I've been to many Emergency rooms and a handful of urgent care clinics. This was by far most efficient urgent care clinic I have ever been to. The wait time was 1 hour, which was not bad for a crowded weekend day. Once back in the exam area, I was attended to promptly by nursing staff who took my vitals. Not long after, I was seen by a doctor. Everything was thorough, as was the explanation of my diagnoses and treatment. I was not given a mere aspirin and told to call my doctor Monday morning, which is far too often the standard M.O. of most urgent care clinics in other states (Minnesota and Oklahoma come to mind). This is staffed by bona-fide physicians. The nursing and physician staff acted as though they truly cared, and believed in a high standard of care. They also operated in an independent and confident manner, the significance which I can only describe thus: they acted as though they were the only doctor I was going to seek care from, and they worked my case accordingly. They did not act like a band-aide dispensary that would merely put me together only long enough for my regular doctor to see. Personally, in my almost 50 years, I have never seen this high level of care in an urgent care clinic.
Pros: It was busy, but wait time was reasonable.
