July 25, 2026
Everyone was kind and friendly and I had a good experience with everyone
July 20, 2026
Due to the complications of my spine and back, which was really injured after lifting a 50-pound suitcase, I should have had an MRI run, not just a CAT scan. It is now going to be necessary for me to go back and have an MRI run. This should have been done during my initial visit.
July 20, 2026
The care team listened to me and took care of my needs during this visit.
July 18, 2026
It was a very good visit with all the staff! Very friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend you to family and friends!
July 17, 2026
very professional and very helpful.
July 17, 2026
Better care than I get in my home state! Thank you!
July 17, 2026
Great provider. Couldn't have gotten better. She was knowledgeable and treated me efficiently and properly.
July 17, 2026
Exactly as an express care should be.
July 15, 2026
Everyone was very nice there and that makes a difference. And Chelsea, I can't remember her last name, but she was wonderful. She was very upbeat and made you feel very secure.
July 15, 2026
PA Brown is very knowledgeable and her main goal was hearing my issues and trying to fix what was wrong with me, not just plowing through me like other providers have done in the past.
July 07, 2026
How can I get the X-rays sent to my PC in Connecticut?
July 05, 2026
At the Gardiner site, my care has invariably been top-notch! Never rushed, quality listening and well worth my drive.
July 04, 2026
Always a pleasure
June 30, 2026
Chelsea believed that steri stripes would hold the wound together cause it had started to join just from my constant pressure on it. However, just daily use (while banaged) caused it to gape a bit & bleed sufficiently to cause the straps to let go that nite. We cleaned it, re-bandaged it, applied antibiotic ointment & crossed our fingers. Have been doing same daily since but the wound still games slightly when uncovered. Just is in area that is extremely flexed. Stitches might pull out if they had been used. Don't have any suggestions on what could have improved the situation. Thanks for listening to me.
June 20, 2026
The PA, Chelsea, was very personable and made me laugh with her humor. I appreciated this very much.
June 20, 2026
Ms. Brown was very nice as was the Ma (wish I could recall their name). I appreciate their kindness and upbeat spirit. I wish all med staff was as good.
June 17, 2026
As always, all staff members went out of their way to make my visit a positive one. I greatly appreciated Chelsea's care and expertise.
June 13, 2026
I was recommended to call my obgyn as soon as possible because I needed to get in for an exam my obgyn took a full work day to call me back and dismissed me because they claimed what was sent to them did not require me to be examined So it was just a little confusing
June 09, 2026
Very good service. Got my problem fixed quick. The front desk was nice and personable and overall a good service and a good visit. Thank you.
June 06, 2026
Chelsea was amazing. She went above and beyond her normal duties. She made sure to follow up with me as far as lab results on her day off and even called in a new prescription for me on her day off as well. So couldn't be more pleased with my experience with her and definitely she is highly recommended.
June 02, 2026
I went in for a puncture wound, told them i needed stitches (I work at MCH) everyone was in agreement. I waited an hourish to see a provider for her to tell me I didnt need stitches. Did not clean the wound, put glue IN it, and then on top of it. The glue was off the next morning. I ended up getting 3 stitches.
June 01, 2026

Very professional and didn't have to wait very long.
May 09, 2026
I went to express care for an animal bite to my hand that was showing signs of infection within 10-12 hours of being bitten. The staff out front was very knowledgeable and and personable. I also had a very short wait time and the young lady who took care of me was very friendly and knew exactly what I needed to help with the infection that was settling in. And prescribed me enough to take 2x's daily for a week. Within a day of getting the medication and taking my second dose it had already started working and reducing the pain and swelling. I'm going to finish the medicine as directed and I'm happy to say that I am feeling better. ?
May 05, 2026
Knowledgeable staff. Very thorough. Got the prescriptions I needed that were effective for my condition.
April 25, 2026
My experience with express care was outstanding starting with the nurse I talked to on the phone ...to the receptionist at the front desk... to the doctor who examined me who went out of her way to look at another concern I thought of while I was sitting there...and the grand finale was Alex...the man who called me after I left to give me the results of my x-ray. Simply one of the best choices/experiences I've had all year!
April 22, 2026
Yes, Chelsea Brown did an exceptional job. She set me up in confidence and clarity with some of the best doctors I've had in my lifetime. So I strongly recommend the organization and specifically Chelsea Brown and also the nurse that took the vitals before that. This was a very well-oiled, very well done diagnosis and I am getting better. At least South Chelsea, I'm doing much better. Thank you very much and have a good evening.
April 22, 2026
Prompt service. Extremely pleased.

January 17, 2026
Excellent all the way around!
January 15, 2026
I LOVED the provider I saw! Unfortunately, I can not remember her name. She was "real" and down to earth; just what I needed. She stated several things to earn credibility with me but did not go over the top. She is someone I would love to see on a regular basis.
January 11, 2026
She was responsive to my questions and understood my concerns.
January 11, 2026
Thank you to the professional staff and Chelsea Brown, PA for your efficient and caring manner.
January 07, 2026
Hi, I was just at the Express Care and had a great visit. I felt comfortable the whole time and normally I'm really nervous to go do walk-in stuff like that. She answered all of the questions I had and additional stuff as well.
January 01, 2026
I was lucky to hit a slow time. I was in and out. Cared for wonderfully, with Dr having time to even chat.
January 01, 2026

December 08, 2025
I was sent to the emergency room and the doctor there felt that I didn't need to be there. Can express care do blood work?
December 08, 2025
The nurse, and doctor was very concerned about what I was experiencing. The medication I was prescribed helped me greatly. I'm glad that they noticed the issue even though it could have been a few other things that could have been wrong with me. But, they guessed correctly thank goodness.
December 03, 2025
Wait times were short, everyone I came in contact with was professional, friendly, and helpful. I have always had positive experiences at express care and have recommended it to friends.... Thank you!
December 03, 2025
The student and provider I had during my visit were extremely wonderful.
December 01, 2025
Normally, I don't go to Express Care unless I absolutely feel like I need to, almost an emergency, because of the wait time. But this time I got there around 10 o'clock on I think it was a weekday and I had a 10 to 15 minute wait, 10 to 15 minute wait and the receptionist was very enjoyable to talk to.
November 22, 2025
I was not impressed with the dictated note because the provider stated that I was talking about significant financial stress that is not the stress I was discussing I was talking about the stress of my father passing. Furthermore, her note stated that she told me to seek my PCP within 3 to 5 days again that's not something that we spoke of so I really feel like the dictation was not a true representation of the visit.
November 14, 2025
Chelsea Brown was the best physicians assistant I have ever had anywhere and anytime. Plus we had the same birthday

I had to ask a lot of questions in order to get answers about his diagnosis. As a first time mother, in the future, I'd like to be given as much information as possible without needing to ask follow up questions.
