With the opening of our new Providence urgent care in #AnaheimHills, Dr. Christian Lising shares his gratitude: "It has been an incredible two months. Patients have told me how there are very few urgent cares around so we are so excited to be here and serve the community. We've had a chance to meet so many parents and students of nearby Canyon, El Camino Real, and Yorba Linda High Schools and the reception has been so generous. I'm very proud of our team for the connections we've already made and look forward to many more."
