My regular doctor was out on vacation so the appointment clerk stated that this doctor could see me because I stated I had an infection. I went to the appointment, went to the lab, waited for the results,was told I had and infection. Was asked where to send the prescription, and it will be there in an hour. The next day I called to see why no prescription. I was told that they didn't see where she prescribed anything, however, they could see where she ordered a culture. I called the next day to see what was going on. Still no answers and no prescription. It's day six now and I'm still trying to find out whether I have an infection or not. So upset!
