My experience here was absolutely horrible. I came in with a throat so sore that I could not eat, and could barely drink or talk. The doctor absolutely refused to give me any antibiotics or anything for the pain, and actually suggested that I drink whiskey instead!!! Even after telling her that I'm sober, she did not back down, apologize, or offer any other suggestions. I begged to just be given prescription strength ibuprofen, and I was treated like I was trying to obtain drugs to misuse. I've seen other reviews stating that they treat everyone on Medicaid like this, so obviously it's not an isolated incident.
The next day I ended up calling a nurse hotline, and she was absolutely floored with how I was treated, and the fact that absolutely nothing was done to help me. Now I have to go to the ER, and spend thousands of dollars, just to be taken seriously, and actually helped. The ER told me that if I had waited longer (like urgent care suggested), that I would've been at risk of my throat swelling so bad that I could not breathe. My instructions from urgent care were to "go home and rest." Everyone in the ER was shocked at how poorly I was treated, and the fact that I was refused antibiotics, and pain medicine. Urgent care told me that I was dealing with Covid, even though I showed absolutely no symptoms of it, and all of the symptoms of strep throat. Unsurprisingly, the ER swab came back positive for strep, and negative for Covid.
The staff were very unprofessional, and none of them were grasping the idea that I don't have a car, and couldn't drive anywhere. I was repeatedly told to "just stop by on the way home and pick up some cough drops", and staff completely ignored me when I kept explaining that it wasn't an option. On my discharge papers it says that I was prescribed prescription strength cough syrup, but that's a blatant lie. I was not prescribed anything, and wasn't offered any advice aside from "whiskey and cough drops". The reason for my visit was also stated as "nothing" in my discharge papers. The strep throat swab was done incorrectly, and they didn't even look at my tonsils, or my extremely swollen lymph nodes.
The cherry on top is that I had to wait for an extremely long time while in the exam room. I had to wait alone for about 40 minutes for one test result to come in, and then once it was time to leave, I was told to wait again, and that my papers would just take a second. I waited for so long that I'm pretty positive that they completely forgot about me. I ended up having to find someone, and they got annoyed when I said that I thought I'd been forgotten. Once it was time to leave, staff made me wait in the secluded back parking lot, because "that's where Uber drivers always pick up patients!" The driver could not find where I was, and I ended up being charged a fee because of it, and lost my ride.
Would give a 0/5 if I could. I'm never coming back here, and if you have anything serious going on, it's best to just go to the ER first. Otherwise youll just end up being sent there anyway, after Urgent Care's horrible advice does nothing to help. Make sure to steer clear of Dr Huson, as she is extremely unprofessional, and does not take her patients seriously. read more
