I was in and out within 5 minutes, and that is the highest benefit for me. The only issue I have is that the web site for Sun Labs does not reflect the new address for this particular facility that has recently moved.

Overall I had a decent experience here. The people are awesome except that one guy at check-in. I owe a lot to these doctors sending me on referral. I have been to the County Hospital in San Bernardino in the past and i have waited hours to be seen...(so, maybe my standards are different). It took approximately an hour in Urgent Care. Not terrible.
