| - I've seen this doctor a couple of times and I've been to this and other Urgent Care Extra locations multiple times. Here is what happens EVERY SINGLE TIME:
1. You wait for an ungodly amount of time in the waiting room, but that's to be expected.
2. When you get assigned to an exam room, you can hear the staff loudly engage in unprofessional conversations about a wide variety of topics ranging from their weekend exploits to the patients that ARE IN THE EXAM ROOMS. The walls are paper thin.
3. No matter who you end up seeing, a doctor, PA, whoever... here's what will happen. They will do a cursory exam and then tell you they can't provide the services so you need to go to the ER. They will not do a damn thing.
Last night I went in because I've had a fever between 102-107 for the last week. I'm also diabetic. The doctor, who was super condescending and hostile, said he couldn't do anything and I needed to go to the ER because my blood sugar was elevated. Like, no kidding, I'm diabetic, I know my blood sugar is elevated. He said the fever was not related to the blood sugar elevation (Duh) but he still refused to treat the fever.
He refused to treat my fever and said in a super nasty way, "I guess they'll have to treat that at the ER." Then he gave me some paperwork to take to the ER.
Perhaps they are getting some kind of kickback from the various ERs? Also, they must have some corporate rule or business plan where they never actually provide any health care services, but merely funnel patients to the local ERs.
The doctor told my husband that I could die because my blood sugar was high. I'm home now 12 hours later, blood sugar is back to normal, but I still have this damn fever.
Thanks for nothing, Urgent Care Extra!
