Urgent Care when it comes to Covid is like a scene from Keystone Cops. Whomever answers the phone doesn't listen and said in her most condescending voice "we don't test just for exposure". Duh if you would of been listening to me instead of chatting with a co-worker, I told you 4 of the symptoms my daughter had and, is obviously more than just exposure. When I first called IMMC in the morning, I was reassured that I could get my daughter a Covid test AND see the doctor. But, upon arrival at IMMC and calling to check in it was like my name was (Typhoid) Mary. Whomever answering the phone this time did not want to have to deal with any of the Covid (lepers) in the community.
As she advised me of 30 minute wait time (so probably 60 minutes) her "Okay" (heavy sigh) was like "bummer another patient to deal with." Definitely going to find another Urgent Care as this is not the quality customer service I usually get from the clinic nor, is it in any sense reassuring or helpful.

Dr. Nicolette Hampton is AMAZING! Her nursing staff is also so wonderful, thoughtful, kind, caring, and they take the time to listen to you. She legitimately cares about her patients' well-being. I remember there was one time she didn't know the answer to one of my questions, so she went home and researched using all of her professional resources, and had her staff call me back with an answer. She's extremely knowledgeable, but she's also honest. In fact, after moving to Idaho Falls, I still book appointments with her and make the drive down after work, since I know I won't find anyone better than both Dr. Hampton and her nursing staff.

When my own PCP wouldn't see me, IMMC stepped up without hesitation. They were kind, professional, timely and showed genuine concern for me. I will return.

I've been a patient here since I was a teenager. I went through my pregnancy here, and my daughter has grown up going here. Dr. Mickelsen and Dr. Nicolette Hampton are amazing. I would never want to go anywhere else. InterMountain Medical Clinic is so caring and professional. LOVE THEM!
