Came here for a scheduled vision/hearing test as part of my yearly requirements. Had over an hour wait. Then the hearing test is just in an office with headphones on. These things are so thin you can hear everything going on in the entire building. I was in the back corner office and could hear the receptionist talking on the phone. You can hear everything but the beeps.

Express care for private insurance people and they should advertise that. When you're looking for an express care that means you're looking for fast care usually at odd hours, I've never ran into an express care that only takes private insurances or has lengthy paperwork just for an urgent visit like they're afraid they won't get paid. Their self pay prices are outrageous as well.
