This is my favorite place to get quick medical attention for myself and four children. The check in online is fast and easy to use. They give a time and I have never waited for a room upon arrival. The facility is clean and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Any tests or cultures we have had to have done have came back in a fast timely manner. In and out which is what a busy mom needs!
