I have been going to forte family practice for a few years now. I have had no bad experiences until today. They often have long wait times but that's expected. If you decide to come to forte family practice DO NOT SEE JOE EAFRATES!! He diagnosed me with bronchitis a couple days ago. Gave me a few prescriptions and said that I'd be better and able to go back to work in a couple days. Was told that if I don't feel better in a couple days to come back. Well a couple days had passed and I felt the same and worse cuz I developed a fever the night before which I didn't have previously. So I came back today. He did not listen to anything I had to say. Argued with me about the fever. I also asked for a dr note extending my time off from work. He left the room but left the door open. I could hear him outside the room talking unfavorably about me. Then gave me a note saying I could return to work tomorrow. I tried to explain I needed more time. That I didn't have the strength to stand for 8 hours and that I worked in the service industry and I couldn't be handing people food and drinks with congestion and coughing up phlegm. He did not care and refused to extend my note. He said "he had more important things to worry about than my note." There was a lot more detail about my visit with him that showcases how unprofessional, unsympathetic, and completely uncaring he is as a medical professional. I think this is enough to show you to avoid treatment from Joe Eafrates, I hope.
