DO not ever go to this "doctor". I'm not one to use Yelp for more than food, but if I can keep…read morepeople from seeing this doctor , I will. by word of mouth, yelp, whatever.
My story:
I don't have health insurance, this doctor knows I'm paying out of pocket, and that I was about to move, (basically saving money) and came to this expensive doctor because store bought med wasn't helping.
I had (still have) horrible ear pain. I came in, waited a really long time for this doctor, she comes in and says only, "how long have you had the pain?" no hello, no how are you, no smile. She checks my ears and throat and goes,"sinus infection". I'll give you some medicine, I'm like, i've had sinus infections for years, I KNOW thats not what this was. She says my ears are dry, and puts some cream in my ears . (ill get to the cream later)
She offers a steroid shot to help with my 'sinus infection'...I say ok....not knowing the cost, but I know she knows I'm trying to be cost effective here. so i dont worry.
I ask another question about my mouth, she literally says, I don't know, put some moisturizer on it" and walks out. That was my , MAYBE 5 minutes with her.
I get my bill 2 weeks later.....I am charged 200$ for the shot, and 31$ for the bit of cream she put in my ear....that cream from CVS costs 20$ for a WHOLE TUB!
So I paid almost 400$ to wait 45 mins to have 5 minutes with a doctor who was rude, and I'm still sick.
Thanks Dr McGowan! I really appreciate your wasting my time and my money.
OH! and get this, my mom was really pissed about this, so she calls to say, hey, this dr. was really rude to my daughter, (she had recommended her to me) and all they say is, oh im sorry, she had just came back from a major surgery. maybe she wasn't in a great mood.
i wish doctors could give you your money back.
