| - Fairly organized, very sterile, friendly staff.
They have the waiting room divided for the two doors, one urgent and the other for the not so much. pretty straightforward check-in, a nurse takes you back and gives you the normal height/weight/bp rundown, and then they have a time table set up and let you know that after you're taken to the room, they expect a doctor to be in in (so many) minutes, and write it on a small board in the exam room.
My doctor did arrive in the amount of time stated. woo hoo. I re-iterated my issue, he talked about it, checked over me, and started his schpeel. I tried to interject with some patient history while he was hypothesizing, he may have heard me, but not sure if I would call it listening.
I left with a few prescriptions in hand, but the meds mostly treated the smaller symptoms of a larger issue, and I don't think going back to them would give me a much different result, but that's what my normal doctor is for, when she's available.
Overall, in a pinch, I'd go back. It was clean, it was speedy, though overly sterile and clinical in the personal way. And they really don't seem to dig deeper than the quickest route to the door. infections, broken bones, very visible symptoms, flu (when they don't misdiagnose and you actually have pneumonia) - they'll take care of you for sure. So, yes, they excel in the "urgent" half almost to a fault, leaving those of us with extended symptoms and with no other doctor availability not always able to find help. They do, however, offer snacks and water while you wait in the lobby and in the exam room - so there's a perk!
