Best experience Ive had in a medical facility.. better than even going the the hospital for non-emergency care. Excellent wait time, you get to see a real Medical Doctor and they treat you like you were at a hospital.. taking blood pressure and etc. Awesome! The price is very reasonable too and especially for someone like me having to pay out of pocket since my insurance doesn't kick in until next month. Overall definitely would refer family and friends there first and foremost!!!

Wonderful experience. Dr. Rudy has the best bedside manner that I have experienced in years. I came in worried and afraid and he was so comforting yet professional. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking for a primary doctor!
