    I was miserable and suspected flu so I wanted Tamiflu but a flu test was required. On the way to Urgent Care where I would have had to wait hours I stopped at the office. The clerk said no appointments were available but he went out of his way to fit me in after consulting with the doctor. I then had only a one hour wait. The doctor was excellent even though I am not her regular patient. I am most appreciative all around. Bravo staff.
