Went to urgent care, because I had a sore in my nose which was red and swollen and very painful. I went to urgent care, the staff was great, I didnโ€™t have to wait long, the Dr came in she stood at the door way, glanced at my nose, didnโ€™t even look inside and said u have a infection, she spent 30 seconds with me and stood in the doorway, wrote a prescription and left. I will never go back to that center or recommend anyone. I worked at Sloane Kettering for forty two years, I am totally aware how a dr should present herself, she didnโ€™t introduce herself or entered the room and closed the door. No way to present your self to a patient.
