I have arthritis in my knee and it is inflamed. I called and made an appointment to see Dr. Parks…read more He gave me a steroid shot in the knee and told me to take it easy on my knee. A few weeks pass and no real relief. I had to go back to TOC. The pain was unbearable so I had to get fluid drained, twice. The local anesthetic was a minor poke. The harpoon used to drain fluid, that bad boy hurt. I can't imagine the pain without the local anesthetic. Two large tubes of fluid were removed, twice. I have gone 2 weeks in a row to get the fluid drained from my knee cap. Many thanks to Tom, Dr. Park's PA! I had an MRI. Dr. Parks told me I need a total knee replacement. I have the surgery scheduled late June. The schedule is full. The waiting room for people with knee problems is full all day. It doesn't matter if you have a morning or afternoon appointment. Thankfully Dr. Park's staff is efficient and they get patients in and out quickly. While I do not look forward to surgery, I know that surgery will allow me to get around better and improve quality of life. Many thanks to Dr. Park's and his staff. 5/5

Never , I repeat NEVER go to this hospital's emergency room, not only did they not see that I had…read morea broken back , they misdiagnosed it 2 nights in a row.

My doctor's office made me an appointment for Pre-Admission Testing (PAT). This building is…read morelocated on the Crestwood Medical Center campus and is used for non-emergency PAT which cuts down on the congested day surgery entrance at the back of the hospital. I am thankful I had an appointment as there were many individuals that did not. This clinic takes appointments first and walk ins are worked in. It is early Monday morning and people are starting their day off disgruntled. I recommend coming here as it is stress free if you have an appointment.

I have been using Waddell Center in Athens Al. for 2 years. Jaclyn Collie is who I always ask to…read moresee and they always make sure I am scheduled with her. 1. Waddell Staff is amazing. They are friendly and courteous when you check in all the way through check out. I have never waited very long to be seen. I changed Dr's because I was so impressed with the staff at Waddell. 2. Lesley Belue works there and recommended for me to try them. She got me an appointment the next day when I had shingles. Trust me being seen by a doctor is ASAP when you have shingles. Lesley was and is always great help. 3. Jackie Collie ALWAYS takes time to listen to me to see what is going on. She goes that extra mile to talk to her patients and find out what is wrong and the best way to treat it. She treats everyone as an individual and everyone is important to her. By far the best Dr. I have ever seen. We are lucky to have all of them in Athens.

Reading the old reviews from seven years ago are shocking. I have used the Center for years, as…read morehave so many of my friends, and found the highest level of professionalism by a caring staff from the doctors to the office staff! Appointments are easy to get in a timely fashion and they always ask how serious, which results in getting seen immediately if necessary. Doctors are top notch, caring and through. I have been referred to five specialists over the years and without exception have been told that the Waddell doctors had it right, confirming their diagnosis and recommendations. Gives me great confidence. Thank god we have this facility: filled with outstanding, knowledgeable professionals who care.

Their motto "We care when it matters most" needs to be changed to "We care only if you have money"…read more My 22 year old daughter walks in with a chest wound and a fever and because she has a balance, we didn't know about, they refused to see her.

I was sick. You know the kind of sick that only happens on Saturday when your PCP…read moreis closed for two more days. Sick-sick - the kind that you just know shouldn't wait until Monday. I had an incessant cough - so bad that I was having trouble catching my breath. (Why I didn't tear my husband away from his football game and take me is still a mystery.) I hadn't been to urgent care since the middle of Covid. I figured I might as well go back to the last place I had been. They were close and in the past, quick. I got there to find them closed with a homeless person passed out in front of their entrance. Now where to go? I've had more than my share of lousy service at AFC so I continued to look. I saw Approxie care on the list of sites. I was a good 10 miles away but I at least knew where it was - I had received a (drive-thru ) Covid test there. I arrived to find one other family in the waiting area. I grabbed a mask, quickly checked in and sat in the corner to distance from the others. Check in was easy, you know the drill - hand over your cards, fill in the papers on the clipboard and have a seat. No different from most any medical encounter. I waited no more than 10 minutes when I was escorted into the exam room. A young girl - high school young - took my vitals, asked me about what was going on and swabbed me for Covid and the flu - pretty routine. In the back of my mind I wondered how a teenager was qualified to work there but she told me it was her third year in the medical program at Bob Jones. Later when I thought about it, I was impressed that Approxie was actively supporting our young people in their career paths. Dr Shah soon came in, listened to my chest - he didn't need to ask me to cough. I'm sure had heard me through the walls. He asked a few questions, listened to my chest and diagnosed me. Apparently my symptoms were textbook for walking pneumonia. It was just a gut feeling, but Dr Shah's bedside manner immediately made me trust him. He did do a chest xray to reassure me as bronchitis and I are no stranger. He prescribed a breathing treatment and antibiotics and sent me home with the standard rest and hydrate and like that, less than an hour after I entered the building, I was driving home. The only issue that I had was that Dr Shah told me to do the breathing treatment twice a day but my orders and prescription both said once a day. By the time I called the office to confirm, they were closed. The medicine had me feeling better in a couple of days though 3 weeks later I still have a cough. Approxie definitely isn't the most convenient place to my home but if and when I or a family member needs urgent care, this is the place we are coming too. I really can't say enough about the care I received.

Upon entering, the cool air conditioning was refreshing. The heat and humidity made the feels like temp 95-98 degrees outside. Checking in was very easy. Registering was very easy. I sat and waited for my turn. There were a dozen people there and it seemed like everyone was heading through the double doors to their respective appointments timely. My appointment took an hour. My nurse, Lisa, was very thorough. She drew blood, went over my medical history, explained my procedure, performed a nose swab to check if I am a MRSA carrier, EKG, and more. I am very impressed with the pre-op screening done by HH and TOC. I highly recommend HH Pre-Admission testing for your surgical needs. 5/5
