I came in one day without an appoint and waited two hours as a walk-in before I had to leave without being tested. I made an appointment through Labcorp for the next day, showed up on time, got tested easily and was on my way in 15-20 minutes. Staff is friendly and helpful.

This is my go to walk-in clinic and I’ve always been treated very well here. I’m surprised that someone would write this lower because they’ve always been top notch in my opinion.
