Dr. Spontak was so so very kind and helpful. I'm so thankful he was able to find the problem causing my eye pain and he even went the extra mile to reach out to an ophthalmologist for a follow-up appointment. I'm so so appreciative of his help and I'm glad I went to this urgent care center over other facilities.
