Hello Maine!
Not only did that doctor (Dr. Im?) do a slip shot exam and overcharged but he prescribed a medicine for my husband that was contraindicated with one of his existing medicines. I found that out when I googled it. (he prescribed steroids for what we thought was wax build up in his ear.....).
So we never picked up the script.

When I went the year before, I was given a shot and when I asked what it was for they said "just for nausea, make you feel better." Turns out my doctor at home said "YIKES, pretty powerful shot he gave you"
No doctor has EVER given me a shot in my adult life where we didn't discuss it first and decide together!

Anyway, they are BAD over there. Terrible!
