Severe sore throat and many other symptoms. Could have just stopped with the tests the nurse did. Didn’t learn anything from the PA Kimberly other than how to say ahhhh (tongue depressor) correctly. And that you can not fix a virus which I already knew. Pretty much a waste of money for me.

Was there a little wait time, yes, but that’s to be expected with any urgent care especially with heightened flu season. However they still apologized for the longer wait. You also have the option to reserve a spot online which is a great option. The kids receptionist was even being so kind to let people leave and call when they were close to being called. ALL of the staff were extremely nice and caring! I was very impressed and had a great experience.
