The Buffalo Ridge office is only open weekdays from 8-5, so that's another consideration.

I've been to Exceptional Urgent Care on CR 101 and had unpleasant experiences both times. However, that was probably 3 years ago, and with the amount of staff turnover in medical offices, the rude physician and careless front office staff are probably long gone. They have their own X-ray and CT scan equipment as well as an in-house lab to do some simple blood tests, which is a time saver.

My experiences with Paramount Urgent Care on 466 have also been positive, although they had longer waits the 2 times I was there.

Whew! I didn't realize I'd become such an armchair expert on the urgent care centers closest to me.
