"I never thought I would be writing this because after 10 years of going to WNCCHS, I have had and am still having the worst experience with my dealing with them. I'm on a medication that I must take... I put in for a refill on a Friday and by the following Friday, still no refill."
— Birdeye review"Pharmacy here is horrible. The guy that helped me seem very nonchalant and couldn’t care less that I waited over two hours due their “miscommunication”."
— LocalityBiz review"Was very efficient. Doctor was great. However it was very LOUD. There was about 10? "Receptionists?" yelling in the enclosed reception area."
