Ok, me an my wife arrive to the office at 12:10 for my scheduled visit. When we arrive we are told that the doctor wasn't in today an would be practicing out the Ridge rd office. I was upset bc nobody told me that the doc wasn't gonna be in edinburg office when I called to make the appt. We were told that someone called to confirm the appt an they should of told us on the phone. I then explained that my back was hurting an I have Flu like symptoms an had just gotten out the hospital a few days ago. I was then told that there was only a Nurse Practitioner available an they would be able to give me the PROPER treatment an care I needed. Once I got to the back room an the NP came in to evaluate me she was taking everything I said in the totally opposite direction. What does my congestion an coughing have to do with my allergies? What does my back pain got to do with my allergies? It just seemed like everything resorted back to her saying its just my allergies. Point is they will tell you what you want to hear just to get you in the door an to do testing on you even though they cant prescribe the proper medications to treat a back pain an flu so they can just bill your insurance thousands of dollars... This lady NP Hdz wanted to give me an steroid injection an told me I can get something called melatonin over the counter to help me sleep better.. She was gonna give me the injection before doing lab work which made no sense to do the lab work after our visit is done an wrongfully diagnosing me. I DO recommend Dr. Yazji but not his NP's bc she was very unprofessional an trying to rush diagnosing me an can not prescribe the proper medication for the severe pain I was in for my back.
