You might just catch something by walking in the doors
Do not ever take your children or any other family members here. They are inexperienced, slow, unresponsive, and full of excuses. Worst healthcare ever. If it wasn't for my son breaking his thumb and needing an urgent referral, we would not have been there. My insurance assigned him to that horrible place of sloppy "care". They couldn't even fax a referral for ortho consult because their phones and fax machines were down for 3 days. Their remedy was for me to come pick it up and take it to the ortho office myself!! The "medical assistant" if she is even one, was inexperienced in giving injections, I had to tell her what and how to do it first, just for her to not even do it. I refuse to torture my child with a injection from a complete idiot. They do not believe in HIPAA/PHI since they talk about every patient in the hallway while leaving other patient's doors open for everyone to see and clearly hear. The staff in the pediatric dept is completely unprofessional and use vulgar language in office. Keep in mind the doors are all open and they are not whispering!!!! I could not get out of there fast enough! This place needs to be torn down and never considered a health care facility!
and waiting 20 mins. (without being called, wasted gas and time to go in person) because they didn't know what a two part Th skin test was and wasn't sure if they could give it. Then had to wait around another 30 mins. (With an anxious infant) to be told that Dr. Mackey had quit, (I guess that she was now in the system as my primary care Dr) and the doctor that does those wouldn't be back until two days later and to reschedule. I told them I would have to come early and leave quickly because I would have to work and they said, they could "try" to have me out but it wasn't guaranteed. (Appointment for 9, asking if I'll be out by 11 30) so I go to the appointment and wait like 45 mins and have to hunt down someone to ask if I could be seen. The girl at the back information counter kept talking about how hungry and ready for lunch she was. When I was finally seen, a clerk done the step in less than 30 seconds.........why was my wait sooo long for 30 seconds and for a clerk to do it and not a doc. Many more things went on as far as referrals and scheduling, and long waits, but that's pretty much the high points of what to expect. You'll always get an appointment, cause they will triple book doctors who are greedy enough to accept it and you're the one waiting, paying, and not being properly diagnosed when you do finally get seen.
The place, as a whole, is just so unprofessional. I've been going for about 6 months, only because I lived close to them and was automatically suggested to them by my insurance. I tried to put up with them, as I only go to the doctor if I really have to, so I wouldn't be seeing much of them. Needless to say, I went 2 times when I first got put with them and I hated the setup up things, (dirty, unprofessional, loud) but stayed because it was my only off day to be seen both times. I was never even seen by Kurecki, (who was listed as my primary doctor), instead Breana Mackey saw me and she was great. Only seem Dr. Kurecki once the whole time with them, and I waited 3 hours in the waiting room and then had to go back and wait another 45 without an apology or explanation when he finally came in. He acted like I was holding him up and answered no questions. Flat out told me that everything I was asking was not in his field of medicine and I needed to go talk to the type of doctor that knew about what I was talking about and left. Had to go back a couple months later to get a two part Tb skin test for work and I was sent home the first time after signing in, paying copay,
