Staff quite friendly, fairly professional. Check in smooth. Area ckean. But overall this place…read moreseems understaffed with medical personnel. When I went there was only 1 other person waiting for someone in the waiting area. I got into an exam room within 10 minutes. Once vitals were taken, I had a long wait to see dr,or pa, around a half hour. The person who finally came was pleasant, efficient, a bit abrupt as rushed due to an emergency, so the visit was short. At least I got taken care of. When I left the waiting area was full, with people standing. Thankfully I got there before the crowd. The wait time once checked in can be very long - My daughter had waited an hour one morning even to get into an exam room. I recommend going off- hours if possible to avoid spending a very long time there and getting minimal attention. It does work ae a place to go if need.

I've been to two of their local centers 3-4 times but was never told could l could make an…read moreappointment. l never realized an "urgent care" facility might take appts for planning to be I looked at their web site and it still went right over my head. I knew l was coming today as l had booked my ride a week in advance so there was plenty of time to make an appt had l known this. Not one person, administrative or medical ever mentioned the time l could have saved had l made an "urgent" appointment. I was sitting there waiting patiently, "in the dark." I did finish my medical appointment and the medical staff is always incredible. That little time saving nugget would have saved me well over an hour. In spite of the delay and no explanation of why people who arrived later were seen incredibly faster than me, I'm still extremely pleased with their medical care. I really miss the x-ray equipment that was moved to Berlin. That really made this location shine. The medical staff is incredible. They are good listeners. They are really thorough at asking both open ended and detailed questions which brought out other options pointing to why l have been sick. My test was negative for strep so l asked if it might be a good idea to do a PCR covid test. We did exactly that. The bottom line is that l still may possibly be suffering from hay fever. Or maybe tge flu, but we didn't rest for flu or RSV. I'm still at a bit of a loss. We ruled out a few vital things and I have a broad sprectrum prescription for a sinus infection. I get those frequently so l am hoping this RX kicks this out. A little extra administrative training could make this facility an even better urgent care facility. Please bring back the x-rays. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'm still giving them a 8.5, as the medical care is excellent and the location is perfectly located. With x-ray equipment, they are easily rated a 10. Signage in the facilities followed up by verbal reminders indicating "appointments" would be extremely helpful. I really only realized it was avaliable tonight after reading reviews after my day visiting them. My goodness! Who would have guessed? It's a great idea, had l known. Duh. It's brilliant to be able to plan ahead via an appointment to be treated in an "urgent care medical facility." I can't be the only person who had no idea of the appointment availability. I just read another review and realized we never discussed a flu test. I've never been tested for the flu so l had no idea there is a flu test. That might be another reason l may be feeling poorly. A friend mentioned RSV testing as well, but it's too late now

I had a very poor experience going to this urgent care. I'll save you the gory details but I had…read moreinjured my knee and had been in some very bad pain and decided to get checked out. The front desk staff was pleasant and I didn't have to wait long, probably the only positives of going here. I was taken back to a room and shortly after a female PA came in. She literally looked me in the face and said "I'm not sure what you came here expecting" as if I had hobbled into my dentists office and told them I'd hurt my knee. She didn't touch my knee once or do any sort of exam, just had one of the nurses take me for an x-ray (which showed nothing). Then when she returned with the results she said "you may have injured your meniscus." Again, this was done without doing any sort of exam whatsoever. She then told me she'd wrap it in an ace bandage and told me to try going to an orthopedist. The two minutes she took to wrap my knee was the extent of her coming within 5 feet of me! Wrapping my knee in an ace bandage was probably the worst thing for me because it only made the pain worse! I would have been better off taking my $75 co-pay and lighting it on fire instead of wasting my time here.

Clean interior, pleasant staff. I'm wavering between two and three stars but decided to err on the…read moreside of generosity & benefit of the doubt. I waited more than two hours to see a doctor even though there were only two people ahead of me. My appointment itself took about three minutes. I really only needed to get a bad cold/cough checked out to make sure it wasn't turning into bronchitis (it's not, luckily) so it felt silly to wait so long for such a comparably minor ailment. Otherwise, it's fine and takes my insurance. This is my second visit and the only one that had such a ridiculously long wait time. Just wish staff were more communicative about how long it takes to see a doctor.

The discuss the Dr had with me.... Your cholesterol and sugar results came back borderline, my response. Thanks I need to lose some weight. Charged $$$$$. For him to read my results. Never have I been charged to discuss my lab results that are part of a physical. I say stay far away!!!!

They are kind and compassionate and truly care about their patients. That is the difference between them and other practices. I have a physician for life who I can call and he will see me without an appointment. Plus, Dr. John is a leading practitioner in his field, highly educated, and has a particular skill of identifying what is wrong and the best way to treat it. Their dedicated shows every single time I go there. I read another review where someone was complaining about having to pay for more than a physical. Every doctor charges for their services as they too run a business Dr. John's fees are not only reasonable, but they submit the insurance claims for you! Just the most polite staff and they all are bilingual too! If you are looking for a top notch doctor that cares about you and you can trust your health to, I can't think of any other place to go. What a contrast to so many other practices where you feel like a cattle being rushed in and out for a quick buck and are just a number. I myself don't shop for a doctor like I would shop for a commodity. I chose a doctor because they are the best in the field. Clearly, Dr. John and Southington Family Medical fit that expectation - well above and beyond it. Make them your family practitioner for life. Your will be so glad you did it. They are simply the best!
