One of them “I cant believe this just happened accidents” Went to clinic and I was taken right away. Needed stitches, nurses were “Johnny on the spot with response” Then the Doc walked in, damn!! Been a long time since I been seen by an old school Doctor!! Staff, and especially the Doc was beyond great!! The attention to detail, the humor, I never been so relaxed before!!! God forbid you need their services, but if you do... You will not regret it!!!! I am 59 years old, had a lot of “oops” in my life I truly LOVED this place

When checking in at the Texas MedClinic waiting time was lengthy,but once we were called to the back. The Medical Assistant was absolutely very Thorough has a excellent personality I would like if Esther skills were passed on to the intire team. The Doctor also was very thorough and explaining over the treatment and follow up. I diffently would recommend this facility. Just make sure and register online before arriving so it can cut down on the waiting time.
