Nurse practitioner was very kind and professional. However, Dr. Baker only entered to inject my knee and seemed extremely rushed, as though he could not wait to leave.
The front-counter staff were openly discussing personal gossip, behaving dismissively, and making my wife and me feel uncomfortable. I needed a letter for work, but they completed it incorrectly because they barely listened to our explanation. When my wife politely requested a correction, two employees gave her intimidating and disrespectful looks. We also heard an employee speaking negatively about a patient who had just left and using profanity in Spanish, apparently assuming we would not understand. We are bilingual and understood everything. Discussing a patient that way within earshot of others was completely unprofessional.
This was a paid medical visit, not a favor. Patients deserve attentive care and respectful treatment. Unfortunately, this experience left me with no desire to return.
