Having an urgent medical need has never been as pleasant as it was when I visited CentraCare…read moreyesterday. I cut my finger and it needed stitches. Angela and Lori, the two ladies at the front desk, were so very friendly and caring. Since I couldn't write, they filled out all of my paperwork for me. Not only did I not wait that long, but the waiting was extremely pleasant. The facility was impeccably clean and bright and I certainly appreciated the Christian reading material that was available to make the time go faster. Denise was my nurse and she was so very funny, pleasant and extremely professional. Her sense of humor was comforting and distracting. Dr. Vanlue was amazing. He took care of the pain, stitched me right up with extreme precision, and was very detailed in explaining how to care for my injury. Urgent Care centers sometimes seem like they get the "B" or "C" level doctors, but Dr. Vanlue sure was an "A"! Plus, both the nurse and the doctor were foster and adoptive parents who did mission trips, so having faith-filled medical practitioners was an amazing bonus. I would go back to this location in a heartbeat. FYI - It took me forever to type this review due to the injury on my finger. I wanted to do it asap to share this recommendation with others. These folks were worth it!

Took my wife to the Emergency room on Tuesday 6-30. My wife was weak and dizzy. Amanda (Nurse) was…read morenice, took vitals and etc. The Doctor (Dr. Taylor) came in and said " I have a short attention span, so give me the short version of what is going on?" .....YES, that is exactly what he said. We explained the issues and he left. They pulled a blood sample and later Amanda stated it came back ok. Long story short Dr. Taylor never came back in the room during the entire 3 hr visit. We left and went home. I made my wife some chicken soup and slowly felt better. Today 7-2 my wife went to her Kidney Doctor. He reviewed her blood work from the ER and stated that her sodium had bottomed out and they should have gave her two bags of IV. I get it, he said / she said, but what REALLY pissed me off was Dr. Taylor's comment that he had a short attention span and give him the short version, like we were bothering him. Maybe his lack of "attention" missed the issue on the blood test?? How does someone with a short attention span become a MD in school? .......we will not go back to this location.
