Report
I went in today with an issue regarding pain in my leg/lower back. The staff was very friendly & courteous. I did not have to wait long to be seen and when I did go back everything went smoothly as the nurse recorded my symptoms. The diagnosis was very informative and I received immediate treatment to help resolve my issue. Very impressed and would gladly trust them again!

Report
This place is just so bad when it comes to service and it's super over priced. I came in because I was having issues with allergies and was only given a steroid shot that did not help. One week later I called because my eyes have been getting worse and they told me to come back so that they could check me again. I come in the next day and they are saying I have to pay more than $100 dollars again just because they are going to "reevaluate" me. This is ridiculous, I shouldn't have to pay for a service twice just because they were not effective on treating it properly the first time.

My husband and I have been coming here for years and it seems the past six months the quality of service has taken a huge hit. I took my daughter in to be seen and we waited for 20 minutes before I was told the front office did not receive insurance information (now has to be faxed and not emailed). The office suggested I download a fax app (which I did) waited another 20 minutes before I was told once again it was not received.
Finally she said she would pull the insurance information from my account. I've already waited almost 45 minutes so at this point we left and I took my daughter elsewhere. The providers have always been awesome but the front desk service is just not what it used to be.

Came here a few days ago with a severe cough, fatigue and congestion. My wife was starting to have the same symptoms, so assumed it was something contagious and wanted to rule out covid. Dr didn't seem to know what hat it was and refused to test me as I had no fever and sent me home with a prescription for antibiotics. My wife's symptoms began to increase and she was having trouble breathing so went to Texas Health Breeze in Lewisville as she wanted to be tested.
Sure enough, she was positive. They said they would test me too, but pretty certain I had it too, so I didn't test. They were shocked that this Hickory Creek clinic didn't test me and said they have had people test positive every day with all sorts of symptoms, most with no fever. They test everyone who walks through the door if possible. We are new to the area and this clinic in Hickory Creek was closest to me, so I was hoping we would have an urgent care close by in case we needed it in the future. Needless to say, I won't be returning here. The Texas Health Breeze Clinic in Lewisville was twice as far, but was very clean, very personable and professional-worth the trip.
