    Made appointment for 5:45. It is now 7:05. We have still not been seen. Told there is only 1…read moreprovider. If they were honest about appointment times I would not have come. Seen at 7:12. The medical tech is super friendly! The physician is efficient, funny, explains clearly, listens and is helpful. If the company stop being cheap & paid for additional staff like these two, it would be an awesome place. It is now 7:25, almost 2 hours later and we are done.

    No medical asst that generally is there to take vital signs prior to seeing the Doctor or PA (…read morephysician's asst.) who is certainly qualified to see patients in this setting. The radiologist technician took my vitals ( just a little unusual that he'd do the vitals) Usually a medical Asst is there. However, he was very nice & welcoming ( Dillon) I went in for cough, fever, general fatigue. Chest xray done and the PA ( physician asst) by the name of C. Pickering informed me my chest x-ray was normal. He prescribed an inhaler and 2 ( two!) antibiotics. ( Amoxicillin & Doxycycline) If the chest x-ray was " normal " why would I need 2 antibiotics let alone one? Well, I wouldn't!! Only bacterial infections require an antibiotic and since he said my x-ray was normal I'd assume this was viral therefore not needing antibiotics. Well, I get to CVS and the PA calls me and tells me that I actually have pneumonia in my left lung. I'm not happy at this point for such confusion telling me my xray is normal and now it's not! I'm 72 yrs old and having pneumonia at my age is a serious health concern because aging weakens the immune system and lung function, increasing risks for complications like respiratory failure, sepsis, and even death, with mortality rates "significantly higher" in older adults. I'm a retired RN so this is why i'm knowledgeable. So here I am with an inhaler ( that's fine) but two antibiotics! So which one do I take? I opted for the stronger one and if I'm not better I'll return to see my primary care Doctor. ( His office was closed today hence urgent care) Please opt for another urgent care if you need one or call and see who's on duty. If it's C. Pickering then pass and go elsewhere please. Children are also seen here so I'd be very cautious. Wishing you all a Happy Holiday Season and continued good health.

    If you have other choices, do not send your adolescent here…read more This place is grim. They give lidocaine patches to The kids to try to manage the horrible discomfort of the beds. Staff encourages kids to punch walls to deal with their emotions, but without doctor approval cannot offer first aid. They get 30 minutes outside in a courtyard joined by adults from other wards.' HVAC Is on overdrive so kids wear sweats in 90 degree weather.' The doctor in charge is charitably a moron but more likely a grifter. She was quick to diagnose and dismissed contrary evidence from prior neuropsych testing. Her "guy" for Neuropsychs (who is old enough to have interacted with the Boston Strangler when he was a medical student) does not trouble himself with diagnostics that are approved by current literature. But she can diagnose big for insurance reimbursement. My biggest issue with this place is rhat we tried to work with them on appropriate discharge timing. A piece of this was titrating up my child's medication. We asked for safe titration rates, release as soon as reasonable. What we did not know was that the medication was titrated well Ahead of the communicated scheduled and my kid would be out once insurance said so. My kid was discharged with zero notice when insurance ran out and ended up in hospital for several days with an adverse reaction to the rapid titration. Every clinician we have seen subsequently (which are many) has questioned the diagnosis and criticized the medical approach at Fuller. This is an insurance scam with a negligent medical director. Advocate hard to keep from ending up here. I

    I almost don't want to review Dr. Behtash because I don't want competition for appointment slots ;)…read moreBut, I believe that sharing is caring on Yelp -- and Solmaz Behtash is one of the most caring doctors I have ever encountered. Dr. Behtash was recommended to me by my doctor at Memorial Hospital, Dr. Susanna Magee - who was my doctor for both of my pregnancies. I enjoyed Dr Magee's style, ease of emailing communication, and asked for her to recommend a local provider to be my regular physician. Dr. Behtash runs a micro office, which allows her to spend a ton more time with her patience -- you set up your appointments, and even email her through an app or online. This helps because she is the one who writes back to you - not a nurse! My first visit with her was about an hour. She took the time to truly understand me and my history, and has been incredibly kind at subsequent visits. She is young, knowledgable, warm, and welcoming - and I 100% recommend her to others! My husband just made the switch, and he said the quality of care was unlike anything he had ever experienced. And the best part - barely any waiting for my appointment!

    I have been a patient of Dr. Behtash for years. I can't image going to any other PCP health care…read moreprovide. She is running a epractice or electronic practice. Enabling her to reduce costs and spend more time with her patients. Dr. Behtash includes her patients in their care and answers all your questions. She is an extremely dedicated to her patient's needs. I am very lucky to be her patient.

    Before I arrived for my first appointment, I was sent a link to fill in my medical history as well…read moreas my current medications, allergies and insurance information. I spent a great deal of time doing just that. When I arrived for my appointment, I was told it was not possible that I had been sent such a link. Wait, what? When I attempted to show the staff my phone that had the link and the subsequent forms, I was emphatically told that it didn't matter what I showed them, they hadn't sent it and they needed me to fill out the paperwork there. OK (deep breath) I said, I realize that they need the information, and that I would fill out the forms but they also needed to understand that this was not my mistake, that I had only followed the instructions I received. I was then questioned about how I had gotten an appointment in the first place, as I had not followed their patient vetting procedures. I said I had called back in April as soon as I found out my old PCP's office was closing. The office manager (who had very early on taken over my check in) looked it up and informed me that the person who had made the appointment shouldn't have done so and the she had subsequently been "let go." OK (really?!) I sat down with my paperwork to fill out and looked at the two women sitting in the waiting area. In the awkward silence, I asked them, "was it me?" They laughed and shook their heads no. I then refilled out all of the forms. While I was doing so, the office manager came out from behind the desk to tell me she'd figured out why I had been mistakenly been sent a link. I listened, then said... "but it wasn't the patient's fault, right?" She didn't respond to my question but continued to explain. Again I listened, and when she paused, again I asked... "but it wasn't the patient's fault, right?" I'm pretty sure we went one more "round" before she realized I was asking for an apology for the way she had tried to bully my into thinking this was my fault, and she finally acknowledged it was not my fault... never apologizing. She then asked me to call my insurance company to make sure their practice was "in network." I told her I'd already done that, but I used my insurance company app to look up the doctors and the practice and showed her that they were listed. In short, I feel as though she did everything to try and prevent me from becoming a patient. Or offend me so that I would walk out. Update: After having accepted all insurance cards at my first visit, I subsequently received a bill. After the rude behavior I endured on my first visit. I decided not to trust a phone call and visited the office to question (and settle) the bill in person. I was simply told they didn't accept my insurance. What? Bottom line - they did want me as a patient, but they didn't want to actually say it. So they did everything possible to alienate me. Done. But why? Is it because I am a POC? Is it because they can't or don't want to care for a woman of a certain age who has chronic, post cancer issues? Or is it because they are just unfeeling? It almost doesn't matter. Clearly they did not want me. And quite frankly, why would I trust them with my health? I paid the bill and left. I made arrangements for my healthcare elsewhere sitting in their parking lot. Done and done.
