I was given another patients imaging order. The provider didn't take the time to look at my record to see that I had previously been in for similar issues and kept telling me it was the flu but didn't test to know for sure just sent me for an X-ray. Didn't listen to what I was explaining. The med that was prescribed I ended up having a reaction to

This doctor and the staff were wonderful. I really, really was in a lot of pain and they just worked to really get me feeling better. I was able to bounce back and he clearly explained to me what to do if I left and I wasn't any better, but he got me feeling better. Really great, great care all around.

The minute I walked on the door the. Registration staff was friendly, quick and knowledgeable. But my wait time was very short in the waiting room.

Yes, I returned to the express care today and the swelling in my toe has not gone down and I was told that it was probably misdiagnosed and I should stop using the medicine I was given and they prescribed a different medicine.

The facility was nice, organized, and efficient helping many people kindly and respectfully at reception. Asked great questions at reception to expedite help. Quick wait time even though there were a good amount of people looking for help. Nurse kind and helpful. PA shown a lot of knowledge, with great speed and articulation.
