First time at that location, definitely if have to will return thank you all so much ?
Can't think of anyway I could have been treated better. All were informed ,knowledgeable about my problem, and the treatment has done wonders. Very happy with Cody SELLSsinserity
Very courteous and kind. Willingness to help and their promptness made the experience enjoyable.
Excellent doctor very personable very knowledgeable
It's very professional. I will go back if I need to be. Thank you very much.
Cody always explains everything in language that a normal person can understand. The nurse was very sweet and caring. Thank you guys.
I was taken great care of. However the staff didn't open the front door until 8:10 and there were several people standing out front waiting; most of whom were I'll.
All the staff at this facility worked very nicely to get me in and seen by the doctor and the provider.
Everyone did an exceptional job of taking care of my child. They made her feel at ease and calmed her down. Really appreciate it. Thank you.
I was pleasantly pleased with everything and being from columbia and very ill was concerned with the fact no one was familiar with me.....but was greatly pleased with EVERYTHING!
I was confused with my diagnosis, but I appreciate that the doctor had two plans for my treatment so that I could feel that I had not wasted my time.
Done a good job
I was very pleased how soon I received care and everyone involved was very polite Will definitely use again if needed
Dr. Sells listened to me very carefully. He was very polite and professional.
I was treated with respect and courtesy as always.
Everybody there was great, lot better than blues parkway!
I would like to know when phelps health walk in clinic started doing follow up calls. I only received one, and both of my children were seen on different days. And then I was told this is normal.
He did a excellent job better than my reg Doctor I would highly recommend thank you god bless
Front desk people that check you in could be more polite and greet you with a smile not be so smug. Dr Sells was very polite, kind, and caring as well as the nurse I had very happy with my visit.
I was treated with respect and like I was a person who needed help.
The front desk staff and the nurses were absolutely amazing. My stay was quick and they were friendly and lovely as they always are. Unfortunately, my provider did not spend enough time actually finding out what was going on with me and so he prescribed me a medication that isn't enough to cover the wounds that I have. So I've had to go seek out another provider. And also, my provider seemed more interested in my partner who had not come for a medical concern than he was for me, who had come with a medical concern. So unfortunately, that one experience was not the best with the walk-in clinic. However, I do appreciate other folks there at the walk-in clinic and will likely use you again.
When I first came in the building, it was warm. It would have been nicer if the AC was working.
They were courteous and caring. The wait time was short. A good experience.
Thank you
Friendly , helpful people
The staff was friendly. Little to no wait time.
Front desk and nurse who took my vital signs were courteous and professional. I cannot say the same about Cody. He seemed to lack empathy for the pain I was in and essentially gave up on me after 2 attempts to clear wax from my left ear. I sensed a lack of patience and tolerance for the pain I was in, as the ear infection was pronounced by the time I came to the clinic. Surely he could have done more than simply prescribe ear drops. I, too, work with patients as a Physical Therapist , so I've now had to struggle with working and listening to my own patients for the better part of a week with my left ear essentially deaf. Thank goodness I have an appointment tomorrow with an ENT who will hopefully work with me to extract this wax plug gently and professionally.
Less wait time
The nurse and provider were polite and listened to my concerns and did a thorough exam to find the problem source. Very pleased with the are I received.
Everything was good
Little bit long to get checked in but got better after that.
You guys are absolutely awesome.
Very friendly and Courteous
Excellent!
Check in was very professional. The doctor that seen me listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Very pleased with the visit.
Doc Cody was amazing. The wait was non existing. Such a great experience I wish I could use Dr. Cody as my primary care physician
Everyone was courteous and performed very well.
Everyone was extremely friendly, caring and knowledgeable
Dr. Cody was extremely professional. On top of that and most importantly was his compassion. I was not doing well that day and he could tell and understood my frustration with not feeling good and hurting for a long period of time. He listened to me, he helped me understand what he was telling me and he let me off with some medicine that after a few days did get me up and feeling a little better.
The process was quick, expedited, but thorough and to the point. Everyone was polite and I never even had to repeat myself. They understood what was going on immediately, checked me out and was good to go. Got what I needed and got out.
I had a great visit and was satisfied with my care.
From the time we entered the building the staff was respectful, calm and courteous. Big shout out to Cody Sells. Taking care of my husbands medical was professional and kind. We appreciate you Cody, thank you
We were seen very quickly, all of my son's symptoms were addressed. He was even given Motrin to address his fever. Always impressed with the walk-in and know that we will get great care.
Staff was quick, efficient, and courteous. I was from out of town and they were awesome.
Everything and everyone was excellent in what they did. The only complaint I had was that kids in the waiting room did not wear masks and coughed all over everything.
Prompt, professional, and friendly service! I'm so glad we have this facility. I have used this facility twice, and would recommend their services to anyone!
