| - Being totally honest here. I went in on a Sunday, my Dr. wasn't in. That's where the one star comes in for being open on a Sunday! Registered on line so I didn't have to wait in the office, that was 11:00am. The got back to me and said to come in at 1:40. They didn't see me until after 3:00. They say many places in their office to register on line avoid all the waiting yada yada yada. Finally, I was seen and I said I was ill and think I might have had food poisoning, she said we'll give you Ciprofloxacin for a week. I was in there for severe diarrhea (the major side effect from Cipro is... diarrhea). I wasn't aware of that at the time. I also found out I was never seen by a Doctor, it was a nurse fpn who saw me, didn't ask what I ate or anything and prescribed the meds. I told her I didn't know for sure what I have and she said well this is how we treat E coli. I didn't know you could tell you had Ecoli by looking at someone!!! Needless to say I got worse after 3 days I called my dr. who was out of town it was a Friday so I had no choice but to call Nextcare back and said I need to speak to a doctor now. I waited 2 hours for a call back. When you call you do not get directly to the office, it's a call center or something. I told them the diarrhea was worse could they prescribe something different? I waited and waited on the phone finally they said (by the way it was not a doctor I was speaking to it was someone in the office) no you have to finish the antibiotic and also eat a clear fluid diet for the next 48 hours. If not better call your physician to be seen. I was so upset at this point and sick and thinking this is just wrong. I did the clear liquids and finished the meds and honestly I was so sick. I got in to see my family dr. on a Monday he said they don't prescribe something like cipro unless you have been ill like that for about 4 days at least, without testing me they didn't know what they were treating me for anyhow. Then he tells me that if I didn't need Cipro, which he didn't seem to think I did, he thinks it was a stomach flu (viral, not bacterial) you can become seriously ill from taking that antibiotic. You can get Cdif. I won't go into details but it is a very serious condition! So the medicine they gave me made me worse. I am hoping this all clears up for me and just wanted to write this review to let you know before you go in there. Too many mistakes for me, I take my health seriously and I think they should too. I will never go back to this place, never.
