I went to this urgent care after I cut my left index finger with a hedge trimmer. Wait time was good and the doctor did a great job stitching up my finger.

I can’t believe how wonderful the staff was here. My son had an acute lung injury and they called over the X-ray tech from another location who arrived within 15 minutes, they acted quickly and gave him a medication he needed right there in the office and a breathing treatment. Everyone from the front desk, the nurse and PA were all amazing. They saw brought us right back to a room and the whole visit lasted under an hour. If I had gone to the ED, we would still be out in a chair waiting. They even sent us home with a nebulizer machine to help keep him out of the hospital. Blown away by this terrific experience. Thanks again everyone, you were great! So thankful!
