I've been to this Urgent Care twice a few years apart and they were excellent both times. The last time was earlier this week and everyone was exceptionally kind and friendly. And best of all, they were able to zap a chronic bronchitis infection that has been hanging around for a month. I interacted with numerous staff members and they all seemed to really care and I don't think there's anything they could have improved upon. I want to hug them all they were really so sweet, but I'm sure they don't want my sticky germs. Everything was very clean and quiet. I booked online and the wait to see someone was relatively short. I have relatives in health care and I know how it's difficult in ways the rest of us can't imagine, so please show grace to people doing this life-saving work.

Shingles is a painful, blistering skin rash caused by the varicella-zoster virus. According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the varicella-zoster virus is the same virus that causes chickenpox.
