WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY
These are actual comments from actual patients who have visited Dairy Road Urgent Care.
This place is the best. They’re so kind, professional, and fast. I would recommend them to anyone, old, young, or in between.
Staff is very friendly. I’ve never had to wait long. Doctors and PA’s really listen to you. They also follow up with detailed questions to get to the problem. I’ve never felt like they were rushed or disinterested. They are my 1st choice for urgent care.
My visits here for me and my children have all been helpful, good visits so far, a lot better than our experience at DOCCS.
