Services
Traditional Urgent Care Services: We take care of the unexpected earache at 7pm at night. With our on site x-ray, we can take an x-ray of an injured limb to determine if there is a break in the bone. If there is a broken bone, we can reduce and splint the injury to help healing occur while waiting for an orthopedic referral if needed.
Our providers are certified registered examiners with the FMSA. Our goal is to accomplish your certification efficiently. The new Federal Guidelines require certain testing for certain conditions. We recommend that you come at least three months before your expiration date in case you need further testing or referrals.

Came here for a scheduled vision/hearing test as part of my yearly requirements. Had over an hour wait. Then the hearing test is just in an office with headphones on. These things are so thin you can hear everything going on in the entire building. I was in the back corner office and could hear the receptionist talking on the phone. You can hear everything but the beeps.

Express care for private insurance people and they should advertise that. When you're looking for an express care that means you're looking for fast care usually at odd hours, I've never ran into an express care that only takes private insurances or has lengthy paperwork just for an urgent visit like they're afraid they won't get paid. Their self pay prices are outrageous as well.

About the only thing I can say positive about this experience was at least they didn't charge me for just taking my blood pressure. I went in because I was having extreme pain because of an infected abscess below one of my teeth. I was told they give nothing out for pain relief. I wasn't even offered an aspirin. I was told she could give me… antibiotics, but a lot that was gonna do me right at this moment. I guess she didn't notice that half my face was swollen, my neck was swollen, and I wasn't there long enough to tell her that I was having problems swallowing. She did finally say that

I have had to pre employment drug screens at other places and it is normally a walk in and done in less than 15 minutes at most. I have been sitting in the waiting room for an hour and half waiting. There were only 3 people in front of me when I walked in so at absolute worse case that’s 3 people that could have been taken back before me but again it’s a drug screen, you pee in a cup it takes 5 minutes and they could have had one less person to worry about in their waiting room. Completely absurd.

Had recently been to my usual Drs all tests were good. Felt alittle poorly before work no time for an appointment so went to express care. Christy Kelley may have saved my life ,literally long story short she found a cancerous mass on my kidney and got me an appointment at seitman in st louis immediately. Its still early but i owe my life to her.

The ladies at the office refused to listen to me when trying to explain the problem, then told me I needed a referral but refused to give me one repeatedly. I called multiple times to ask questions or see if they had a referral for me yet and would get a lot of attitude and no helpful response. I just moved here from out of town and work out of state and they are making it impossible for me to get back to work which is severely affecting my livelihood.

When my son's pediatrician moved away, we took him to Express Care for a sinus infection. The staff is wonderful with kids! (He's 6). This is the place to go if you want a common sense practitioner that can handle a variety of different ages and conditions. And I love the walk-in service, especially when you are feeling sick and every minute feels like forever!!

Great people fantastic price. I compared prices to all local facilities that provided the same level of exceptional care and they were less than anyone. They found an illness that had been misdiagnosed by another local urgent care type organization and provided follow-up care. When I go there I'm treated like a person not a number. The wait wasn't long either.

I have used Express care several times for a variety of reasons personally and as an employer. The friendliness of their employees combined with the knowledge they have gathered from real life experiences in the health care industry make them second to none. Nurse practitioner Christy Kelley and Dr. Christine Foster have great people skills, years of hands on experience in emergency/urgent care, and good common sense which unfortunately we all know doesn't come easy in medical settings these days. Check out their website they also offer many services besides treatment for the Ill and injured. You
