1 /5 Val Valentin: At first glance this looks like a shady business. Obscure entry door, no name of the business posted anywhere, its like a private house. Had a hard time locating it.
Once in, I had to fill out a first time patient form which is normal. I was a little surprised with the front desk clerk insisting on colonoscopy and other tests when the reason of my visit was a renewal of my high blood pressure meds but I said its nice of them to offer other services. Then Ive waited more than an hour for the doctor who didnt have any patients, there were none inside.
Finally the lady doctor showed up (Bailey) and I had to start over with the same questions, more than half hour. I got frustrated when she said my blood pressure is a little high and advised me to drink more water. An average of 140/98 is a real concern, Ive been monitoring and taking meds for the past two years.
And then again, she started insisting on other expensive tests, a full blood work, colonoscopy and so on. She said giving me the prescription without further tests would be malpractice. I felt like I was at the market, trying to be convinced to spend money for items I didnt need. In the end I told her I have an issue with needles and I will not draw blood. Her answer was that in this case all she can do is prescribe the requested drug (Losartan) for 3 months but no more. They took my pharmacy preference, said they will forward my prescription right away.
Days went by, my prescription never made it to the pharmacy and any attempts to contact them over the phone were unsuccessful.
If this is how we treat patients in the healthcare business... I wonder what was the oath this doctor Bailey took and when.
Totally disappointed, I recommend people avoid those place.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
