Probably the worst facility you could go to. The doctors are constantly being switched up I don't know if they're quitting, or if they're training and just getting better jobs but they disappear. And because of the switching of doctors and everything they can't even keep track of medications that they prescribe and who's prescribing them. If you attend this facility I recommend finding a new physician.

Been going to Primary Care and seeing Dr. Allison Curran for almost a year. I first walked in to bring a friend to her appt and I was immediately taken by how kind she and the other nurses were and how on top of everything they were. I knew I had to switch doctors and I'm so glad I did. Allison is amazingly sweet and kind and always puts me at ease. I feel like I'm visiting a friend sometimes. She's that amazing with people. The nurses deserve as much credit as well. They've always been so sweet and personable. One of the best offices in Joliet.

I've been seeing Allison Curran Nurse Practitioner at Primary Care Joliet. In 2011 I thought I was just having a diabetic seizure. After which I seen Allison Curran Nurse Practitioner who correctly diagnosed me as having a heart attack. Which lead to quadruple open heart coronary artery bypass surgery thus saving my life. Her medical exam is very thorough plus she really listens to you. She has a very professional, truly caring, kind, pleasant personality and a passion for her career.
Her dedication and selflessness shows through along with her sense of humor. She treats you like family. All this combined makes her a number one Doctor and in high demand in my opinion. Plus the receptionists and staff through out the facility are so kind and willing to accommodate you. Also the facility is keep very clean. How can this not be a win win. You need to check it out.

I had been going to see Melisa for years. I got frustrated with the wait times and switched to another GP. Their wait times were so minimal that I usually was back out the door before my scheduled appointment time. However, the trade off for wait time cost me the value of good care. I suppose the reason the other GP's wait times were so quick was because I received poor attention and lack of concern for my problems.
I came back to Melisa because I have come to learn that there is so substitute for quality care. I may be waiting longer but I know that is only because she takes the time to really hear her patient's concerns and work in partnership in diagnosing and treating. The only reason I would leave this practice now is if Melisa relocates.
