“I chose Ridgeview’s virtual urgent care service for the convenience ― no driving and limited wait time for what turned out to be a sinus infection. I was seen right away. The level of care was beyond anything I could have expected and the appointment wasn’t rushed. The provider asked questions and took time to listen to my concerns; he genuinely wanted me to get better.” -Jake W., New Prague Ridgeview’s virtual urgent care service offers a convenient alternative to an in-person visit when you are simply not feeling your best.
