I called for a same day appointment for a rapid covid test. They were able to accommodate me and get me in right away, and no other urgent care could. The provider was kind, knowledgeable, and professional. The medical assistant who did my covid test talked me through the process and did a great job...I barely felt any discomfort. I would highly recommend.

Trusted care!
