MedExpress

My daughter decided at the last minute that she wanted to try out for the Bowling Team and needed a physical today. Decided to try going here and was so pleased. We were in and out in less than a half hour and it only cost $ 20! It’s a beautiful office and the staff was very nice. We will be definitely use them again.

While visiting my parents in Boca Raton, my legs started aching. At first I thought I had just worked out way too hard, especially since I’m a bit out of shape after having a baby a few months ago. Sigh. However; after a few days my legs were so swollen and bruised that it looked like someone had taken a bat to them.
I called my Dr. back in Chicago and she said it sounded like I was having some sort of allergic reaction and to get to a local doc ASAP. My mom suggested the MedExpress clinic just down the street from their house. Apparently she has gone there when she’s had colds in the past.
I arrived at the clinic and expected to wait for hours (had my kindle with me just in case!), but minutes later I saw the Dr. The Dr. took one look at my legs and admitted that this was beyond the conditions they usually treat at the clinic. He didn’t think it was an allergic reaction, but asked to run blood work cause he thought it could be a staff infection or even lupus. And he gave me a prescription just in case it was an infection. I left the clinic in tears that I could potentially have lupus.
Days later I was back in Chicago and had an appointment with my internist there. I had my blood work back from the clinic by then (it took 3 days) and Lupus was ruled out. Phew! It turned out I had some rare post partum condition where there were too many hormones in my system… and it was pretty to cure with lots of motric and removal of hormones.
Would I go back to this clinic in the future? Perhaps for a cold like my mom does, but for anything potentially more serious I’d find another Dr in town.
