Report
Took my 7-year-old autistic son there for a walk-in due to a broken bone the bone had been broken a month before but was refractured, we were turned away and was told they would not see him unless they could have his medical records and make him an appointment. What is the point of walk-ins if you're going to turn away a 7-year-old child with a broken bone. Horrible horrible horrible will never go back do not recommend.

Report
Neglected to call my boyfriend back for a week after his shoulder surgery. Rescheduled his follow up with no call or text on a confirmed appointment. No one knew why. Did not ask who I was when calling to confirm his new Appointment and gave private HIPPA information over the phone. Do not recommend the Johnson city location.

Dr. Parr is top notch, excellent surgeon and super nice. We made few trips to walk in clinic after surgery and Becky is definitely the best around! She and the PA Kendra were both very professional and you could tell they knew how to do their jobs!

I second guessed checking in after the initial encounter from the front desk lady. She looked at me like I had 3 heads when I told her I needed to check in for the walk in ortho clinic. Not exactly a welcoming front but I received quick and excellent care from the clinical team once taken back. Angela the PA was great and thorough.
