We have never used a Dr. Rivers and this is in response to the question regarding Florida Dr's. We moved to the Village from a community in which the Walk In is incredible. The Dr. made you feel as though you were the only person in the world, even though he had a few in the waiting room and he was, as one Dr. friend said to us as close to a family Dr. as you will ever get. His rates were low and he actually cared about his patients. In fact after we moved to the Village I actually drove the 3 hours to see him as I did not know anyone here and trusted him. When you went to his office the staff were pleasant, happy and treated you as though you were the only one in the world and a good neighbor.
Having said that we just visited an Walk In unit and it could not have been further from what we expected. In the end my wife was also told not to come back and god knows she is the kindess person I know. After she was prescribed meds she was told not to come back and was concerned about what she should do if she has a reaction.
It is a long story and I will not go into detail but to say we were shocked at the treatment would be an understatement. We are happy to hear that LSL is such a good Walk In and will use them in the future. As a backup we will drive the 3 hours if there is time and that is the only way to get care.
