| - The former tenant was Blockbuster...which has since been renovated as a nice comfy clean Urgent Care PIus... sprained my wrist when I tripped and landed on on it while gardening. It was was quite swollen and painful, So I came in on a Friday morning at 9:30 am,,, and had to fill out the usual paperwork and paid my $50 deductible. There was one person getting treated and after 20 minutes, it was my turn.Suddenly lots of people came in... It could've been a long wait had I arrived an hour later. Since it was 102 deg. outside, people seemed content waiting in an air conditioned place.
The young Medical Assistant (MA) looked like he was one of the skateboarders on any city street..but he was actually quite professional and upbeat, asking questions about my injury and taking vitals quickly. The doc came in, and said that an x ray was needed, The MA was also the x ray tech and was quit good at explaining what I had to do. It took no more than 10 min. for that. He put a custom made splint on my wrist, explaining what he was doing and how to take care of it and my injury. I kinda sweated waiting for results of the x ray. A fracture could mean a cat, surgery, and/or a long road.
In 5 minutes...the doc came in and said the x rays showed no fractures.He prescribed Tramadol....though I may not use it. Advil is fine. Overall this was a quick and easy experience. Hope not to come back, but I would if I had to.
