This clinic has an overall phenomenal atmosphere. The front desk staff are extremely professional and friendly and the providers are extremely dedicated to what they do. I also enjoy that they have extended walk-in hours, which many clinics in Hillsborough do not have. I feel privileged to come to Orange Family!

I usually hate having to go to the clinic and decided to try this new place. Amazing experience surprisingly! Filled in all my info when I booked my appointment online. So no paperwork work upon arrival, just checked in on a tablet. Waiting room was so cozy and lovely and got to see Paul who had such a great bedside manner. Was so quick, pleasant and seamless
