I recently had a visit to Urgent MD. I originally came there to take a drug test to start work again. Since I have been looking for a new PCP I thought I might as well get seen for my sore throat today as well. I had visited them maybe twice before and never had any problems.
When I checked in I had a question for the receptionist and she couldn't hear me, so she put her hand to her ear... ummm I have a hoarse voice, so that irritated me.
Once I was called back for my sore throat the nurse I had was very helpful. I then told her I also was there for the drug test. I attempted to take it but didn't produce enough urine. So she started giving me water and I waited for the doctor to see me. The doctor comes in and he was pretty cool. He told me what was up and told me what he would do. I was appreciative of him being professional. Things were moving smoothly.
So I'm still trying to drink water to make sure I have enough urine to do this test. I go outside the room but see that the nurse that was assisting me was busy and I started to feel like I needed to go urgently. Two other ladies asked me what I needed and I told them, I need to use the restroom for the drug test. They advised me that other people were ahead of me and I was fine with that. I go back to the room... waited a few minutes but the urgency was getting worse. I come back out the room and see the older lady who told me others were ahead and and she told me someone was in the bathroom. I was gonna say, I'll just go and then wait again because it was URGENT.
The younger nurse says to the older nurse.. "I just TOLD her that!" In the most unprofessional way you could when talking about a patient. First off... I HEARD her when it was said minutes ago but was that supposed to stop the urgency of me having to go to the bathroom at that very moment?! I advised her I did hear her and I wasn't being rude so she should not be as well.
Here is the thing.. ONE PERSON can mess up your entire experience. If you don't have the empathy needed to work with people, GET ANOTHER JOB! I'm not this young lady's child, I'm not a child and I do not work for her and that establishment is not paying me to come there. I have damn good insurance and can find a PCP easily. Do you know about word of mouth?! Do you think I'm not sharing my experience with my friends in this area who are looking for a PCP?! This ONE PERSON destroyed my entire outlook on coming to Urgent MD. On top of that.. I was sick and had to deal with her nasty attitude. It takes balls to make comments like that IN FRONT of a patient/consumer. She clearly does not belong in that environment!
I would have liked to give this place my business, but I guess I'm on a quest to find another PCP. It takes ONE BAD APPLE to spoil the bunch! You really have to be careful how you interact with people, everybody is NOT from this area and not playing them kiddie games!
I gave them a 3 Star because up until that chic.. they were on their game! Upon leaving, I did file a complaint. Don't known if it was taken serious.. but I appreciate them taking the time to listen. read more
