I went to this clinic for a physical for my summer job. I was sketched out as soon as I parked. It didn't get any better when I walked in the waiting room and was surrounded by incredibly young pregnant girls (some accompanied by creepy older guys) and girls with prison tattoos. I was terrified just to use the pen to sign in! I sat next to a snotty screaming kid and prayed to god for my name to be called quickly.
My name was called 30 minutes after my appointment. I was ushered into a dingy room and waited another 30 minutes for a doctor to show.
The doctor that finally showed up was Dr. Zang, an older Chinese woman. Her broken English was difficult to understand. When I asked her to write a refill of a prescription for me, she refused. I stated, ""I'd appreciate it if you went ahead and wrote the prescription for me since it's a non-addictive drug with no potential for abuse"". She said (in an arrogant and rude tone), ""I know that! You don't tell me that, I tell you that!"". I was absolutely flabbergasted! I have never been treated so shoddily.
Regardless of the fact that most of the patients they see are indigent medicaid recipients and non-native speakers, they should treat everyone with at least a modicum of respect.
