The visit was for a sports physical at the walk in clinic. The staff were very nice, from check in to seeing the provider. I thought the provider was very thorough in her exam. It was fast and everyone was friendly. An overall positive clinic vibe between the staff, that was nice to see. I would feel very comfortable going back, even for something more serious.
