"Developed flu like symptoms last evening, went to Express care this morning. Had a definitive Dx, a plan of care and on my way in >45minutes. Staff were courteous, knowledgeable and helpful at every level. Kudos to all!"
— Solv Patient Review"Overall care was good,what can be improved is when I was put in the treatment room after seeing the nurse the wait time was long. This I can understand, but when you are feeling lousy someone should at least check on you to see if you are alright until you are seen."
