Do not go here! I had a terrible experience. I was seen by the nurse practioner, Jay Barton, whom I do not recommend! He misdiagnosed me because he did not want to do the necessary tests. Maybe it was because it was close to closing time and he wanted to go home. His careless attitude about my symptoms caused me a lot more pain than necessary and made me feel helpless. I later sought second opinions elsewhere and it turns out it was my appendix. I am sure there are other good doctors at this clinic, but I wanted to warn others about Mr. Jay Barton. My story is below:
I came for severe abdominal pain and fatigue which had been reoccurring . Mr. Barton asked me about my symptoms and felt my stomach. He specifically said "you probably just have the stomach flu or a bug going around". I told him this pain happened frequently and it did not feel like the flu, it was more intense pain. He did not take my pain seriously and seemed to just brush me off. I asked if we could at least do some tests since this pain is abnormal (and extreme!) however it seemed like that was a nuisance to him. After some persistence on my end, a nurse or tech came in and tried to draw my blood but poked me so many times that I just asked to leave. Fast forward a year later --and after many more abdominal attacks-- I end up in the ER needing an emergency appendectomy! I had chronic appendicitis and Mr. Jay Barton tried to brush it off as the stomach flu because he couldn't be bothered to run some tests. This could have resulted in much more adverse effects had I only seen Mr. Barton. I am glad I got the help I needed elsewhere. Please do not waste your time with this nurse practioner. Unprofessional and insincere.
