Check-In was easy on the Healow app.
Check-In was easy on the Healow app. Dr. Odina always listens well and is kind. Special shout out to the ladies in the lab! They were very patient with my child when she was afraid of doing her blood work.

they gave me one right away.
The staff at Royal Palm Beach is incredible! Apparently, they don’t take walk-ins. I had to call to make an appointment, but I ended up going in anyway and they gave me one right away. We saw Dr. Yvette Braynen, who was super professional and kind. I have a young girl who’s almost 18, and I’m trying to prepare her to be a responsible adult. I know she’ll figure it all out on her own, but the staff was so supportive!

the location is nice.
We did a health check for my son’s the VPK at the location and I was really surprised to see bad reviews. The location is nice, front desk is straight to the point and helpful, we were seen within 10-15 min of arrival, which is super rare, and lady still apologized for the wait. Nurse were very professional and good with kids so my son relaxed and trusted her right away, doctor Yvette took her time and gave us full attention and care. Thank you guys for your professionalism and care. One little suggestion; please fill up sanitizer disposals devices in waiting area, if possible. Thank you
