Blood test near me
in Alva, FL

This is such a wonderful place to go to get Urgent Medical Care without having to go to the ER at a hospital. From the very first you are made welcome and you know that you will be taken excellent care of. The registration desk immediately helped me when I walked through the door and I had ripped my leg open and was bleeding. They immediately put a temporary bandage on my leg and then when I had to fill ou5 the registration papers they made it very easy for me to register and they came to me so I didn’t have to get up and walk to the desk. Once I was called to go into the emergency room I was greeted by a wonderful nurse, Maya, who assisted me with getting me up on the gurney and removing all the bandages. She prepped me for Dr. Gayton, who was very professional and took his time with me. Fourteen stitches later and then rebadging my leg Inwas able to leave and they made sure that I needed to return two days later so the Doctor could check my leg. On my return visit I was greeted by the same medical team and was assured that it was healing properly and I need to return in two week to have the stitches removed. Both times I was there it was very busy with sick people, and everyone was treated with the same efficient staff, and made very welcome and they were all helped very efficiently. I am very happy to be able to visit a site like this instead of going to the ER in a hospital.

I have gone to this clinic and have seen the PA Tony for a 5+ years now. I would highly recommend his care and the care of Dr.Walkey, the pediatrician. As for Dr.Braden himself, he may own this practice but he personally does not practice here at all and has not for the last 5+ years. He did several years ago, but no longer does. Expect to see the PA that is there daily or the nurse who communicates with the PA. Dr.Walkey (pediatrician) is on staff/in office daily as well. Great for med management, anxiety/depression, pulled muscles and tendons, cold and flu, stitches, etc. If you have an actual urgent issue like a cut that needs stitches, they will get you in. If it is not urgent and they are busy you may have to come back the next day but the staff does their best to accommodate. A lot of people live out here now so patients need to understand that, especially with the pandemic.

I’m a walk-in, because making an appointment was nearly impossible. I tried to do it online, but the site wasn’t working. So I called, and was on hold for over 15 minutes before someone was able to tell me there were no appointments available on my one day off. So as I sit here waiting my turn, I am hearing the names, birthdates, and reasons for the visit of every person coming in. So much for patient privacy! You can do better than this, Millenium!

Using the "Wait at Home" from NCH web site is extremely helpful so as not to have long wait times at clinic. Have visited quite a few times when my primary care doctor could not get me in at last minute. Professional, Friendly Staff and Caring & Concern are Excellent. Always first choice as far as urgent care due to convenience as well.
