Jackson Medical Associates Reviews
I have been to quite a few urgent cares in my life and this one is outstanding. Sydney was phenomenal and took great care of me. You could tell she was really concerned and wanted me to feel better ASAP. I will definitely come back here. If you have any hesitations, don’t they are the best.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jackson Medical Associates, but especially about Taylor Medlin, DNP. She is truly the reason my family chooses this clinic. As a mom of two boys, having a provider who is not only knowledgeable but genuinely caring and compassionate means everything.Taylor makes me feel completely comfortable every time we visit. She listens, never rushes, and always takes the time to explain things in a way that eases my worries. My boys adore her, and she has a special way of making both kids and parents feel understood and supported.She is hands down the best addition to the team at Jackson Medical Associates. We are so grateful for her, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a provider who treats you like family.
I would highly recommend Jackson MedicalSince Covid Delta, September 2021, this wonderful group has help me with some serious issues after covid.
