I had a severe migraine, and after taking a dose of Imitrex which my fp prescribes for me, didn't work, I called GP Urgent Care and asked if they had some injectable Imitrex they could administer to me to relieve my head pain. They said they were out of injectable Imitrex, but they would be happy to give me a pain shot for relief and the doctor would write a prescription for injectable Imitrex that I could take to a pharmacy and have it filled. I was a little hesitant, thinking that maybe I should just go to the ER, but the girl on the phone told me the wait would be an hour and a half. I figured the ER would be about a 3 hour wait so I decided to go to GP Urgent Care. OMG,, was that the BIGGEST mistake of my life. The first lie was the hour and a half wait. I was there for, are you ready for this? FIVE HOURS!!! When I finally did see the doctor my head was about to explode! Now for the real kicker....She said all she could do for me was give me a shot of Toradol and Phenergan!!! I said 'What are you talking about?"" ""Your employee on the phone said i could get a pain shot to relieve my excruciating pain and you would give me a prescription for injectable imitrex?"" She said all they can do there is refer you to the ER for the pain shot! So that was the second lie. I wasted 5 hours of my Saturday and I'm not happy. Save yourself some major stress and avoid this place at all cost!
