441 urgent care
My friend flew down for a visit & developed what she thought was a UTI. Took her to 441 Urgent care. A specimen was taken. Without having results NP gave her a shot of antibiotics & a prescription. She was told to return the next day to review her results which would occur another office visit fee. She requested that her results be faxed to her home Dr. This Dr. Never received results. How can an NP prescribe medication without having test results? And why should she have to pay for another office visit to get her test result?
Senior citizens beware. In my opinion this is not ethical! |

Primary care doctors are doing the same thing. Mine sent me for routine bloodwork then scheduled an appointment for me to come in and get results. I went to Quest, had my blood drawn and signed up for their online results. I had my results before my doctor did. I then called the Dr office and canceled the follow up. They asked why and I explained that I already got my results and since there was nothing to be alarmed about, I'm not paying another copay for them to tell me everything is fine.

Good news! 441 Urgent Care is opening an office in Brownwood area soon. Now, if we could only get a reasonable dress shop down here, it would be very much appreciated! It's a long ride to Beall's at the Colony and even longer to Ross, & TJ Maxx near Spanish Springs.

I'm a self pay. I find they are much less expensive than other Urgent Care clinics. Located on the north side of CR 466 between Morse and Rolling Acres.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If we had gone to all of those years of education and internship then we could confidently assess our own medical tests. I am not angry when I am asked to see the doctor after routine tests. I am not stupid either. I am Dr. Mom and I have years and years of practical medical knowledge stored in my pretty little head and I am not as dumb as I look, and that is why I consult a physician.
