call me lucky - but i walked into my doctor's office this morning - without an appt - and was asked to have a seat and i could be seen shortly! within ten mins i was in the examining room, updated my records since last annual visit, had the vitals taken and the doc walked in 5 mins later! got my scripts, had my lab work done [had to wait 15mins for the tech] and was outta there!

i agree with recommendation to use lake reg'l urgent care since they have a doctor on staff. however, i used premier on 466 because the wait was wwaaayyyy to long the day i went to lruc and i was most pleased with the service rendered by a phys asst there. will continue to use them if/when it is necessary.
