1 /5 Monique deGroot: I’ve been here a few times & it was great. I got there around 7:20am. 1 patient was leaving. Sat in the empty lobby till 8am. Paid my copay. Was taken back. They weighed me and put me in a room for another 15 minutes. When the nurse came in, he was wearing a blue puffer jacket. Friendly, no name tag, looked in my throat with a light, then stood over 4 ft away from me. Didn’t feel my neck which was totally swollen, didn’t look at my ears or nose. He didn’t even have a stethoscope to check my chest or my back if I was wheezing or had fluid in my lungs. Left the room came back and said they had no more strep tests so he couldn’t do that test? I told him my symptoms. I thought I might have food poisoning, but my throat was killing me maybe from the acid of throwing up for the entire day? I could barely swallow. He asked me to come back if I still wasn’t feeling well, but I said what if I am sick, the weekend was coming up & I wouldn’t have time. If he could just give me some antibiotics if I started feeling worse. He also prescribed me a steroid, and some lidocaine gel for my throat. I know nothing about steroids, so I picked them up at the pharmacy but I didn’t use them. He never explained what that was for anyway. Then left the room. It felt look like he just walked off the street and into the room. It’s 2 days later now and I still feel terrible. I started taking the antibiotics. Not sure what I have, but that certainly didn’t make me feel any better. Weirdest urgent care experience ever.
I will say I’ve seen Dr. Nunez here & he was very thorough with me, my son, and my parents.
