I was a walk-in patient on a Thursday morning 11/17/2022. Everyone that I contacted during my visit treated me with respect and urgency. I walked in with extreme back pain caused by a fall. The team determined that I fractured a rib and provided treatment.

I took my daughter in for an urgent mater, I was instantly greeted at the front door asking me if I had a schedule apportionment, I said no, and she redirected me to the walk-in section where I was asked to schedule her following checkup. As soon as she was done, we were called back. The clinic is bigger cleaner and just an overall upgrade. Thank you!!
