“Went to this location to get a rapid Covid test per my doctor. This is a brand new facility, very clean and well setup. Was greeted very nicely and was directed paperwork to fill out. I went very early since a 24/7 location at 6am. I was the only one there. I was in and out in 57 min with rapid testing results in hand. Very professional folks here.”

“What a great staff! I called ahead of time to see if there was a wait, because we know how it can be on the weekends, and I was informed that there was not. I drove from the IL side and it was worth it. Trust the reviews! Staff was kind and bright eyed & bushy-tailed at almost 3am. Got me in and out without a hiccup and made sure I was extra comfy. HUGE KUDOS!! Thank you!! Also, just to make sure it's mentioned, clean and bright facility. Kids will feel safe here and not startled.”

“Dr. Shah and the team were wonderful to work with. Resisted coming here because we really wanted to go to an urgent care ($ considerations) but was relieved when we came here. They were so good working with our young son, and very friendly with him. The level of care and professionalism they provided was unmatched. Their attitudes were reassuring and caring. THANK YOU to all of them!”

“Best service I’ve ever received from an ER! Every other hospital had hours long waiting time. I was treated right away, before even completing my paperwork. The entire staff was very friendly, and prioritized my care and peace of mind! They thoroughly explained everything to me and provided me with whatever I needed. 10/10 recommend! The only ER I’ll be visiting moving forward.”

“This place is professional, and the staff are very courteous. I am new to the Northwest Indiana area and I’ve visited this place twice. Each experience has been superb. The providers go above and beyond to develop a solution and it is done within a timely manner. There is no sitting in the lobby for three hours, just to go to the triage area for an additional two hours. On each occasion I was completely nervous. However, the staff was able to provide comfort and reassurance. Anytime there is an emergency I will always go here. Keep up the great work!!!”
