Review content:
My husband has suffered from chronic uticaria for a year. Because we didn't have health insurance until this month, he has ""sucked it up"".\r
\r
On May 6, we had to visit urgent care, who referred us to this clinic. Our appt was at 2:10, and we prepared a journal documenting the problem, photos, and a long list of questions. My husband also is plagued by two other skin issues that we needed to discuss with the doctor. (We'd also discussed them at urgent care).\r
\r
At 2:55 (45 minutes past our appointment) we were still sitting in the waiting area. When the nurse called us back, we discussed his 3 skin issues. \r
\r
The doctor entered several minutes later (I'd estimate at 3:10) and was very kind. She was, as all doctors are, a bit rushed. However, since we had waited for an hour (and a whole year to have insurance), we expected to receive thorough treatment.\r
\r
She discusses the chronic uticaria, though declined to view the pictures, because she ""already knows what it looks like"". However, we did not describe the body parts, appearance, nor pain/itch level. How did she know that it was uticaria (other than that was the diagnosis at urgent care)? \r
\r
She began to wrap up, and I asked her if she was leaving, because we had two more issues. She said she was leaving, and looked quite distressed as we basically forced her to look at our 2nd issue. With one glance and 2 questions, she wrote out another prescription for the 2nd issue. She did not address the purpose/use of this medicine.\r
\r
She said good-bye & we basically forced her to look at my husband's 3rd issue. She looked at me and noted that he has yet a 3rd skin condition, but said, ""time has run out"" (which she'd said several times at this point). She instructed us to make another appointment, because she didn't have time.\r
\r
We were charged for a 99203, which is a detailed visit of 30 minutes in length. We waited an hour for ten minutes of poor treatment. This is the worst treatment that I've ever received.
Cons: Long wait time, short office time, inattentive doctor, poor service
