I normally do not write good or bad reviews, however today I was treated not as a nursing professor but, a drug addict. I admit I have had to go to Medhelp in Pelham several times over this past year with respiratory infections of some sort. I have a tendency to have an awful cough day and night and the only thing that works is a cough medicine yes with (omg a narcotic). Dr. Wever's nurses and staff are wonderful but today he treated me as if I was only seeking drugs. I am writing this at 3:30am because I got prescribed "pearls" which are the equivalent to taking a tic tac so, I am awake coughing. This bodes well for my nursing students tomorrow. I realize there are people just wanting drugs and, if that was the case, I could get better drugs outside of the office if I wanted. I was there for help with this cough and, to listen to my lungs, Dr. Wever barely touched the stethoscope to my back ( in just two places) and two on the front. Never asked me to take a deep breath or even looked at my throat. He made his mind up I was only there for a tiny bottle of cough medicine, that would not get me far if my goal was to get high. I love paying a co-pay and to take time off work to be viewed the way I was, and to still be up coughing. I also didn't appreciate his nurse being the one to tell me he did not prescribe me any cough medicine. That was not her responsibility to explain why he chose not to treat my cough appropriately.
The front staff and all nurses there are absolutely wonderful and this review does not reflect on them in any way.
I work in healthcare and I know we all get skeptical but sometimes, just sometimes, patients need to be treated as an individual that comes in for help but instead leaves feeling worse than when they came in.
