So nobody likes going to urgent care, especially me. But taking a 19-month-old baby to urgent care is never pleasant experience. But I did it anyway because my son woke up with green goo dripping from his eyes. Needless to say I called they excepted my insurance and there was no wait time. So it started off pleasant. I arrive and the office is clean and smells fresh! That's always a plus. I give the receptionist all my sons info and I get places in an exam room instantly!
Sooo far so good.
The nurse takes my sons temp and history and then within 5 minutes the FNA?¿ comes In.. What is that title? Is that a doctor? Is that a nurse practitioner? I have no clue! He asks about my son current fever which I clearly put in the history that has not had four days. When I politely correct him and say that he's presenting complaint is not the kind of gave me a dirty and condescending look. I wasn't too happy. We proceeded to go over my son history of allergies as well as atopic dermatitis and eczema. So far other than the rude comments and bad luck this is going as if it's a normal office visit. Then we start getting to the nitty-gritty. The doctor or Fna (whatever that is)asks about his vaccine history. I Explain I have chosen not to vaccinate him right away because of his allergies and he's not around any other children at the moment. Holy battle of Jericho! (Insert trumpet sounds here and war drums.) The (whatever the gentleman was) said " is he here?! Is he out of the house!" I kindly look at him and I smile and say yes he is I'll vaccinate him later. A little background on me I've been in the veterinary medical business for over 10 years. iPhone three hospitals and currently own other animal business real related. I know about vaccines and I know about immune response and I also know that it's not a good idea to vaccinate a baby who has an exorbitant amount of allergies. At that point he continues with the exam, is very direct but nice and tells me the diagnosis. He gives me meds and I leave. It wasn't horrible and it wasn't great. He seemed to be a good doctor but too direct and abrubdt. He needs and be a little more personable . But I'll go back if I have to.
As far as price, they except my insurance so I can't complain. And the staff was great.
