This place is wonderful. From the first time I went I felt important, heard, cared for. The staff will answer any question and really want you to get well. Physicals, broken leg, depression, and the flu are all given the same priority. Wait time is 5-15 minutes most days. Busier times during peak hours and peak epidemics. Free wifi. Labs, ct scans, nerve testings, xrays, and sonagrams are available in house.
