Primary Health Medical Group Downtown

Really good spot for a quick doctors visit. Low to no wait times, good nurses. I’ve been there for a chest cold and a sliced open finger.

I have visited this facility for two different types of medical issues in the past year. I cracked my knee cap in the Spring of 2013, and I dealt with a spider bite in the spring of 2014. In terms of availability at a time of need, they are almost matchless. But in terms of care, there are some thing to be desired. I felt good about my initial visit regarding a spider bite, but on a follow up two days later the PHYSICIANS ASSISTANT pronounced my wound looked ‘amazingly better’ and despite my concern that there was still a great deal of swelling of my leg and a really ugly wound. insisted that I just ‘finish the antibiotic’ and I’d be fine. I managed to get in to see my own doctor later that day and found out I’d been placed on the wrong antibiotic (despite my telling the PA half a dozen times I’d dealt with MRSA in the past). Not only that but the wound was so ugly that my doctor sent me to the wound care clinic at the Elks– where I’ve since wound up with a 1″ hole in my leg that is requiring the use of a wound vac for healing.
I truly appreciate that there ARE great PA’s (and NP’s) in the world of medicine– but this is twice now where things have not been properly addressed (my knee x-​ray in 2013 was initially read incorrectly which lead to a call for an immediate return to the clinic for immobilization of the limb and crutches). From this day forward, for anything more than a strain, sprain, or culture for strep throat. I will NOT be doing any business with Primary Health.
