If I could give the 0 stars I would. This is the worst place to get a PCR Test done if you need it for traveling purposes. I called and spoke to Kristine over the phone on Tuesday, Aug 10th and explained we were traveling and would need our PCR test result for Saturday, Aug 14th, she assured me that I would have the results back by Friday, Aug 13th and that they would give me a call. They never called nor did I receive our results that day. I tried calling and emailing them endlessly on Friday, Aug 13th no one answered nor did anyone reply to my emails. The following morning luckily we found another

I wish they lived by me I would change doctors in a heart beat!! The nurses and doctor at this place were so helpful and amazing today!!! I was out of town with my son and he ended up getting sick and I needed a Covid test ASAP and they got me in fast and was so helpful after I was a hot mess trying to figure everything out. They deserve ten stars not five!!!! Thank you again

Honestly, initially I was not going to go to the location because the picture made me think it was a rapid test site only, but once I got a callback from the office all of my expectations were exceeded and continue to rise with every interaction. Not only was the Doctor super efficient, but we had to see him on a holiday and there is no up charge. We could not find a place that had the prescription so he kept calling and helping us try to find a location open that would see us. He even found a pharmacy and called I a favor just so that we could get the medicine because our infant needed it. Dr

Amazing service. My kids were in Florida and needed care while out of town. They stayed late, (10:30pm)to service us and were very thorough with testing for covid and then following up with the results as soon as they received them. I highly recommend the doctor and his staff! We will go back if we are in town and in need of care again.

This doctor and his staff are absolutely amazing ! I called and they helped me book a same day appt. Online i am about 100 miles away almost 2 hours and i drove there out of all places i could have picked bc they were very accommodating from the start ! I let them know what i needed and they took care of everything even met me at the car and proceeded our visit outside which is one of the things i loved the most bc my child didn't want to go into a building ! Thank you all so much for going above and beyond the call of duty, for taking your professions seriously , and for loving what you do it

Had a great experience here. Called at 7:30pm. The doctor met us at 8:15 for drive through testing and we were gone within minutes. He was very kind with my little one. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend.
