"The staff and doctors here actually care about you as a patient and want to get to the root cause... I will only come here in the future and recommend this urgent care to anyone."
— LocalityBiz (Bluffton)"I assigned a two star rating due to unsatisfactory experience, largely stemming from the receptionist’s attitude... hopefully this review will prompt retraining for the front desk staff, as the personnel in the back office demonstrated exemplary kindness, Compassion, and dedication."
