NMC Health | Immediate Care

Great service. Kind, compassionate staff.

I recently took my toddler son here because he had been very sick for more than 24 hours. We fought the clock to get there before they closed and I felt terrible that I showed up at 5:30pm when they close at 6. Still, the whole team took the time they needed with my boy to make sure we got to the bottom of what was going. We saw Tina Wuthnow, who had the utmost patience for my son when he refused to let her see his throat and started biting the tongue depressor and clenching his mouth shut.

He was eventually tested for strep throat and COVID-19, based on his symptoms. While those tests are difficult to administer on a 2-year-old who is already terrified of the mask and gown the doctor wears, Tina was calm and took care of us. While I was getting to be a bit frustrated, she remained calm and chipper, trying to encourage my son to cooperate.

It took less than an hour for the check-in, exam, to gather the tests and to run those tests and get results. It would have taken far less time had my son not made it difficult to swab his throat or nose.

I was highly appreciative that they didn't try to rush us out and send us anywhere else. I've been to other places that would have done that. I also was super pleased that they had us in and out of there quickly and home in time for dinner.

So grateful for this extraordinary care we have here in Newton - and that we have an option that has been a staple in our community for years. I can't recommend them enough - especially if you have young children. Go see Tina!!! She's the absolutely BEST!
