We don't need to go to urgent care very often but are always very satisfied with this Wellstar Urgent Care.

I was given discharge papers that contained zero relevant information. I never did see the doctor on call, just the nurse and the intern. The discharge papers contained no information about what was wrong , nothing about what to do, just updated with 2 additional medications and the phrase "chest pain-unspecified type". The MyChart information has not been updated. There is no information there either. I called this morning and spoke to someone who assured me that someone else would be in touch to update me with some information. Guess what? It is currently 6:50 PM and no one has called me to update me. This visit cost me $75 for nothing!!!! I still don't know what is going on. I'm now very disappointed in the urgent care at Acworth Heath park.

I felt that I was in the right place for what I didn't even realize I was in need of and so I am grateful for all employees from the front desk to the X-ray tech. Thank you all very much!

You ask the question about wait time--I really can't judge that becouse they were very busy and doing the best they could. Ever one was nice, polite, carring. Very pleased with everyone. The doctor that saw me was very concerned and cared very much about me. Something you don't find much of. Most run you thru like cattle. I appreciate ever one from front desk to the x-ray team to the doctor. Very thankful to them all God bless and keep up the good work!!

This was the best experience I've had with Wellstar. I love the idea that you could sign in and make the appointment online. From the time I checked in at the front desk, things started moving, there was a text sent to me letting me know someone would be coming out to get me in a few minutes, which they did. The staff was amazing. They really listened to what I had to say and the doctor made sure that I was breathing better before I even left. The x-ray technician iwas very sweet and tentative. I hesitated in even going to urgent care, but since I was feeling so bad, I went ahead and made an appointment. I'm very glad I did. I am already starting to feel better. If I had to go to an urgent care, this would definitely be the one that I would go to. Much thanks to everybody.
