A couple of years ago that I got strep throat twice with a month apart from each time. First time, I went to urgent care as it was getting worse and got my prescription but costed me over $200 for it.
When I got it the second time, because I felt my throat started feeling sore like the first time and thought to go to see Linker, as I thought it would be cheaper to go to him and he would do a swab test like they did.
It should have been simple, but Linker was being stubborn and said I was fine and noticed anything wrong, even though I tried to tell him how I got it the first time and it felt how it started the last time. The man just huffed at me, walked fast out of the room and finally came back with the swab test. And you know what? He ate his own words and I was right and finally got my prescription and started taking better precautions about catching strep.
Bottom line: my parents seem to like him, but to me he's not a good doctor at all to me: he has an ego, gives generic advice, and doesn't give proper help for much of anything. Plus his bedside manner is pretty bad. I wait so long to see him, and then he talks to you and it's over in five minutes!
Even recently when I was walking out the door, I tried to talk to him about some sore muscles, but he just nods his head and then says goodbye. Seriously, I need to find a different doctor. read more
