I was able to make my appointment easily online. This is the second time I’ve gotten there and the Doctor and clinical staff were late. When this happens it’s understandable that they cannot let the patients into the waiting room. When I finally got into the waiting room, I still had to wait to be seen and I was the first and only patient there. I believe this is why they run behind schedule.

Returning from a drive from Florida, with a raging sore throat. Easy scheduling an appointment for the next morning. I was seen within a few minutes, test for flu, strep and Covid, came up positive for Covid. We quickly arranged for medication prescription and off I went. Dr. Santana was perfectly professional and attentive. I would go back in a heartbeat!

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.
