When checking in, I had to use the pad, which they already had all my information. Too much to go through when it should be the front desk person that should be going through that. Never have to be going through this.Waiting time was terrible. Waited in waiting for sometime. And then when finally in the room I waited for sometime. I was only there for a follow up for my blood pressure. The staff was caring.

I had chest congestion really bad for approximately 2 weeks and was tired of dealing with it so I stopped in this place and there was no wait. The staff was awesome and Amy took really good care of me. It's been 2 days since the visit and I'm almost back to 100%.

Been fighting sinus crud for over a week and was having vertigo and had headaches. Scheduled online on my way there. Was in and out in 30 minutes. Everyone is so nice and respectful. There are a lot of walk in clinics around and I’ve been to many of them. I live in White House and will always drive to Hendersonville for this clinic when I need to. I always have a great experience here. Thank you!
