I have been going here for several years. The Dr.(s), techs, and the rest of the staff are VERY competent (in my opinion) and friendly.
I hate to leave this Clinic for another...But I am going to. Why? One reason, without going into great detail, I have developed some health issues that have left me handicapped.
The building, in my opinion, is not very handicap-friendly. If you are in a wheelchair, on a scooter, or even on crutches, good luck even getting thru the 2 entry doors. There is no button to open them automatically.
And once inside, you will find seating in the waiting room uncomfortable (if you are handicapped).
But these are not the MAIN reasons I am leaving. My biggest issue is the fact that patients have virtually NO privacy:
The exam/treatment room is one large space with the exam chairs PARTIALLY separated by portable / NOT SOUNDPROOF "walls".
True...Patients cannot SEE each other, but they can HEAR each other quite well. In other words, if the Dr. or staff members ask you specific questions about ANY of your health issues, meds, etc., patients on both sides of you will EASILY hear the entire conversation. And you will hear THEIR personal stories. Not to mention any sounds of discomfort are also "public".
Your neighbors will ALSO hear your diagnosis, comments like "you need to floss more often", etc., etc. I mean, what good is HIPAA in a public venue?
I never gave any of this much thought until I developed these health issues. But I have decided that I no longer want to share MY personal health issues, meds, etc. with strangers. And I am tired of struggling with the doors. read more
