I was having foot pain for over a week.  Got concerned and decided to have it checked out. Every staff member I came in contact with was absolutely amazing. Very polite and professional. I was quickly taken care of.  Came in with a little anxiety and left feeling sooo much better.  Thanks

I arrived 30 minutes before the clinic opened to be sure I would be first in line. I was first, and when I used the app to check in, it said I was first with no one in front of me. However, two patients were called back before me. When I asked about this, I was told one person had checked in faster (not true) and that the other person was only there for a drug screen. Isn’t that a violation of their health privacy rights?  Also, I asked for a specific medicine that I was not prescribed after all, even though the provider agreed when I requested it.  Overall, my visit took over an hour, which seems excessive considering I arrived thirty minutes before open time to ensure I would be first in line. This was frustrating—the other patients should not have been called back before I was, because I was there first and had been done with all my steps in the app for 20 minutes at that point.
