Dr. Chroma Okechukwu, is the most amazing caring physician. In my 47 years I've never met such a wonderful physician. She was there in my moment of anxiety when I couldn't breathe due to Allergies, influenza and acute asthma. She calmed me down instantly and started me on treatment. Today I followed up with her and I'm feeling 80% better. Entire staff is amazing. Thank you Dr you are on of a kind.

It was a wonderful experience from front office to nurse to doctor. Dr Keller had a great bedside manner and really listened to my issues. I will definitely share my experience with others and make sure all my kids stop using a different clinic and start using Fast Aid Urgent Care. And the icing on the cake is it’s owned by a Veteran. Thank you for your service, devotion and sacrifice!

Drove my husband out because his wrist was painful, we checked in and were called back within 6-7 minutes, the nurse did triage and the doc came in the room within 10 minutes. All in all they did an evaluation, x-rays and sent in a prescription in about 45 minutes.
