She listened. She knew what she was talking about and explained things well, including how the medication worked and that she could see signs it was working (she gave specifics). This was my first time using Express and she explained some procedures they do & don’t do, and Gave me reasons to make & keep my appt with my family physician. It was also handy to have the pharmacy adjacent.

I love that you offer an urgent care in HyVee. At 5:45pm I realized my son's sore throat was more than a little sore throat and I got the last appt at 6:30. Got in early, got out, got meds and home in an hour. You are all the best. Thank you thank you for all you do.

She was very caring and listened to my concerns. The nurse did a great job as well. I also appreciated how quick everything was. I waited less than a minute upon check-in to be seen by the nurse and then was seen immediately by the doctor/nurse practitioner when the nurse was finished. The entire experience was very good. Thank you!
