| - If I could rate this experience lower than one star I would. I went in because I was experiencing an extremely sore throat for over a week, my right tonsil was covered in white spots and my right ear felt large amounts of pressure (tmi I'm sorry) I had a fever of 102 every night and I was in bad shape. I explained all of this to the nurse practitioner I saw, I do not remember her name but she was short and had short hair like a guys haircut. She then proceeded to look at my tonsils and my ears. While she was doing so she kept saying " yep you got the crud I'm sorry to tell ya" then said "you have food stuck in your tonsils that is why they are so enlarged and look that way" I told her that I have never heard of food being stuck inside the tonsils. I asked her to give me a strep test, so another lady came in and swabbed my throat but it wasn't your normal throat swab she jabbed the Qtip into my mouth, with an attitude like she was upset to be doing it!(very awkward experience) So 10 minutes later the original practitioner came back in saying it was just a viral cold and sent me off saying there was nothing she could do.
I decided to go to a different urgent care that was down the street and the man I saw was shocked by my tonsils and my ear was filled with fluid and come to find out, I have a severe case of tonsillitis and had to rush to the hospital! I couldn't believe 30 minutes earlier some lady told me it was a virus and that I had FOOD in my TONSILS.
If you care about your family, your children, your friends, just people in general, DO NOT GO HERE. You will be told ludicrous statements and have your sickness/pain swept under the rug, so they can shove "viral infection" down your throat.
I will never go here again, and I hope to god that the woman who told me I have food in my tonsils reads this and gets her license taken away because she absolutely does not deserve to be a practitioner. I am also giving her the benefit of the doubt, that she is actually ignorant and doesn't know better. I really don't want to think she purposely lied to me.
