She ended up jabbing multiple fingers, kept squeezing the finger to get blood, couldn't get it into the tiny glass tube so she probed and scraped the tube over the cut for several minutes. It was excruciating. Then she couldn't work the machine that does the check so she did it all over again. Blood everywhere on the counter and sink. She forgot to give me a gauze pad to stop the bleeding. Told me to just grab one myself. Forgot to put a band aid on and apologized for that too. Dropped stuff. And after all that, blamed the machine because she didn't know how to work it, so all this was for naught. I'll have to do it all over again, definitely somewhere else. I'm pretty shocked, because last year I had a good experience here. But this hire was clearly not vetted by the hiring staff. She is a complete disaster.

The clinical staff seemed to be going through the motions. The Medical Assistant's initial question, a generic 'How are you?' while I was clearly presenting with a hacking cough, in an URGENT CARE clinic, felt insincere and failed to establish any rapport. It was a clear, standardized greeting, demonstrating a lack of acknowledgment of my current symptom, and it made me feel like another number in a busy clinic. I don't matter to them. During the intake process, the Medical Assistant demonstrated poor clinical listening skills and communication regarding the detailed medical chronology for which I was visiting the Urgent Care clinic, and gave me a grossly inaccurate summarization of my history, suggesting a lack of attention to detail that is concerning in a healthcare environment. The physical environment of the exam room was alarming, especially for an urgent care facility. The ceiling vent and the adjacent wall had a significant visible buildup of black particulate matter/dust. This represents a concerning failure to maintain a hygienic clinical environment, particularly where patients with respiratory illnesses are being treated. When I pointed out the excessive buildup on the vent, the Medical Assistant engaged in inappropriate professional commentary, attempting to shift blame to the cleaning team by stating, 'because we lease the space, they just will not clean it 'no matter how many times we ask.' This kind of disclosure of internal operational frustrations is highly unprofessional and reinforces the perception that the clinic accepts unsanitary conditions. This was deeply concerning, particularly given that I was seeking treatment for a persistent respiratory issue. I just had to throw in a "And I guess you can't just jump up there and wipe it off yourself" joke. It wasn't a joke. Physician Assistant, Aris de Vries' response to my expressed frustration with the Medical Assistant's poor listening skills compounded the already poor experience. Rather than addressing the communication failure of the Medical Assistant, the PA deflected responsibility by stating she was new and advising me to "show her grace." Furthermore, he diminished the importance of providing a comprehensive history by suggesting I "didn't need to give her as much detail." I am 57 years old. I've had cancer, a thyroidectomy and a brain tumor removed. NOBODY has ever spoken to me like that in any doctor office. And he is just a PA-C. Goodness. I selected this Urgent Care location SPECIFICALLY to get a chest x-ray. Novant Health-GoHealth Urgent Care's website for their Rocky River location shows an x-ray icon under the "Services" section. But, PA-C, de Vries informed me that I would need to travel to a separate facility, down the street, to get the x-ray. When I expressed immense frustration about that, and the misleading information on the website about X-ray services being available on-site, PA-C de Vries acknowledged the issue by stating he had previously raised concerns with management about the "limited X-ray capabilities" at this location--again, unnecessarily disclosing internal operational problems. And showing no empathy for a patient's frustration. Finally, when I repeatedly asked to have the address for the x-ray facility (that he had in his hand!) so I could put an end to the disappointing visit, the PA-C disregarded my request and INSISTED on extending the interaction to "counsel" me through my frustration. His refusal to simply provide the address and allow me to leave demonstrated a profound lack of respect for my time and autonomy. To say that PA-C de Vries is a robot devoid of generosity for a patient's needs would be generous. He is someone in need of some training. Overall, this visit was marked by a complete lack of attention to patient detail, misleading information about core diagnostic services, and a failure to maintain basic hygiene standards. I strongly recommend that the clinic address staff training in professionalism and communication, improve transparency regarding services like X-rays, and immediately correct the alarming maintenance issues. The front desk staff was ok.

The front desk rep said that it would be 2 to 3 days I called on the third day and was told that the results were in but a nurse had to call me back to tell me information. No one ever called me back and I don't think that I should have to call several times just to get lab results. I have not been feeling well and it derailed my time of treatment if anything is going on because I'm not told if there's any results or if there will be medication given or anything like that. It is upsetting that I am not getting proper care in a timely manner. Someone should be returning calls to patients as results are coming in.

There are some other ladies in the office who come across as abrupt, rude and just generally unhappy people. No warm fuzzy going with them at all. The nurse who takes you back to the room is nice enough BUT she is usually in such a hurry that when she asks you questions, she lets you get out a few words before she cuts you off and doesn't let you finish your statement. I am no chatty Kathy. I will answer a question succinctly with the information you need. Please don't cut me off. First, how RUDE and second, it ended up taking even more time because I had to repeat what I had started saying and then finish my statement for her to have the information she needed. How did the rudeness save time? It didn't. Thankfully Drs. Fix and Eckel are AWESOME. I am difficult to get a correct lense because I really need a stronger RX than I have but it gives me headaches so we have to work and find what will work for me. I've seen both doctors over the years but have stuck with Dr. fix overall because she has found the knack for getting the right RX strength for me. So ultimately, I keep coming back because the doctors are fantastic but if it weren't for them, I would go somewhere else because the front staff just make me feel like an imposition when I come in. Maybe that is completely unintentional on their part but I'd like them to be aware of how the make people feel. I'm thick skinned but how about the elderly or people going thru tough times...they don't need to be made feel like that. I only took off one star for that.
