"Very unprofessional “doctors”. The “doctor” I had Pamela A Byrd made absolutely no effort to actually examine me... I’m extremely disappointed, perturbed, and discouraged as I feel like I’m just gonna be treaded like “another number” again."
— A Better Place (CVMC Express Care)"My wife had xrays last week and never heard back so I called this morning at 8:30 and was told they would put her on urgent. It is now 4:16 pm. What a joke this facility is!"
— Vitals (Dr. Thomas J. Curchin)"Dr. Rodriguez spent plenty of time with me. He was familiar with prior and current test results and presented findings in a clear manner. We developed a follow up plan and made appointments for coming visits. Things were efficient, thorough, and personal."
