My daughter rolled her ankle yesterday, so we made an appt for the next day. They took us in quickly and were very friendly and accommodating. They had her x rayed and bandaged up and we were on our way. The dr was great also.

Went to bed with a slight toothache and woke up with a swollen face. Was able to schedule an appointment online for first thing in the morning. When I got there the staff was very nice, I was seen within 20 min. The Dr. was very nice, I was done within a half hour. My script was sent over to my pharmacy. I would definitely go again and recommend. Nice experience.

Just learned they preformed a pregnancy test on me without my knowledge or consent nor did they tell me the results of this test. I was made aware on my insurance EOB from them billing my insurance company for it. Absolutely unethical to be preforming tests without any knowledge or consent.
