They took me right away, since I was a 7:45 walk in. I was rushed and the two employees behind the desk babbled some instructions to me, while asking for my ID (which I gave). I was asked to fill out a one page that asked me nothing about my medical history. when it was time for me to go back the other person continually pronounced my name wrong. Everyone was speed talking and one informed me that I just made it. I tell time very well, thank you. She showed me to an examining room and I was told to have a seat. The same employee comes back and begins to as me questions and writing my responses on the back of an envelope or torn paper, explaining that they were having computer problems. she took my pressure and my temp, which both were normal. She replied that my temp was slightly elevated.She then said she needed to swab my throat, not explaining why. Not using gloves of any kind and did not put the swab in a sanitized container to protect it. Once she made me gag, she literally immediately, abruptly turned and walked out the door, never making eye contact or any apology for making me feel so uncomfortable (almost as if she were saying, take that lady for coming here so late). After about 2 or 3 minutes the other employee (no gloves on) opens my door and has a container in her hand with a swab inside, and sitting at a computer (the worker that swabbed my throat)stops her by saying if you are going to swab her, I already did. The employee in my doorway said, ""then where it is""? Again the first employee holds up the swab in her left hand, saying, ""here it is"". The swab was not in a container of any kind, and hands it to the other employee. She closed the door and the doctor came in about 3 or 4 minutes later to tell me that I had strep throat and the results came up immediately. These were his words and the same words of the employee that swab my throat. No one washed their hands, not even the doctor. I was asked if I was allergic to any meds and I explained. I asked the doctor could he prescribe something that would not be too strong and that I would not mind having to take a med a little longer, but still get results. He looked at me like I fell out of the sky!
As if he didn't really understand what I was saying. He seemed really confused for a couple seconds. At any rate he did not change his mind. Well needless to say I do not and did not have strep throat. My first warning should have been that there were no cars in the parking lot. They forgot to give me back my ID, that was still in the copier, I was told to take a couple of cards and tell my friends, This was the most unprofessional, uncomfortable, memorable experience. I will remember never to go back.!!!!!!!!