Everyone take good care of me Thank you so much for treating me so good.Have a great day
Cody is an amazing provider. He listens and explains everything very well. This area is lucky to have such a great provider!
Very impressed with this facility. Don't change anything
Had a great experience. Walked in, was greeted immediately. Was taken back within a couple minutes. Nurse came in fast and friendly. Dr Sells came in immediately after, listened well, battled my monster splinter, and did a great job. Excellent and kind staff that day. Was my first visit, so I'm not sure what it's normally like.
Very happy with the facility and the doctors.
I got in quickly, staff was friendly, Dr took care of my problem, diagnosed my conditions, prescribed medicine & I'm feeling much better. Thanks!
A wait of a half hour after we were put in room was too long. We were considering leaving and going to Mercy.
Everyone was SUPER kind & efficient. I sincerely appreciated the care I received while there.
I was really feeling rotten and anticipated the clinic to be crowded, was pleasantly surprised it was not and everything went quickly and smoothly. Dr. Cody was very kind and understanding.
Everyone treated me with knowledge and caring. I was given a shot for pain and the swelling.
Everything was exceptionally well
Everything was great
Just be more transparent with the patients if they are asking for the findings. Just be more frank and tell them the truth rather than go circling around. That's it. Bye.
I was seen quickly. The receptionist was very aware of the Veterans Administration medical and TRICARE. Everything went smooth and quickly. I was seen by the doctor quickly. I told him my symptoms and previous medication and how long it took for my symptoms to get better. He told me that he had a different course of treatment and it was very good. Everything worked well. It was great.
Swift today. No one but me in the waiting room! Your people at Urgent Care are tops. Sometimes I. Wish they were my primary caregiver. Never a disappointment.
I like the fact that you guys are open on the weekend and we don't have to take our children to the emergency department for the flu.
Cody was amazing and listened well! Very helpful!
Visit went very well. They were quick but thorough. Would definitely use again, if needed
The doctor listened and addressed all my issues. He was thorough.
Everything went very well have no complaints
Excellent care provided. Best group of people ! Cody excellent
My experience was very positive and everybody was very professional. If it's possible, could you expand your services because I would like you to use your facility more, and it's extremely difficult to get into my primary care physician. Thank you.
You all did a wonderful job, thank you all and you all are so much appreciated!
Everything was great
I was very pleased with Cody and how he treated me.
Cody was wonderful!!!!
I always receive excellent care at this facility
Just keep doing what you're doing!
Cody did a great job. He was thorough and very polite
The Dr. Was very nice, and very thorough, he showed he really cared, and that he knew what he was dealing with. I think he and the nurse also went above and beyond their duties.
Very good
Everything went smoothly, and everyone was very helpful and respectful.
A helpful and positive experience
My first time therevl and they are great staff and the Dr was so nice even though it's his job to provide I know he and the staff was sincere
He listened to what I was saying and when I asked questions he was plain, well he was succinct but he made sure I was understanding and then when I asked about the bone on my foot he showed me the x-ray and that was just like an extra step, a little bit of time, not that much but some and it just cleared some things up. Thank you.
Staff was friendly and pleasant. Provider quickly ordered prescription for me and I was able to pick it up soon after. Thank you.
Just keep up the great service.
Continue with the excellent service!!!!!
I felt so embarrassed that my pain tolerance is so low compared to others but I did not feel judged at all! And the help I got made going out in the terrible weather very much worth it!
Shot in the butt worked wonders. On day 8 (of 10) taking Zyrtec and Pepcid. The rash is still visible. Thought it would be gone by now.
Nothing to change
Considering it was late on Christmas Eve and I'm sure they all wanted to be home with their families, they still took time to listen and treat me like a person.
Dr. Very informative Thank you
Everyone is so kind and caring, we appreciate them very much. The staff listens and are very knowledgeable.
Dr. Cody was amazing, he looked at wound area went right to work on it explained everything so well, step by step. He was amazing a very smart professional. I highly recommend your clinic.
Cody and the staff very kind and helpful.
I was told to call back if my symptoms did not improve when I did I was put on hold for 15 min and then tried to call back then no one answered and I am positive I have a bacterial infection because I've had them several times in the past. So now I have to wait for an actual doctor to get the treatment I need.
I've always had a great experience at urgent care, and I've had Cody Sells before, and he's very professional, explains things very well, and he's very thorough. And I would definitely highly recommend the urgent care facility.
Quick and very nice and friendly. Appreciate you all!!
Cody was very professional and listened to all my concerns and I feel much better now.
Everyone was very professional and treated me with respect.
Everyone there was great. And the X-ray technician was very courteous and professional.
The overall service I was given was very informative, courteous, they we're very respectful and were extremely professional and knowledgeable.
One of the best urgent care experiences I have had and at my age that has been some. Thanks for the care I received.
