★★★★★— Jennifer Thorsen
Such a convenient and great place to go when you can’t get to your doctors during the week or after hours. Everybody was incredibly sweet, kind, friendly, and the nurse practitioner on staff that day was fantastic. I’m so blessed to have this in my neighborhood and thank you for helping me feel better after four weeks with a bad sinus infection. You will definitely be in my recommendation book and hopefully I don’t have to come back but if I do have any after hours or weekend doctors needs- You guys will be my go to

Went for urgent care because I was having itching in my eyes. The doctor was very thorough and explained his treatment options well. He had a very friendly manner about him. I will definitely be going here again.
