And in some greedy cases you will have to PAY another fee to get the results. My son was recently seen for bronchitis along with a school and sports physical, the total charge was 50$.If he wasn't better within a few days he could return for no charge. As far as sub-standard care, as a nurse I see that a problem everywhere. For the common health services being preformed, there is little room for error.mindynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-66794757334259691902011-08-22T10:21:31.836-04:002011-08-22T10:21:31.836-04:00As a Board Certified Family Medicine physician, I ...As a Board Certified Family Medicine physician, I am appalled that they are saying it's operated by Family Medicine Specialists. Nothing against mid-level practitioners, but it really is false advertising. I have seen some sub-standard care delivered and more antibiotics prescribed than is recommended.Doughttp://www.atlas.mdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-86862759944903133532011-08-22T00:31:35.765-04:002011-08-22T00:31:35.765-04:00As a family physician, this is nothing short of in...As a family physician, this is nothing short of insulting. Nothing happens in a bubble Walmart, from now on, I'll only recommend patients fill prescriptions at target or dillons.JoshMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09111066668663650784noreply@blogger.com
