Staff wore gloves at all times. Did not see them wash & dry hands before entering the room i was in. Receptionist was not knowledgeable in questions that I asked her such as was there a number i could call to have my records straighten out. She was hesitant to say. Was told to look on app.

I love going to this urgent care cause its close to me. I think everything was great except the long wait when they put you in the room for an hour without an explanation

August 27, 2025

3

Sooooo attentive

August 14, 2025

4

I had a 12:40 appointment but didn't see the provider until 3:15. Why make appointment if you gonna sit for hours to be seen only stayed because I was feeling bad and didn't want to drive to the hospital.

August 6, 2025

The wait times are extremely long

August 6, 2025

5

The woman at the front office behind the desk was rude, extremely disrespectful, and unprofessional. She talked on the phone loudly the entire time to a personal friend. I this was the case because she was discussing a bad date and losing her car insurance. She never greeted me or even made eye contact during my 45 min wait. I checked in and did everything thru the app. She should 100% BE FIRED!!!!

July 31, 2025

5

I was provided exceptional customer service from the front desk to the back office the physician was very kind and professional

July 31, 2025

4

Since I have been discharged I have been calling back to the urgent care as one of my medications was missing that I asked for and I have yet to get anyone on the phone nor does it give you the option to leave a message. I should not have to come back up there to get this resolved and I am ill. If no one is going to answer then I should at least be able leave a message. This is what is making my experience not so great to have to drive back up there to get something done.

July 28, 2025

My visit was very important under the way I was feeling at the moment hopefully that the X-ray is good that all is well with me.

It took too long to sign- in at the Kiosh. It would be helpful if we had some portable devices.

The receptionist was not rude, but she was nowhere and near nice.

May 29, 2025

All the staff in the back, including the doctor and the doctor's assistant, were great. But the front staff was cold, unhelpful, and uninformative as far as when I first came to your urgent care clinic. Your front desk staff needs to be fully evaluated for courtesy as far as helpfulness and everything else. Thanks. Bye.
