I would have preferred to have my radiologist reading print out, which the doctor said they do everything electronically, which is not true because he gave me paperwork with my diagnosis, where to go to a foot and ankle specialist. So I don't think it's feasible to have to do a MyChart just to get a radiologist report. I prefer that since it was read while I was there by a radiologist, the x-ray, I should have got my report at that time. Secondly, when the nurse took my temperature, looked like she took a temperature thing out of a box to insert, but after that, I don't remember what happened. I don't know if it was new, if it should have been covered before it was put in my mouth, or how that works.

I have not gotten the test results of the urine culture. The results are not in mychart nor have I been contacted. Those reports are crucial because that's the way I know what the appropriate antibiotic should be.

This was a decent visit. We say in the waiting in area for at least 35-40mins. but once we were in the back, we were taken care of right away.

I love this facility! The waiting room & examination rooms are always neat & clean. I've been there several times, for various reasons & everyone that I've interacted with has always been friendly, helpful, very personable, professional and kind. It's very easy to get appointments here & even with the times that I've been a walk-patient, I've always been seen quickly. Thank you, everyone!

We're VERY Glad to have this Urgent Care in our neighborhood, however, would appreciate having a MEDICAL DOCTOR on site at some point. Why are there No medical doctors assigned to this facility in SE Atlanta? We just don't understand why there are never MD's here. The PA's are thorough and helpful and glad they are aboard and appreciate the good quality PA's we've had for the past 3 years.

The staff was great from the receptionist to the doctor and the other nurses and providers.. my only concern was that we had to wait an hour and 15 to 20 minutes because when I called we were not made aware of a lunch break and I missed my ride home which became a hassle but as far as my visit to the Urgent Care it was great all around excellent! Great staff..

The staff is courteous and great and professional. The wait is just entirely too long. I watched an infant child wait over an hour. I watched an elderly person wait over two hours. The wait is just too long and this location needs more support and process improvement.
