The first time I went here was after I'd taken four home pregnancy tests and wanted a blood test done to verify. I went in, paid my $40 copay, was asked to "tee-tee" in a cup (very professional). Dr. Columbia came in, said "Yep, you're pregnant, you need to decide where you want to deliver your baby and pick an OB." Threw me a business card for the OB that practices in town, said she'd write me a prescription for prenatal vitamins (which cost $80 AFTER insurance at Walmart) and left.
Three weeks later, I came in and told them I'd gotten a positive result on home UTI tests. The nurse had no idea they existed, which was funny. Anyway, same doctor came in, said, "Yep, you've got a UTI. I'll write you a prescription for an antibiotic and something to help with the pain." I made sure to remind her that I was pregnant, and needed an antibiotic that was safe for me to take. She said sure, asked about the pregnancy, congrats, yadda yadda yadda. Well, after picking up the prescription, it had the nice little "Check with your doctor if you plan to become pregnant" warning on the side. Called my OB's office, which said no, you shouldn't be taking these, so they had to call me in a new prescription.
I don't understand how I can tell them EXACTLY what is wrong and what I need, and they can STILL screw it up. This, coupled with the wait time, makes me realize I will not be visiting them ever again.
