This Urgent Care facility is the best! Their medical staff is friendly, very caring, and truly concerned with your health and well-being. I want to thank Dr. Zandifar for his expertise in stitching me up and for lifting my spirits with his jokes. I really needed that. A special thanks C. Williams, MA and Lewis for the care they took in getting me signed in and making me comfortable during my visit. This is not my first visit and definitely won’t be the last. This team truly demonstrates the meaning of exceptional care. I highly recommend them for your health or urgent care needs. Cassandra Barton

Had to take my son (figured safer and faster than ER) playing with other kids and a kid threw a clump of dirt that had a rock in it. Had a laceration and a tiny hole. Dr. was so awesome! Cleaned it up, topical numbing and two staples. Appointment was at 5:50 and out by 6:30.
