Reviews
Earl & Janelle Hines
I went into the clinic because I woke up with a swollen eye. I arrived about an hour before they were getting ready to close. The wait was not bad and the staff was VERY nice and attentive. Everyone made sure I understood my after care instructions before leaving. I had to return the next day for a follow up. The nurse who took my vitals was there and recognized me. She was even more pleasant than the first day. I would definitely go back and recommend this clinic to others!

My 4 year old had an accident while playing outside that required stitches. Andrew, Yuli and Genesis were so attentive and prompt getting us checked in and making sure we understood our options. Jasmin (our saving grace) did an amazing job with our 4year old, he had no idea he was getting stitches and she also kept my husband and I calm through the entire process. So thankful for the great service the day before Labor Day! We will always be loyal clients because of the great care you provided. Thank you so much! 🙂

The staff here are extremely kind. I am always anxious to go to the doctor, so I was relieved that everyone was so respectful. The receptionist made the process clear and my medical assistant and provider both made me feel heard and cared for. The care I received was compassionate and I left with a clear treatment plan and knowledge of what to be aware of in terms of my condition worsening. The team here is great!
