Best I have ever had. Friendly and spends time.The WM office is super, they have their house in order. The Jonesboro office, where I live should be shut down. Most unorganized place i ever been. You have to sit OUTSIDE most days
They suck. Waiting 6 hours is stupid. I can go to W. MEMPHIS get a shot and be home before you can get in in Jonesboro. Something needs to be done.

I like Dr Sullivan but we had to wait 2 hours before they called us back. Don’t get an appointment that is near lunchtime. Our appointment was 11:20. A couple folks were walk ins and I’m sure they weren’t seeing the Dr for the same reason but they were called back before us. Walk ins should’ve worked around folks with an appointment. I wish west Memphis had another choice.

Staff is super nice and accommodating.
Dr Huddleston is a super, down to earth guy (especially when he eats his Wheaties that day! Lol. Actually has a great bedside manor. Something more doctors his age should practice. In fact it should be taught in schools. Tactfulness is not gift. It's taught. Either at home or school. Should be both.
