Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I hurt my back doing some shoveling. After not being able to sleep for about a week I was recommended to go to this immediate care. Randy Vawdrey NP entered the room and without asking any specific questions about my pain or even where I was on the pain scale he immediately requested I do a lunge exercise to stretch my extension hip flexor. this increased my pain and I expressed this to him. He then became judgmental and condescending. Saying "bud I am not going to give you anything for the pain, if I urine tested you now would you have narcotics in your system? He then told me that he had a patient incubated from his perception and at that moment he became resolute that he would not prescribe pain medication. He then asked if I smoked pot and suggested that I try it, or if not pot then try cbd. From there he became more and more uncompassionate and rude. He turned and as he walked out said I should go to the ER. This was the worst experience I have had with a medical professional. Not only did he increase my pain but on top of that he insinuated that I was a drug addict by asking what a urine sample would produce. This man had no compassion and I left in worse pain than when I arrived. Stay away from this place if you are looking for a medical profession true to there hippocratic oath.
