I had a great experience with Dr. Sthay. He was very attentive, took time to explain the problem and the treatment and answered all questions. Would recommend him to my friends.
Tip: don't visit on a weekend. Quite a backlog when I arrived. The doc was fine but the front desk seemed confused about my check-in details and processing my insurance. They said they don't ordinarily use ZocDoc for booking. If you live in Uptown and need to see a doc on the fly, this is a convenient place w/ weekend hours.

Saw Dr. Hitchcock. She provided me with crutches and referred me to an Orthopedic doctor to get an MRI. What I expected.

Verified patient
He was very nice
I was actually seen by a different doctor here at Doctors Express, but the nurse and doctor were great, both efficient and friendly, I arrived 30 minutes early and they actually got me in and on my way with a prescription only 5 minutes after my original appointment time.

Good.

I had to wait for an hour and a half before doctor showed up. Probably he was attending to another patient, but I had to wait too long. But, when he saw me, he was nice and informative.
Highly professional!
Verified patient
