I am a medical student myself, so I feel I am able to give a fair assessment of the type of service this medical clinic provides. I would never recommend this place--in fact, if it wasn't the ONLY place my insurance will allow me to go, I would never go back.\r

The first time I went to this clinic with a rash, the physician looked at my skin then brought a dermatological book into the room and basically asked me to diagnose myself by showing me a picture (which looked vaguely like my rash) and asking, ""Do you think you have this?"" She then prescribed me a topical cream that did not work and told me that I would probably have to continue using the cream for life, because there was nothing more she could do to treat it.\r

The second visit at this clinic was worse. I experienced a reaction to a vaccine I was given. When I came back to get the reaction treated, I was told by the nurse practitioner that she thought it was just a mild reaction to the injection site, and I should take ibuprophen for the pain and let it heal itself. She then told me she wanted to get the lead medical assistant's opinion. The medical assistant took a look and said she thought I had cellulitis, a much more serious condition, and recommended antibiotics. The nurse practitioner then changed her mind and decided to treat my condidtion as cellulitis. I went to pick up the prescription for the antibiotics and found out that it had never been called in.\r

I can look past the dingy office and the aloof attitudes of most of the staff, but I feel like the care at this clinic is borderline negligent.\r

Pros: There is a large waiting room, but I had to think hard to come up with something positive
Cons: Staff, Wait time, General atmosphere of office
