| - Easily the worst clinic I have ever been to. I went there twice--both times for very simple problems--and both times were a waste of my time and money.
The more recent visit was for an eye infection. I explained to the doctor that this is a fairly regular occurrence for me--it happens about once a year, and I have been treated for it in the past in another state. After some trial and error with my previous doctor, we found one medication (out of three or four) that works. I requested that specific medication, waited quite a while... but received a prescription for something entirely different. I made the mistake of thinking "well, the doctor knows best." Two days later, my eye is twice as bad. I've missed two days of work and will probably miss two more when this would have cleared up had he just prescribed what works. Today I will be going somewhere else--hopefully somewhere that listens to the patient.
To top it off, though: when he was evaluating me, he looked in my ear and mentioned "excessive wax buildup." My previous trip to this clinic had been a month prior... to get my ears cleaned. I knew they had done a poor job with that, but was surprised to hear that they botched it so badly that their own doctor was now commenting on it.
Granted, the facility is clean, the people are nice... from the reviews I've read, it's a good place to go in and be given a general antibiotic. But from my experience, I would strongly recommend avoiding Urgent Care on Tropicana for anything else.
