In need of a quick check-up for my tendinitis, I decided to just visit the doctor's office closest to my house. As soon as I walked in I realized that the place was more like a free clinic than a private medical practice. The waiting room was dirty, and so packed that had to stand until my name was called. Once inside the offices it was still crowded -- there was even a line to get blood drawn. Kinda weird. Meanwhile, the doctors scurried hurriedly from room to room. Still, the medical treatment I received was really very good, and I was happy with the follow-up. My doctor (Steven Altic) even once called the pharmacy when they gave me a hard time over a prescription! All and all, fine medical treatment in a terrible atmosphere. Only go here if you have few other choices or don't mind crowds and waits.
