Do not go here!. I went in for a sore throat and a fever. They diagnosed me with "what looks like strep" even though she said the quick test didn't show strep.

While doing the test, She looked at it and seemed like she didn't know what she was looking at. Excused herself and then came back.

She prescribed antibiotics and sent the tests to the lab. The lab said no strep. Just like the quick test "Looked like"

She gave me a puzzled look when I asked for my Rx to be written instead of just sent to Walgreens pharmacy.

In the end, it was a viral infection that just had to run it's course. Any real Dr would have seen this instead of trying to flip a quick buck for a lab test and antibiotics which were not needed(and I was told to stop taking)

I've used the other, non pharmacy based urgent care centers under many different companies. Always been satisfied and they've always had a real Dr on staff and competent staff. I'd recommend looking for one of those or waiting to see your Dr.
