Only had to wait a couple of minutes. A chest x-ray was necessary, so had to go to another building for that. Had to wait longer for the x-ray. A prescription was called in and that was picked up in a couple of hours. Everyone there rated a 5 star.

This is is quick and decent place to get urgent care as opposed to the wait at the health center on broad st..I was thrilled when I found this place!!I didn't know it existed for so long. My wait time was next to nothing on all of my trips here (and my daughter's). The front desk, the nurses and the doctors and pa's we're all friendly, professional, prompt , kind, and compassionate especially when it came to having to deal with my daughter. I've been back several times due to the ease of use of the facility and the welcoming vibe. I hope others that have had good experiences at this office post a rating and share their experience here.
