What urgent care was meant to be. Great Place!

by longislandgirl21

I'm a student from out of state and I got sick and didn't know where to go. Every Doctors office I called said I needed a "new patient appointment" not available for another week. My insurance told me to go to this place.

When I called they told me to just come on in and they would be happy to see me. When I got there and told the front desk I was there for the urgent care (they also do accupational health and physical therapy) she remembered my name and problem which was really nice.

The medical assistant took me in the room and started the process by doing the basic history, vitals but then running a rapid test she said she new the doctor was going to order, so instead of wasting time and having him come in then go back out and order it she did it and had the result ready when he came in. No wasted time..I love it!!! While we were talking she was so nice and kind. I asked her about the clinic and she told me they had x-ray, a travel clinic for travel shots, immigration physicals, pre-employment physicals and substance abuse test. She did say that because it was a walk in clinic for everyone it sometimes gets busy but no where like a hospital wait time.

The doctor was funny and made me laugh even though I wasn't feeling well. He treated me and educated me with some helpful tips.

If i get sick again while I'm in school in Boston I know where I'm going.

• Pros: Free parking. Fast. Walk out with problem taken care of.
• Cons: Not opened on weekends or nights. But opened on holidays.
