This place should be shut down and bulldozed into the ground and the site should be salted so nothing could ever grow here. And everyone who works here should become homeless. When you have to post signs telling people not to be violent with your employees that should say a lot about your service.

I have never been so badly treated I. A Healthcare facility before in my life! I followed their instructions to register online before I could even enter the building. I stated that I had no covid symptoms and was allowed to wait in the lobby. I waited over 2 hours watching people get called in that came well after me. When I asked why I was still waiting I was rudely spoken to by a pregnant medical employee that told me I could continue to wait in the lobby or in my car.....

Even though I have a primary care doctor I prefer Med Express. I've been here 4 or 5 times and always in and out in an hour or less with no appointment. My primary isn't that fast. The staff is great, the providers are excellent and they are very careful about keeping things sanitary and safe.

We are new to the area and had a very sick child suddenly this morning. I called when we arrived and I was informed it would be about 1.5 hour wait (this is an average wait I was told - so we were prepared to do so), but upon answering some questions about my child’s current condition, they found it best to bring us in right away to access him first hand. It was found he was urgent enough to be placed in a room and treated. All of the staff was wonderful, caring and compassionate. They were very attentive and as gentle as they could be with all the testing that needed to be done. I feel badly about all the negative reviews here for the clinic. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again in the future.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

At this time, MedExpress cannot complete requests for blood work from a non-MedExpress provider. However, if a MedExpress provider needs labs or blood work to help confirm your diagnosis, we can do labs on site and send blood work and cultures to our partners so you can get answers sooner.

So I’ve had a Uti for the past week, and it’s been uncomfortable and painful, I’m only 14 and I have had many Utis. I believe that I have a yeast infection too. Can I get prescriptions for these issues?

Bunny | Nov 9, 2021
Rose McGuire | Nov 9, 2021

I went in for a UTI a couple weeks ago, same place. They did get me antibiotics. So I can almost guarantee it for the UTI, not sure about the yeast infection. Worst case scenario, you can hit a walmart, publix or drugstore and grab some monostat, for the yeast infection. You can also pick up some AZO's in or near the same aisle. AZOs only offer temp relief. They dont always completely eliminate a UTI, but they're lifesavers!

What types of COVID-19 testing does MedExpress offer?

MedExpress Urgent Care | Sep 5, 2021
MedExpress Urgent Care | Sep 5, 2021

MedExpress is offering COVID-19 evaluations and testing at designated centers to help support our local communities' health care needs amid the pandemic. In order to ensure individuals receive the highest-quality care and treatment, all individuals seeking care at MedExpress for known or suspected COVID-19 cases will receive an examination by a MedExpress health care professional who will determine if testing is needed and which testing method may be most appropriate, including rapid antigen and laboratory send-out PCR COVID-19 testing. Please note that for the most accurate COVID-19 test results, the CDC and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recommend that individuals who are not showing symptoms, but who have had close contact with an individual who has tested positively for COVID-19, wait five to seven days after the known exposure to get a COVID-19 test. Additionally, the CDC and AAFP recommend self-quarantining for 14 days after a known exposure to COVID-19, even if no symptoms are present.
