7 visits and no help 7/26/2007

I would not recommend this clinic. I went there for a skin condition / allergy and I visited the doctor 7 times because i was so itchy, I couldn't sleep at night and my skin would welt from the scratching...nothing worked. I used to have to lather myself in lotion and anti-itch cream to even be able to sleep a couple hours. Everytime I visited, she dismissed me and told me to change my detergent (i did), my shampoo, lotions, etc...(I DID) and it was still unbarable, the sixth time she hinted at the fact that it all might be in my head. It's not in my head if everytime I scratch, even slightly, my skin welts. I wanted to go to an allergist and she said it wouldn't help, so on the 7th visit. I told her to give me some allergy medicine since I tried benadryl once and it seemed to help... anything becuause I changed my lifestyle and obviously nothing was working. So, she finally after the 7th visit prescribed an allergy medicine and it worked! it helped me tremendously and have been using it for the past year. It's horrible that I had to live with a condition for a year and a half before they could find out what was wrong with me and prescribe me the correct medicine. it also infuriates me that she would even go as far as to say it was all in my head. She also wasn't very attentive. Each time I went in she saw me for 5 minutes and said ""try this"", then left and that was it. Not recommended at all more
