I couldn't get in to see my primary care physician for 2 days, so I decided to go to the MinuteClinic in Red Oak, Texas. I walked in at 4:00 p.m., checked in and was seen right away by Bene Aneke. She was very compassionate and thorough. I didn't feel rushed at all. She confirmed that I had a sinus infection, had my prescription sent to the pharmacy and I was walking out of there with medication at 4:30. I had a very good experience and I would go back again. I highly recommend MinuteClinic in Red Oak, Texas!

Absolutely wonderful experience. In and out in less than an hour with a broken ankle 😳 Wonderful, friendly, thorough service and excellent care. The young lady at the front desk, Quiana, is a jewel! She was sooo sweet, caring and compassionate from the moment I called, to my check in and my check out. My nurse, Perla was excellent! She took great care of me, handled my x-rays and got me fitted for my boot. They were both exceptional! Quiana & Perla, THANK YOU both for being outstanding at your job and for making me feel so important! Dr Johnson was also great. He was thorough and explained everything with a great bead side man or. The x-Ray tech was also super sweet and thorough with getting the correct pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you all for your outstanding service! I now consider Rockwall Urgent Care as MY Urgent Care Center for any future emergencies and I live in Mesquite! They are totally and absolutely worth the drive!!! THANK YOU ALL for your wonderful care!
