While staff at the two newly-acquired locations will remain the same, a new and different service will soon be available. WAHOO (Wait at Home or Office) is NextCare’s wait-at-home check-in service where patients can wait to be contacted for their exam.  

The Waco acquisition follows an October buying spree that added over 10 clinics, including one in Houston, to NextCare’s clinic total.  >>Read more
