Worst experience ever. I wouldn't take a nyc rat to be treated over here! This place is filthy. They barely speak English. It's hot. No air condition. Ceilings are so low. Windows are closed. Did I mention filthy? Even though I saw all of this, I thought to myself, "this is who my sons regular doctor referred me to since he's on vacation." My sons regular doctor, great person, great doctor, clean place, and he's very reassuring. So why he referred me here? I don't know.
Now I'm inside. Before seeing the doctor, of course the assistant is doing her thing. Vitals, history, etc. the way she took my sons temperature: she stuck the thermometer underneath his arm pit with his shirt on. Read 97.3. "Ok no fever" is what she says. She asks me how tall is he. I say 36inches. She says no that to big. After she checks for herself, behold, my son is 36 inches. She weighs him with his clothes on. She doesn't get a heart rate. She tries to get a history and doesn't even know what we are saying because she barely speaks English. Fine. I'm still saying my sons regular doctor sent me here for a reason. Alas! The doctor finally comes, doesn't do a full assessment, and misdiagnosis him. I tried asking her several questions regarding what she said was the problem. After her reply, she just asked her so called assistant to print out something to explain to me what she diagnosed my son with. At this point, I took my son and left.
I than took my son right away to the pediatric urgent care in Atlantic avenue. Clean, bright, friendly. The assistant came in, took full set of vitals. And guess what?! My sons temperature was 100.3. The doctor came in, did a thorough assessment and diagnosed my son with something other than this woman said. Had I not come to this urgent care, I would of been giving my son the wrong medication. read more
