The scheduling of appointments is really easy and I like how it’s contactless. The girl in the front is always a pleasure and very professional. I enjoyed chatting with nurse Nakita as she check my vitals. Get her some comfortable shoes level up! The Dr that tended to me was really nice, understanding and very supportive. She pointed out my blood pressure levels and I have been paying more attention to my diet and stress since. This visit was a breeze.

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 Quest Lab Testing 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.

Clean and professional medical office. Courteous and friendly staff. Fast processing. Dr. Veronica Taversky is fantastic. I have seen her numerous times for stitches, diagnoses of infections and prescription medication. She is professional and highly knowledgeable. She had a great bedside manner and will take her time to listen. She is very caring. I am very confident in this urgent care facility.
