Total Access Urgent Care Recognized for Outstanding Service by Mother of Four with History of Cancer

ST. LOUIS - March 20, 2013 - PRLog -- With medical facilities in St. Louis, Rock Hill, and Chesterfield, Total Access Urgent Care takes pride in providing high quality, efficient, and personalized medical services. Total Access is comprised of a team of family practice and emergency medicine practitioners and their caring staff of medical professionals. Each location is open every day of the year from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Total Access understands that many medical issues are urgent matters that simply cannot wait and appointments are never required. Recently, one of Total Access Urgent Care’s loyal patients was so happy with the service she received that the busy mother of four took the time to write a testimonial in which she expressed her gratitude to the warm staff at Total Access Urgent Care. In the testimonial, she stated:

“The staff at Total Access Urgent Care at McKnight & Manchester Road has become a trusted, valued resource as well as a member of our family. I have a history of cancer, and I have four children. Between cancer and chemotherapy-related ailments and the creeping crud, sniffles, coughs, wheezes, falls and allergies that accompany four school-age children, we are frequent visitors to Total Access. Dr. Matt Bruckel has saved my life three times: once when I had a deep-vein thrombosis in my neck that I thought was sleeping awkwardly; once when following a cycle of blood thinners, I got a cut that wouldn’t stop bleeding; and once when I had pneumonia that I thought was a mere cases of seasonal Missouri allergies.

"The doctors at Total Access have treated my children for asthma, bronchitis, anaphylactic reactions to peanuts, and they have stitched me up several times following various mishaps. Once of the doctors discovered that what I thought was an infected wound was actually an allergic reaction to Neosporin, a discovery which has since allowed for better treatment of my frequent wounds and something none of my other doctors ever mentioned.

"There is essentially no wait time at Total Access – we’re seen to an exam room as soon as we complete registration, which is a very short, easy process. Total Access’s fees are less than those my general practitioner charges. The facility also has on site X-ray and CT scan equipment. My regular doctor has to send me to a hospital for X-rays and CTs. Over the past few years, we’ve seen the same core staff, which is an added bonus. Dr. Bruckel and his staff have come to know me and my family, which better enables diagnoses.

"At Total Access, Dr. Bruckel and his staff provides medical knowledge equal to that of St. Louis’s acclaimed hospital emergency rooms in a comfortable, sterling, friendly atmosphere. Another perk is that Total Access offers medications, which spares me an additional trip to the pharmacy. And still further, Total Access is open from 8 to 8 everyday, even Sunday! It’s easy for me to get to Missouri Baptist Hospital or Barnes-Jewish Hospital, but unless my head is hanging by a sinew or I’ve got one of my arms or legs in a cooler on ice, when I need medical treatment, my first stop will always be Total Access Urgent Care at McKnight & Manchester Road. I quite literally trust my life and those of my children to Dr. Bruckel and his staff.” – Crystal L.
