Worst experience ever. The nurse practitioner was condescending, uncaring, and worst of all, completely wrong about my condition. After being sick and missing work for three days (sick for a week steady already), I went here and waited an hour and a half. After seeing the check-in person/nurse assistant/cashier, the nurse practitioner comes in resolute to not give me antibiotics. I have a fever, I'm missing work, my whole body aches, my ears are stopped up, and I can't breathe. She declares that "this is viral, you just have to wait 7-10 days, if it turns into a secondary infection then come back and see me again." I'm like, wait , instead of you giving me antiobiotics in case it gets worse, you want me to suffer for another week or two and then COME BACK a second time? She then proceeds into the typical spiel about how antiobiotics are overprescribed, etc. I explain to her that I'm willing to wait a week but that I don't have time to make a second visit. She says coldly, "I'm not giving you antibiotics" like I'm some drug addict begging for oxycontin. So I leave, struggle my way through work for another week and a half, taking more days off, and finally go to another urgent care clinic. Guess what? I HAD PNEUMONIA IN BOTH LUNGS!!! You know, pneumonia, the disease that is deadly if not treated? After researching it, I found that penumonia doesn't just "pop up" , it would've been underway at the time I first was seen. They should revoke her license for incompetence, and send her to sensitivity training for her horrible bed-side manner. Try the urgent care clinic across the street, they were wonderful.
