The sad thing is it is a great concept. The execution of quality care here is sketchy at best. I am posting this based on three experiences for myself personally, and two for my daughter.
I have had one fair experience there (worthy of two stars). I felt like the nurse practitioner (though not a warm person) really wanted to give me the best care she could. She seemed very stand offish but it could be that she's shy. I don't know, but I want to give her the benefit of the doubt. I left with a prescription that did the job. This was a couple years ago. Since then, we have gone four other times, every single time has turned out horrible. Why do we keep hitting our heads against the wall and going back? I guess because I always hope it will have improved. This last visit put the nail in the coffin for us. We won't be going back.
To my daughter--the first time I took her for an unexplained rash that seemed to have started with some sort of insect bite. The NP really did a great job and ended up prescribing her some cream that did wonders. Yeah!
The second time I took my daughter, we had a different NP than the normal one I have seen there. She was arrogant, rude, and completely obnoxious. She told me since my daughter had a cough for so long, that even though her lungs sounded completely clear, she would need x-rays. I was in disbelief. Then she told me according to her chart, she couldn't treat her anyway because we was sick a day longer than they allow them to treat. I did the math on the way to Pediatric Express in Morrisville and she was wrong, she could have treated her. Pediatric Express diagnosed it correctly (bronchitis--what I believed it to be in the first place) and gave her the proper prescription and all was well.
The last time I went here was last week. I clearly had a sinus infection. When you are a chronic sinus infection sufferer--you KNOW. It's not that she doubted it, she just insisted she had to give me something that is known not to work for MY sinus infections. Huh? Why prescribe something for me that I know does not work? I really pushed back to get the proper prescription, but to no avail. I went ahead and filled what she gave me. It ended up making me horribly sick AND my sinus infection got so worse and I had to go to the ER. I told the doctor there the reason the NP at Minute Clinic gave for not prescribing the right meds and she had never heard of it. She did some research and the reason behind her not prescribing it was not at all valid for my situation.
Again, great concept, just horribly executed. Save your time and your money and go elsewhere. You will be glad you did. I think the only thing this place would really be good for is a flu shot. But I don't even believe in getting one of those.
In a nutshell---go at your own risk and be prepared to be disappointed. read more
