WORST URGENT CARE EVER!
Please read the entire post and save yourself!!!!! I would give negative 10 starts if I could!
If you're considering going here, RECONSIDER!! I went in to see someone due to symptoms I was having. I had unquenchable thirst (Drinking about 25 bottles of 16.9 fl oz water a day), excessive urination (using bathroom about 30 times during the day, and about 15 times during the night), complete loss of energy, blurry vision within a matter of a week or so, and other symptoms. When I came in, the receptionists weren't very welcoming. Just had me sign the form and told me to have a seat. I waited about 20 minutes with not a single patient being there. When I got to see the doctor, I asked him about these issues. His advice was the absolute worst I've ever heard. He told me to drink less water, and that would lead to me using the restroom less. Thats the only issue he acknowledged. How am I supposed to drink less water if my body is literally being dehydrated ? He kept walking towards the door and had it opened several times while I was asking other questions. He seemed as if he just wanted to get out of that room with me. Anyways, I paid the ridiculous $175 fee for that stupid advise and went back to work. 2 weeks or so later, I ended up in the hospital and was diagnosed with Type one Diabetes. The nurses and doctors at Harborview Hospital were in disbelief as I am in shape, have a healthy diet, exercise routinely, and have a healthy lifestyle. I do not drink alcohol, no history of drugs, or any bad habits. Not a single blood relative of mine have ever had diabetes, which led to more confusion from the doctors. Anyways, My blood sugar was well over 600. My entire family was scared for my life as I should have been in a diabetic coma. Doctors told me if I waited any longer, it would have been much more severe. The doctors took a lot of blood samples, did a whole bunch of different tests on me, and told me that all of the symptoms I've been having for the past few months was due to pre-diabetes. If the doctor at the urgent care had just checked my glucose level, I would have known that I was pre-diabetic and would have adjusted my life even more to try to get this fixed. It literally would have taken the doctor a mere 30 seconds to check my glucose levels, but he was "too busy" to tend to my issues. This is malpractice. I do not have health insurance, so I had to pay the stupid $175 fee at the urgent care, got stuck with nearly a $7,000 bill from the hospital, more from the physicians, and on top of that, I have to spend thousands on medication, doctors visits, and more. We went to urgent care to try and save some money and get some knowledge as to why these symptoms were happening, and ended up in debt due to the malpractice of these so called "doctors". Due to this clinic, I now have to live with a chronic illness for the rest of my life, and I'm only 24 years young. All could have been avoided if the doctor did his job! I will be seeking legal representation in order to make sure this never happens to anyone else! read more
