Got here at 2 pm, have been sitting in the room for an hour and it closes in 15 minutes. Nurse was extremely rude after trying to get an update on when I was able to be seen. For a place called urgent care, they weren't very urgent

I never have to wait for an appointment because it’s never busy. But I think I know why. The nursing staff is incredible nice and ask all the right questions. But the two times I’ve come to see the doctor they were both rude and condescending. The first time the doctor cut me off to mansplained to me the different between a virus and a bacteria infection. He also cut me off while I was explaining my symptoms saying that I need to let him speak first. The second time the attending doctor didn’t bother reading any of the notes that the nurse took. She didn’t even do a full exam. She claimed that I didn’t tell her that I used a rescue inhaler (I did, but I said it wasn’t working). She also claimed that the computer didn’t tell her what I was previously prescribed from the last visit (it did, because the nurse mentioned it). I guess it’s time to find a GP. God bless the nurses that need to deal with this kind of arrogance.

This review is for the urgent care. These medical professional deserve a great review! They were friendly and professional for a welcome change! While other medical offices are so paranoid and seem to have lost their will to practice medicine these folks were there for me in my time of need. Thanks again!

Went in there with shortness of breath and the doctor sent me to emergency room without even checking my lungs. Same doctor was also rude.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

I called to schedule my appointment for covit and flu testing. Being told that they are to busy. So covid test only ??

I couldnt get an appointment for either. What kind of world are we living in where no one can go to the doctor when theyre sick and workers in doctors offices are being forced to be vaccinated to work in offices where no one is aloud in to see the doctor?

Should I get a PCR test or a Rapid Antigen test?

Rapid antigen tests are most effective in people being tested at height of illness, when the virus’ presence in the body is highest. People with and without symptoms can get a PCR test to confirm their COVID-19 status. PCR tests are more accurate in detecting the virus in those without symptoms or those with symptoms who may not be at the peak of their illness.
