I was referred to the clinic by my family.  They were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. I am happy to have this clinic so close to home. Staff was very helpful.

My main problem was I told them all the medication that I was on & they gave me prescription for a medication that I shouldn't take with my medicines. So it seems like doctor didn't read my chart & wasnt paying attention to what I could actually take. But CVS said that they are supposed to verify my medications & that if there's a problem with the medication then CVS is supposed to catch it. Well they never caught it either. The COVID medicine that I was supposed to get wasn't ready so I went back the next day & the pharmacist told me that I was supposed to get the COVID medicine on the same day that it was prescribed because I was supposed to take it the same day. But it turns out that the doctor prescribed a COVID medicine that cost $1000 & the pharmacist said that the doctor prescribed the wrong Covid medication. She was supposed to prescribe a different COVID medicine. So if you go to Immediate Care on Hickory Lane by Walmart then you need to make sure that they do their job.

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The place was clean and tidy. They even called the next day to check on our furry friend. I would definitely recommend taking your furry animals here.

Friendly Staff

Everyone took very good care of myself and my family. I have to say I watched other patients and their children destroy everything in their path but the bathroom was the worst the water was left running dirty diaper on the floor and toilet paper and paper towel were just thrown every where. We wonder why it cost more to go see a doctor in today's time. I can only imagine what the room looked like after their visit

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
