I have been looking for a PCP. Although there is a waiting list for that, I was seen and taken care of. I do not go to the doctor. I hate being sick. While I will not look forward to going to the doctor. I will not dread this at all.

Really appreciate my speedy service at Urgent Care on today because that sciatica nerve had me up all nite in a chair trying to get some relief. I couldn't take it any longer so off to urgent care and everyone was so concerned. The nurse who excorted me in was very patience with me and Dr. Eugene Baldwin is just so kind, so pleasant & caring when he talk with you. I am so happy to see he was still there servicing the people with kindness. Thank you for having him on Staff, I hope he stays on this side of Town.

I felt miserable when I walked in. The front receptionist was very nice but needed to remove mask when talking because it made her hard to understand. The Lab tech and doctor was very nice and very concerning about my feelings. I give the staff a 10. Thanks guy's

Unfamiliar with the options for Urgent Care, in the Cullman area, led me to visiting Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care, based on a trusted friend providing an excellent referral and personal recommendation, for myself, and my two kiddos, of whom have all experienced these unpleasant sickly germ infested symptoms, for going on 3 days…  Not only was the staff, beyond exceptional with personality, there was a flare for professionalism and informative conversation, from the very beginning, during a call to confirm insurances and scheduling nuances, but upon arrival, it was to be noted that, that this level of unmatched kindness and compassion and efficiency, was the standard of each and every interaction, of which we were so fortunate to be engaged with, throughout the entire process of our visit! Specifically, the clear and unambiguous nature of the initial vitals and assessments, with details and explanations for the plan of care, via labs and testing, following by, shared diagnostic information, with an appreciated dialogue and an inclusive approach of treatment, ensuring understanding and supportiveness!  I cannot recommend Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care, and the team of phenomenal support staff and medical providers, enough! Thank you, Huntsville Hospital Urgent Care team for the supportiveness of care and treatment, for myself kiddos and myself!

Central Urgent Care is a great facility. They have dedicated nurses, doctors and staff that take great care of you and make sure you have what you need as far as prescriptions before you leave. I highly recommend them to anyone for anything you need.
