Great drs. We had really been discouraged with our family physician. We were driving from Lenoir to…read moreBoone for all of our visits. We would have an appointment with our physician but end up seeing a nurse practitioner due to overbooking or other reasons unknown before we arrived. My husband and I were both hospitalized within two months of each other. We went to Caldwell Hospital in Lenoir via the emergency room both times. We each had a condition that should have been diagnosed months before but was not. My husbands stay lasted eight days. Mine lasted three! We were referred to Dr. Aaron Goodwin at Robbins Medical Park. What a blessing. The office staff is very attentive. Our calls are always taken. We are called back right when needed. Our appointments are scheduled in a timely manner. They also have an urgent care At the same facility. We have been his patients for almost two years. We are still very pleased.

Like how hard it is to apply the payment I made through my account, to my outstanding balance on my account? This is so frustrating.

After rushing to AFC, due to metal shavings that shot into my eye during work. I was told by Paul…read morethe P.A., there was nothing visible that he could be seen, and that, "it probably cleared itself and just feels like there was a foreign object in my eye". Knowing I probably needed another opinion, I went to Graystone several days later and was treated by an amazing physician who found 4 total fragments lodged in my eye!. 2 larger pieces and 2 smaller ones offset from the center of my eye..I was told by the attending specialist he couldn't believe someone couldn't see the metal because it was so large in terms of objects in the eye, and could be visibly seen by basic observation. Not only was I carelessly cleared by Paul the P.A., but I also called to report the incident after my procedure at Graystone, and was told by AFC management, they would review the matter, and I would receive a phone call in a few days to find resolution for this issue.. Guess who is still waiting for that call a month later? You guessed it, I did!..I wouldn't recommend anyone taking their loved ones here and would most certainly advise against going to the facility if it is at all possible! Best of Luck to All!

I am a nurse and I was very clear about needing to be seen immediately. Instead the lady at the front desk walked away and left me standing in the waiting room alone for about 5 minutes. I have no idea what she was doing and I was the only patient there. She did not call anyone to take a look at me and when she got back would not take me back to a room until she had entered all of my insurance information. When I got to a room there was another wait. Then, finally I saw the nurse practitioner who gave me a shot of Benadryl and steroids. She said that I also needed epinephrine and that they don't have the capability to give it there. Parents give their kids epinephrine, school nurses give epinephrine, pharmacists and EMTs give epinephrine, but they can't give epinephrine at this urgent care. She said that my only options were to be picked up by an ambulance for transport to the hospital in Boone, or to have my husband drive me to the hospital in Boone. I made it to the hospital and got the care I needed, however this was a close call. I am astounded by how long I had to wait to be seen for a life threatening emergency and totally shocked that an urgent care can't give epinephrine. This business is doing the community a disservice by calling itself an urgent care.

As of this writing, the facility is refusing to provide an interpreter for a Deaf patient. They say…read morethey don't "do that." We explained that they are in violation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The person we spoke to on the phone refused accommodations and said we'd have to talk to the main office in the morning. That's unacceptable in an urgent care situation. The person who runs their Facebook page has said they are working on it and that we should contact their COO. We will look for resolution in the morning. ADA violations are a matter of Federal law, not choice. Refusal of appropriate care for people with disabilities is shameful. UPDATE: After two more calls in the morning and speaking to someone in another location, the provider finally agreed to provide an interpreter. The patient was very happy with the skill level of the interpreter who worked the appointment. It is good that it worked out. However, no patient should be put through this kind of or ordeal or suffer such poor customer service when simply trying to secure mandated communication access.
