In patients' words
"The only reason I went to ER at all, is that I was shocked to find Urgent Care was by appointment only. Good grief. After reading other reviews, I see I'm not alone in my feelings here."
— MedicalRecords.com User Review"I have tried calling to cancel an appointment and I'm on hold for over 20 minutes. This is ridiculous. They want so many hours notice before an appointment but they don't answer the call."
