A friend of ours recommended Saint Thomas Urgent Care to us a few months ago. This is the 2nd time I’ve taken my kids here. Both times we’ve seen Amanda and both visits were exceptional! All staff were very kind, respectful & gave clear instructions. From the simple online checkin process of filling out everything in advance to being called back within 5min of arrival both times. No one likes going to the doctor, especially when they don’t feel well, but this location made the entire experience more pleasant. So for all of the reasons above, we will be back next time we’re ill. If you’re needing an urgent care clinic in the area, I highly recommend Saint Thomas!

I have been to 2 physical therapists then to 1st doctor in less than a week, with what I thought was a really bad vertigo spell, long story short 1st doctor wasn't concerned even though I pleaded that something was definitely wrong....Dr. Robert Jackson was total opposite! Starting with scheduling, the options were ENDLESS!! How convenient and easy it was to get appointment and very quickly and last minute!!!! As soon as I arrived, the office manager (for the life of me, I can't think of her name😔) greeted me very sincerely and got right to getting me checked in. Within a few minutes I had barely got in the chair to wait before McKenna's smiling face was greeting me ready to start vitals! She was very sweet and caring, listening intently! Took me to the room, and soon after Dr. Jackson came in...first impression very kind face and demeanor! Listened closely to every word of my symptom story which at this point was a weeks worth of episodes....he was very reassuring in a scary situation for me, he immediately did an exam then said he wanted to run all the test and get Started so we could get closer to finding an answer for the way I was feeling! All of my symptoms could be related to so many different things, and he wanted to cover everything....So the tests began immediately...urine, ekg, & blood work! How easy and convenient for a PCP, don't have to go all over town for multiple visits! They even gave me a blanket because I was rather chilly! We got finished with all the test and Dr. Jackson came back in and said he was gonna even try to help relieve or ease symptoms a little until we got blood work back!! Such a great experience and what an absolute pleasure it was meeting the staff! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jackson and his team at American Family Care...I live in a small town with tons of Dr.s in-between but it is worth the little extra drive for me to have a good doctor! I will return!!
