It was a wonderful experience from front office to nurse to doctor. Dr Keller had a great bedside manner and really listened to my issues. I will definitely share my experience with others and make sure all my kids stop using a different clinic and start using Fast Aid Urgent Care. And the icing on the cake is it’s owned by a Veteran. Thank you for your service, devotion and sacrifice!

Not sure about all the low marks. My wife and i have experienced wonderful care from Dr. Bienik and the staff have been wonderful. I have recommended this clinic to several of my friends and they were delighted with their experience as well. If you don't have a doctor, I highly recommend you try these fine folks.
