Absolutely love Lyssa as my main provider and the nurses are always so kind! I also have had to use Urgent care recently and Kerri was so sweet and patient with my fogginess. I'm so thankful we have this clinic and I don't have to drive out of town for an urgent care.

I'm so thankful I found this place. My doctor in Hot springs never bothered to run specific tests if needed, I never received a call back about my blood work.This clinic pretty much handles anything. The nurse practitioner I see is awesome.
