Physicians Immediate Care

I cannot stress enough how much I hate this doctor office. I absolutely do no trust their judgment. After an awful experience in 2014, I vowed never to return. Then I got sick this week and after 4 days out of work decided I needed to see a doctor. I was especially worried about pneumonia, my boss having had it less than two weeks before:
10:34am– arrive at office
10:50am– called in to exam room by nurse. He swabbed my nostrils and told me he wanted to rule out flu
11:42am– «Dr.» enters exam room and apologizes for long wait. She then tells me I probably have a cold because my fever is now quite the 101.5 she is accustomed to seeing in flu patients.
I say: «well what about the flu test?» She replied: «we can run a flu test but I really don’t…» I interject: «the nurse swabbed my nostrils and said it was a flu test!»
She then tells me that he nurse didn’t indicate on the chart that he’d run a flu test so she didn’t know about it and would go find the results.
(Remember I’m on day 4 out of work with the flu! I’m very sick and have zero energy, so I let the fact the I waited nearly an hour in an exam room for no reason)
I can hear dr. and nurse talking in next room. There seems to be confusion about whether test was positive for «both A and B?» Needless to say I have the flu! Sure glad I paid a co-​pay to find that out. All I really wanted to know is if I had pneumonia and I’m not even confident that I don’t. I was told to come back in 10 days if cough persists.
The 2014 story is even more aggravating. I was glad to find out the «Dr.» I saw back then is no longer in the office’s employ, as I told the receptionist I would refuse to be seen by him again.
Incidentally, the receptionist was wonderful.

I’ve been here twice and have been very satisfied with the experience both times. They are clean, comfortable, friendly and fast. Both times that I’ve gone, I’ve been able to get in and see the doctor in under 20 minutes.
They don’t accept my insurance, and uninsured, an office visit costs around $ 100, which I think is very reasonable given that you’ll see someone right away. (Of course it’s much less expensive to go to someone in my network, but my regular doctor usually can’t see me within a month of calling to schedule an appointment.)
I’d recommend writing down anything that you want to ask the doctor before you go in because the visits are very quick and you’re likely to forget something. However, if you just need to get in to see a doc or get a prescription, it’s a safe bet that you will find this office pleasant and accommodating.

If you would like to wait for an hour (with no one else in the queue ahead of you), wait for another half-​hour in the office, not get your test results for a week, have no access through the «web portal», be hung up on by the manager, by all means, go here.
