My experience today (10-18) was perfectly fine and acceptable. From the time I arrived at the CVS Location to the time I obtained my Flu Shot and drove away - 15 minutes out of my day. I had no issues. Of course: I followed the directions. I arrived to the Store 10 minutes in advance; I was alert for text messages - which I received regarding status; I waited for and received my phone call from the NP; a CVS Customer Care Manager was there to walk me through the check-in procedures. I used my Insurance Card. I had no issues and was in and out with a Flu Shot in less than 10 minutes. No complaints; I appreciate the professionalism.

I have gone to Dr. Christie for many years. Dr. Christie is a wonderful doctor. He excels as a diagnostician. He really cares about his patients and gives them the best possible service. Because of this, sometimes the waits in the waiting room can be long. He is the only Dr. I know of who also takes walk-ins because he knows life happens. Everyone I have referred to him loves him, as do I.

Had an accident and lip was split open, it was really bad. It was late they were about to close soon but they took me in put stitches in and then the same nurse called me 2-3 days later to make sure I was doing ok because she was thinking about me and wanted to make sure I was doing ok. That meant so much to me and now a year or so later you can barely see the scar. I don't think anyone could have done better. She said she did the stitches as she would've done it on her child. I really can't explain how great the care is there in words but there good people.
