I'm writing this review simply just to warn others of how inefficiently this place is run, and hopefully by reading you'll think about going somewhere else to save yourself the headache that you'll surely get from dealing with these people.
Now... I first went into this location in mid February because I felt extremely ill. The type of sick that totally knocks you on your butt and unable to do anything but lay in bed and be miserable. My husband insisted because of my super high fever that we needed to go to Concentra right away. The lobby was clean, and we only waited about 15 minutes. We dealt with a male staff member(Bill) who was the only one there that had good bedside manner and made you feel like he actually cared. We then waited in the exam room for probably 25 minutes until the doctor came in, which was no big deal. My doctor was Dr Durren, and maybe he was just tired... but he was definitely wanting to be anywhere else but there. He came to the conclusion that he wanted to run tests for the flu, I gave him the go ahead. He warned me that the tests could show up negative, but he felt best to "rule out two strains of the flu". Both tests were negative. Since he couldn't figure out what other illness it could be, he said "I'll just say it's the flu like illness since you have similar symptoms". I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound comforting at all coming from a medical professional. He then prescribed flu meds, and told me to not go to work for several days and to just "let the flu symptoms go away/it could take a week".
I got way worse the next few days, which I told a staff member when they called for their follow-up call. I told him that I would be dropping off some paperwork for Dr Durren to fill out, which is required for my job if you miss a certain amount of time from work.
I dropped off the papers the next day, and tried to explain to the receptionist how important that it is that I get this completed/filled out completely within the allotted time frame I have to have it turned back in, or I would be terminated from my job. I don't recall her exact response, but I received an eye roll and some semi-rude remark about how she couldn't tell the doctor what to do. Now, this isn't a form that only my job requires. It's a state related thing, that they see all the time. She then assured me she'd give it to the doctor, so I left my # with her for her to call me when it's ready to be picked up, and for confirmation purposes when they fax the paperwork to my job(also required).
I received no call, so I called back 2 days later. They couldn't locate the paperwork. I work about 50 hours a week, so taking time out of my day to drop off ANOTHER copy really was an inconvenience.
Another couple days pass, still no call. I call back again, and the person with whom I spoke to was rude and pretty much brushed me off saying that "the doctor will get to it when he has time". Again, I politely reminded her that I will be terminated from my job is this isn't faxed out in time. She assured me it would get done. Another couple days pass, and I finally get a call. She lets me know that what the doctor put on the form(it wasn't filled out right but at this point I just need to turn this stuff in to prove I was sick).. She then tells me she's going to fax it.
Fast forward to about the first week of March. I get an email at work from our main headquarters section that handles work absences and such; my paperwork was never faxed to them.
Luckily, I have a boss that is willing to fight with his higher ups in order to try and save my job.
I was provided with another option; to have Concentra fill out some different type of paperwork. I dropped off the paperwork, and was again reassured the doctor would fill it out and they would call me. Two days pass, so I called them to check on it. They evidently misplaced the forms FOR THE SECOND TIME. The lady sounded frustrated and asked to call me back. These forms also have a due date, so I again stressed how important it is that the doctor looks at it. I didn't get a call back for another 6 or 7 days, so I called them AGAIN. The lady who I spoke to was pleasant, and told me they're ready to be picked up.
Today, I went in to pick them up and be done with this place. The receptionist was very polite and professional, but she had to have me wait while she called her coworker to ask where my forms were since they were no where to be found. Again, the form wasn't completely filled out.
This place turned something simple into a drawn out month and a half long cluster F, and their prices aren't cheap for extra tests that they want to run on you. I was also sick for a full month. That's definitely not the flu; pick doctors to work for your location that actually care about diagnosing a patient correctly. read more
