Rockwall Rapid Care Reviews
It was quick to do paperwork and check-in online. Love the option to stay in the car if you don't want to go inside. Nurse & doctor were thorough in their questions and evaluating symptoms. Quick results for strep test, and I had a text alert from my pharmacy that the RX had been submitted by the doctor before I even made it out of the parking lot. Always a great experience here.
Excellent and friendly service. Wonderful doctor and I got in and out so quickly.
Fast and convenient. Thank you for seeing me today!!
My family goes to Rockwall Rapid Care every single time we get sick. They rarely have a wait, and they’re so professional, friendly, and always willing to help. I can’t recommend them more. They’re the chick-fil-a of urgent care. They need to give classes on how to be efficient and fast while still providing top quality care. They’ve done everything from treating us for Covid, flu, strep throat, and sinus infections to mono testing, dislocated knee caps and diagnosing my daughter’s broken toe. They do it all and make sure every patient feels important and well cared for. If your family needs quick, easy, and professional care, this is definitely the place.
So quick, so fast, so efficient. I'll be using them again for sure

About UsBreathing Problems FAQs
Can anxiety or stress cause breathing issues?
Yes, anxiety and stress can lead to shortness of breath or hyperventilation. However, it's crucial to rule out medical conditions as the cause. You should consult Dr. Fieldsmith for an accurate diagnosis.
Can exercise improve my breathing issues?
Exercise can indeed improve lung function and overall respiratory health. Activities like cardio workouts or aerobic exercises can increase lung capacity and stamina, making it easier to breathe. However, it's crucial to consult a healthcare provider before beginning a new exercise routine, especially if you have chronic breathing issues.
Is it normal for breathing issues to worsen at night?
Yes, some respiratory conditions like asthma can worsen at night due to factors such as cooler air or exposure to allergens in bedding. This phenomenon is known as "nocturnal asthma." If you notice breathing issues intensifying at night, consult Rockwall Rapid Care for proper diagnosis and treatment.
