survey because we were so impressed about the entire experience, But that wasn't all as I also received a follow up call today to make sure I was doing okay and see if I had any questions.

We love the staff and medical providers at this urgent care. They truly care and remember previous visits. A family Dr if you cannot get into your pcp.

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.

Nicole Sterling and Katrina were kind and got me quickly to the back (nausea). One of the patients checking in was having difficulty with the kiosk but they were able to to move things along kindly. Dr Thornton, Kate and Bryan were great as well.

Three people that were outstanding and made me click on 10's. Dr. Thornton (sp) was wonderful and really listened to me. RN, RYAN and CNA, KATRINA were outstanding!!!! If I have to come back again, I really hope I'm lucky enough to get these three people who are REALLY good at their job. Thanks!

Great staff at this location. Sixes Road Urgent Care is now my go-to place for care. Far better than Towne Lake Parkway location. Nicole, a great receptionist. Impressed by Dr Thorton's sewing skills.
