I have been to this specific Well Now location several times over the last few years both for myself and when bringing others (I always insist everyone I know go here). I have never waited more than 15 minutes at most and I have always been greeted by a very friendly staff member at the front desk. They definitely strive to be efficient and I have never had a bad interaction with the staff. Being a college student, they have always taken the time to explain anything from insurance to prescriptions and have made me feel comfortable. During my last visit when I was bringing someone else to be treated, I was offered snacks and even a card trick performed by a staff member to pass the time.
