Other than a 45 minute wait despite having an appointment it was good due to staff. There are. I chairs in waiting room that disabled people like me can use. They all swivel. I suggest you get a solid chair with arms to show you care about your patients. Very unsafe.

Woke up with shingles symptoms, about 7 am. I was able to make an 8:30 am appointment. Staff checked me in efficiently and politely. The Assistant took my vitals, while being pleasant and upbeat; and clarified where to have a prescription sent, if applicable The doctor was thorough, diagnosed shingles, told me about the treatment, and asked if I had any questions.

Sparkling Clean

Booked my appointment online for a same day visit, super easy and helpful. Got a few reminders even though I schedules same day which was nice as well. The front desk seemed like she didn’t want to be there at all, she was on Instagram while I was getting checked in and didn’t talk much. The MA and the provider were extremely nice and friendly, was a great experience with them.  Would definitely come back

Follow-visit for blisters on both feet. Very sensitive to touch this morning. Made an appointment just 30 minutes out. Checkin was immediate. Placed in room quickly. Nurse took vitals and checked my feet. Doctor came in and examined my feet. Determined a treatment plan. Nurse did the bandage and wraps. I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Excellent.

Friendly Staff

I've been here twice so far and it's been great. I did wait a long time to be seen the first time but I was a walk-in and most everybody had appointments. The X-rays I had taken were really quick. The Chiropractor explains everything really good and the staff is very nice.

Suzy Choi, PA-C ...YOU ARE A BLESSING!! I want to start off by thanking you for being so kind and listening to my symptoms. I was so scared but you talked with me and reassured me of my treatment plan. You related with me and understood me, making me feel so much better. I appreciate you for all that you do. You told me you were the only provider working and you were so backed up with patients. I noticed you took the time that each one needed. I was waiting for awhile, but due to covid-19 it is understandable. It wasn't that bad and to have a wonderful provider like yourself meant the world. You are appreciated and so is all your nurses and staff. Thank you again!!❤❤

About Tetanus Shots

A tetanus shot is used to prevent tetanus, also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a bacterial infection that can lead to painful muscle spasms, and oftentimes, death. Adults in the US have to be vaccinated against tetanus because there's currently no cure for it and roughly 10 to 20 percent of victims die from tetanus. Symptoms of tetanus come from a toxin produced by tetanus bacteria and usually begin appearing about a week after the infection occurs. The most common symptom is muscle stiffness that begins in the jaw and spreads to the neck, arms, legs, or abdomen, but other symptoms include trouble swallowing, headache, fever and sweating, irritability and restlessness, high blood pressure, palpitations, and muscle spasms in the face.

It's important to get treated for tetanus as soon as you know you're infected because if it's not treated quickly enough, you can die from suffocation. Tetanus shots are given in the shoulder muscle. If you've never had a tetanus shot before, you might be given a three-dose primary series. You'll get the first dose as a three-in-one combination called Tdap that prevents tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), and diphtheria (Td). The other two doses will usually be a dual vaccine and you'll receive them over a 7 to 12 month period. You should receive a tetanus vaccine between 2 months and 6 years old, as well as a teenager and an adult. Pregnant women might need a tetanus shot during the third trimester of pregnancy.
