Patients First Medical Center

If you plan to visit a doctor here, make sure you have nothing else to do for that day. Waiting for at least an hour to be attended by a nurse and then another at least an hour wait for the doctor to come n see you is very normal. I waited n waited n went out to just remind them that I am still waiting for a doctor! Patient first? I have doubts n may be they should change that name !! I would not recommend it to anyone.

I’ve been coming here for a couple years and I would recommend them to everyone that doesn’t have a regular doctor. I didn’t have health insurance until recently, but the 2 doctors that I’ve had there didn’t treat me any differently. Serious thumbs up to this Patients First.

These are the sorriest doctors and nursing staff I have ever seen! I go in with a Urinary tract infection. I am having agonizing bladder spasms. They give me Phenazopyrid which is suppose to soothe this. IT did nothing but turn my pee orange. They have an on call nurse, I call her at 11pm and ask her what to do, she says to take a bath! She won’t call the doctor to ask for something else. I call back at 8am and don’t hear back from them till 2pm to tell me they just called in an antibiotic for me. I again ask for something to help with the bladder spasms, I even tell them the name of what the last doctor gave me in the past. Instead the nurses tells me to go pick up some «AZP» The nurse that told me to do that was Lynn Stele, now she is either incompetent or just jerking me around, AZP IS THE SAME CRAP THEY GAVE ME YESTERDAY (Phenapyrid) except it is over the counter and 95 mg instead of 100mg. The nurse ask me if I want a «muscle relaxer» (code words for narcotic) I told her «hell no I don’t want that crap»…I want a med called, «Utira-​C» which is what my last doctor gave me. This medicine (Utira-​C) is a Urinary antiseptic, antispasmodic and analgesic used to treat the discomfort of irritation urination. It is used to relieve symptoms such as inflammation spasms and pain due to urinary tract infections. But heck no they won’t allow me to have that. So I sit here feeling as if my bladder is going to burst it is so full, which is what the spasms are. These sorry scum have ripped me and my insurance company off for over $ 300.00 and I am still miserable. It sucks to be this powerless. What ever happened to the doctors that gave a damn?

OK – they have nurses and doctors. The building is decent.
But, you got to call this place ‘Patience First’. I did not feel as though the patient came first in any of the employees mind except for the doctor. He was fine; the rest of the crew was totally uninspired – near pissed off about life in general. That attitude is hard to find in a small place like Tallahassee – but they seem to have rounded up the bunch and employed them all here.
Nothing wrong with the ‘care’ – just the service sucks. In this day and age of doctors and services become a commodity just like anything else – I would find another place.
