Update by user Apr 12, 2020 The review results came back, of course the treatment was again deemed appropriate, and they have no reason to believe I am allergic to any drugs. One of the MD's said there is no proof I am allergic to the drugs. I got a second opinion and they concluded that I am indeed allergic to one of the drugs they gave me. The MD was somewhat condescending and when I pointed out the problems, he did not really care to listen. He just wanted to talk and tell me how things were. He was not my Dr. so he does not know. I tried to negotiate the billng, because they were in the wrong, now the bill is on the way to collections. I am not happy to have a bill in collections but I am not paying these "professionals" for amateur care. Original review posted by user Apr 12, 2020 I went in for a simple insect bite. I was given a prescription for an antibiotic and sent home. After taking it for about 36 hours I was in excruciating pain. I called and asked to talk to the PA, I was told they were with patients, I left a message. 3 hours later the pain was still unbearable and I called again only to be told they had left for the day. I increased the OTC I was taking. The next day passed without a call back, finally on the 2nd day I decided to try to go to work. Finally they called back, I explained it was better than when I had originally called 2 days ago. But it was still painful, I could not tell if the redness had increased because it was in an area that was hard to see. On the third day after the call I went in for my scheduled appointment, he looked at me and sent me to a surgeon. It appeared that I had had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic and they made an incision and then put me in the hospital. I was told that in about 48 hours this would have been fatal. As I was laying in the hospital I heard someone say "The PA blew it". I found out later my skin had turned black in that area. The surgeons assistant said it was a good thing I came in when I did. I told her I had been in on Monday. So I guess noone had looked at my records. I received a bill for over $5,000, I appealed it based on the fact that this could likely have been prevented had my PA called me back in a timely manner. I appealed the billing and was told the care I had was "deemed appropriate". I appealed the appeal and am waiting for an answer. I am pretty certain that the second appeal will be denied, because the establishment is in financial trouble. While I was in the hospital I had 2 antibiotics in an IV, a mark appeared on my arm. I pointed this out to a nurse and she wasnt sure what it was, another nurse came in and said that was a hive. It seems I was also allergic to whatever drug was in the IV. They continued the IV treatment, when that was done the mark disappeared. I went in for one of my follow up visits and was asked what I was allergic to I said the antibiotic, and whatever was in the IV. I asked for the drug in the IV so I would know what to say the next time I was asked. When she looked at the laptop, apparently nobody had ever noted that, because the drug was not listed on her screen. User's recommendation: Run to Aspirus.
