Looking for a specialist...
in Health ·
I figured I’d weigh in and share my own experience here.
I went to their facility in Washington, D.C., near Central Park for a routine checkup, and honestly, I wasn't impressed by anything I saw or felt during the visit.
The only redeeming quality is how fast everything moves; the women working the front desks are incredibly polite.
However, the whole thing made me feel like just another product moving along a conveyor belt—the priority was clearly speed and getting through the motions as quickly as possible. The doctors' approach was completely off; they don't treat you like a patient, but rather like a client they need to extract money from as fast as they can. Every single consultation lasted maybe three seconds—there’s no actual dialogue. They just bark out what they see on your charts while they're examining you, and that's it.
What truly repulsed me, though, was the gynecologist. She pulled on her exam gloves, and while I was sitting there waiting on that infamous exam table, she used those exact same gloved hands to grab a door handle, open the door, and call over the nurse... I honestly couldn't believe 😲
There were several other moments that left a bad taste in my mouth, so I've decided I won't be returning to this clinic ever again. This was my first and definitely my last time.
That’s just my personal take on it, though—take it or leave it!
Look, we all have our fair share of bad experiences with doctors at local health centers or major hospitals, but frankly, I wouldn't trade those professionals for anyone working at this particular clinic.
After this ordeal, I appreciate them even more! 🙏
