MedFast Medical Clinic

I used to go here frequently with my family when we were younger but thankfully I don't get sick too often since with my high insurance deductible it is just not at all practical for me to pay $85 to see a doctor, even Mikrut since none of the visit is covered by my insurance. I have been sick on and off for nearly a month, though, so I needed a doctor and knew that my sickness would be diagnosed and treated properly here and thought that I would receive a bit of personal attention and care from my now estranged doctor.



There were not many people in the waiting room around 9:30 on a Monday morning which was a good time to arrive before many people had a chance to come after opening. I was called back to a room in a reasonable amount of time and the nurse checked me out a bit and did a strep test on me, another $25 fee. It took Mikrut around 20 minutes to finally enter the room, however, and she was only in there for around five minutes which was definitely the most disappointing aspect about my visit.



I described my symptoms, she looked in my ears and throat and listened to my breathing and told me I had a bad infection and that they were going to rerun the strep test and to lay down for a bit since I was sweating. After about 20 more minutes the nurse walked in with a shot which I declined but Mikrut never returned to the room to tell me what was wrong with me or what my prescription was. I managed to get a bit of an answer as to what was ailing me from the nurse but when you end up paying $25 a minute to be quickly diagnosed by the doctor then I also expect for that to include at the very least a quick but concise talk with the doctor explaining what it is that is wrong with my body.



On my way out I saw Mikrut and asked her a couple questions in front of the nurses that I would not have been able to otherwise bring forward, mainly about a prescription for a skin condition but she said I would have to come back for that. I guess $85 is only good for one health problem, and even then do not expect Mikrut to come back in after her initial diagnosis to tell you what is wrong; it will more than likely just come from a nurse. The standard of care and compassion here seems to have fallen and I was not treated like anything more than another profitable sick person to bring in and, at their earliest convenience, be let out. I told Mikrut it was nice seeing her as I was leaving but she did not recognize me, nor did I recognize her rather cold and aloof way of dealing with patients as little as humanly and medically possible.
