I usually use this office. It took the nurse 2 times to do xray then I hear her and the dr talking about how she can’t get it right. He comes in and says it’s clear have a nice day. I wait all weekend. Monday morning roles around and I get a call that the radiologist can’t read it!!! That’s bull! I end up in the er with a partially collapsed lung! You all are looking at a lawsuit for this!

My doctor is out of office. I called asking if they do a mycotoxin test. The receptionist said yes which I was kind of surprised on how easy it was. I get there tell my symptoms to the PA Jason C. It was the worst experience I have ever had with a health care professional! He told me I shouldn’t be coming to them for this. I said well that’s why I called your front desk and asked questions before I drove 40 minutes here. He said ya they tell us to say yes to everything. So they tell me they can help me. Then I get with the doctor and he verbally belittles me. He was so rude! He said now you know you go to Jiffy lube for an oil exchange right? Why would you come here for this? After about 5 minutes of him talking down to me I told him I didn’t appreciate how he was talking to me. His voice changed and said I’m trying to help you. I said no, no you’re not and walked out. I’m still trying to get my money back for that visit.  I am very hurt and mad!

Samantha Magby is by far the best urgent care provider in town, inspiring trust with her attentive, thorough, and empathetic approach, taking the time to truly listen and effectively communicate the best courses of action to resolve my daughter's issue, a true role model! Erin's warm welcome at the front desk, offering my children drinks, and Misty's outstanding support rooming my daughter, only add to the exceptional care provided.
