Expect a 3 plus hour wait to be seen in urgent care, not worth the “convenience” of being in town. Make the drive to Waterloo urgent care and save yourself the wasted time.

I went to the ER here with an injury to my ribs and difficulty breathing. I was very happy with the service. I was seen quickly, the care was high quality, and all of the staff were friendly and very personable. My concerns were taken seriously and the PA (Jill) was very helpful when it came to addressing my needs. Overall, I think I was in and out in less than an hour. I would definitely go back here for any future emergencies I have. Edit: I went here again to their urgent care facility. Once again, I was very happy. The nurse and provider were courteous, as was the reception staff and I was seen quickly. It was not an emergency (just an urgent care situation), so when it took longer to get results from some tests than anticipated, they filled a prescription for me and told me I could go home and they would call with further instructions when they got the results of the tests. I would also like to add that the onsite pharmacy here (Ryan Pharmacy) is amazing. I walked down the hall from the urgent care center to the pharmacy and they had my prescription by the time I got there. No wait time at all. They also have an onsite cafeteria that actually has relatively decent food, coffee, etc. So if you do get stuck waiting? You can grab some coffee or a bite to eat. Buchanan County Health Center is an amazing resource to have in a small town!

Patient Diagnoses: -POTS -Hashimoto's Disease -Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) -Herniated stomach "Patient is just depressed and needs to drink more water." Disgraceful how BCHC has treated my family members over the years. It's no wonder I went 30 years myself with undiagnosed asthma. This medical center is negligent and harming patients by not taking their concerns seriously.
