I needed STI testing and choice this office. On my first visit, I was relieved by the informal atmosphere of the office. On the other hand, the place looked dilapidated. Always is in a large, old office building that rents to a variety of professions, including health services, and light medical. (I used to see a therapist in this building years ago and the corridors are still lined with the little white Sound Sleep noise makers.) I was a little put off by the rundown nature of the ""office."" Everyone seemed personable and that was nice. The doctor did not look healthy, so that was not encouraging. He was friendly and knowledgeable though. everything went fine with my first visit, which included an initial consultation and getting drawn blud [this site will not let me spell it properly] by a flabatamist. The next visit, I got more blud drawn, but the flabatamist was not there, so the doctor did it. I think he wanted more blud to send out for additional tests to make some money. This time, the doctor looked like he had been up for a few days without any sleep. He seemed delirious. I was not confident about the practice at this point. When it was time to take more blud, he lead me to the usual room to draw my blud. I was shocked to see that there was debris from previous extractions laying around and not thrown away (needle wrappers, used bandage packaging, used/open syringes, etc.) This totally scared the hell out of me out and I swore to never come back. Maybe this was an a rare occurrence in his office, but it freaked me out that the practice could be so unprofesisonal.
Pros: informal, open-minded, personable, supportive
Cons: Dumpy office, disorganization, SCARY!
