I walked in feeling hopeful that I was going to get some help, and left feeling nothing but frustration. I went in there because I had been vomiting for two days, getting frequent headaches, and had a fever; all he did was tell me that I had bronchitis. How the hell those symptoms led to that diagnosis is beyond me. As a new patient to that practice I figured my medical history would be reviewed, it wasn't. All he wanted to know was my age, my last period, and if I thought I was sick. (Because apparently having the chills, a runny nose, and fighting the urge to puke is a sign of great health) I was never asked if I was currently taking any medication, which doesn't make much sense - especially if they plan on prescribing you something new. He didn't put a cover on the otoscope before he put it in my ear (which I didn't realize until after he used it) which is disgusting and I believe an OSHA violation. He had a very think accent that I had a hard time understanding and he seemed to get impatient when I asked him if he could repeat himself. When I asked him why I kept vomiting he didn't say anything other than ""Eat some crackers."" I must've spent a grand total of 5 minutes with him in the exam room before he opened the door to signal the end of the visit. I spent more time filling out the paperwork! All in all, none of my questions were answered and no real advice was given. I feel like going there was a complete waste of time, not to mention $60 for the office fee. I could've gotten more questions answered using the internet, and I could've saved some money. I wouldn't recommed that place to anyone.
