My son is currently on a medication that requires a monthly blood test. This past week was our second visit, and I'm truly grateful for the walk-in hours at this center. Though this is an immediate care center, and they see patients for all sorts of reasons, our personal experience has been fantastic. We are always juggling my son's school schedule, and we've never had to wait in the waiting area longer than 10 minutes. And this is during the pandemic!
The front help desk couldn't have been nicer and more thorough. Since my son's doctor is out of the North Shore network, they called our dermatologist to make sure his standing order was confirmed. There were others waiting in line, but that didn't make them rush.
Not to be too gross, but my son is really new to this whole drawing blood procedure (he's 14). They were careful to find a good vein and made him feel very comfortable and safe. He can't handle a shot, but drawing blood is a smooth process here.
The waiting room is very spacious, and they only let a few people in--even if it's a walk in. If there are too many people in the waiting room, they will send you back out and have you wait in the car until called.
Upon entry they took our temperature and asked us the typical Covid screening questions. There used to be two access points, an elevator and stairs, but now you can only enter via the elevator and exit via the stairs. This is a safety precaution to keep people moving in one direction. They have plexi shields everywhere, including on their faces. We felt 100% safe.
We were in and out of there in a matter of 20 minutes. We have a closer location we could go to, but we will be back at this location next month, since they've been so great to my son.
Parking is plentiful. read more
