I think you have to go to Dr. Im for an urgent care situation only. That
is what the clinic is advertised to be.
I wouldnt go there for a flu shot. Why would you do that when Walgreens,
CVS, and Walmart, etc., advertise flu shots for free.
I wouldnt expect Dr. Im to give flu shots for free.

I went there when I cut my finger and it needed 6 stitches. I was happy
with the care he gave me.

I went there again when I was very sick with the flu, cold...whatever is
going around this winter. He took care of me and got me on the road
to recovery with an antibiotic shot in the office.

Yes, he billed Medicare for the second visit as well as the first. Both
charges were reasonable and I was happy that I could go there and
be seen immediately for my bleeding finger and within 45 minutes for my cold.
