My dad looked up a physician that used to be at this clinic MANY many years ago, and for some reason, it brought up 1st Care instead of her current practice. I was in so much pain, I figured it was close and it didn't matter.\n\nWRONG. I saw Dr. Chettri for nearly a year, and this diminutive little man with a terrible attitude was a misogynist of the worst kind. He continuously inferred and told me that my ailments were in my head. When he finally sent me for x-rays, nothing showed up, and he extremely grudgingly gave me Tylenol 3, with a humiliating speech about drug addiction and basically telling me he didn't think I needed it at all. In the meantime, my condition worsened so greatly that I could no longer walk 1/4 mile without my back spasming, or \"locking up,\" and the pain was too great to walk any farther. Dr. Chettri continued to treat me as if I were a simple little woman and it was all in my head. Eventually he finally sent me to the CORE Institute, where I saw a spine surgeon and was sent for an MRI. \n\nIt turned out I have degenerative disc disease, a bulging disc, and a herniated disc. The spine surgeon at CORE Institute sent me to physical therapy, and when that exacerbated the problem, I was referred to a pain management doctor, and I switched primary care physicians, thank God. \n\nEvery single time I went to 1st Care Family Medical, I was treated like a second class citizen. The office is FILTHY--disgusting!! The receptionists are inundated with calls and work. Nearly every time I went, I wanted to leave, but it was easier than urgent care and frankly, I was worried the next clinic I went to might be worse (if that's even possible). One tech is very nice and professional; the other is easily flustered and doesn't seem to know how to interact with women. That may be part of his cultural upbringing, though, and he was never disrespectful. \n\nI would never, ever recommend anyone go to this clinic. Dr. Chettri is a shameful, misogynistic jerk, and my condition was prolonged and worsened because I subjected myself to this awful clinic."^^ . "1"^^ . .
