As a disabled veteran, I sought care at Springfield Clinic Urgent Care because the VA could not…read moreprovide an appointment soon enough. The check-in process was excellent--I was registered and placed in an exam room before I could even finish my paperwork. I first explained my symptoms, injuries, and what caused them to the physician assistant. A few minutes later, Dr. Campbell entered and asked me to repeat everything I had just explained. After listening to my account, I was stunned when Dr. Campbell told me she would not document how or where my injuries occurred in my medical record. I repeated her statement back to make sure I understood correctly, genuinely surprised by what I was hearing. When I asked if she considered my explanation to be hearsay, she answered, "Yes." I was taken aback. Before leaving, I asked one final question: "Do you think I'm lying to you?" She did not respond, which only added to my disbelief. For context, I had recently been arrested following a minor physical altercation, and I believe my injuries occurred while I was in the custody of Springfield law enforcement and the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office. Regardless of the circumstances, I expected my physician to accurately document the history I provided, even if it was clearly identified as my reported account. Instead, I left shocked that such a critical part of my medical history was dismissed outright rather than recorded. While the staff was prompt and courteous at first, my interaction with Dr. Campbell left me with the firm belief that Springfield Clinic Urgent Care medical professionals do not care about disabled veterans. They also banned me from ever returning because I asked to speak to someone about Dr Campbell's overt disrespect while saying I've never experienced such disrespect like that as a military veteran.

Very poor attitude with office staff. I received a call and the person who called me started to…read morerail on me because she said I was threatening the future of the doctor and her job because of the treatments I received. I started crying and asked her to stop saying this as she repeated this three times. Finally I just hung up. Doctor refused to continue care for me after ten years because he said I verbally abused her on the phone. I repeat, she called me to pick on me for the medicine I was taking for chronic illness. Funny thing is, Dr Phillips never even prescribed the medication she spoke of. She was mad because he had prescribed Tylenol 3 for a displaced fracture of a toe that wasn't healing. The other medication she was upset about was prescribed by neurology for my chronic myasthenia gravis.muscle disease. She said I was part of the epidemic of pain pill abuse! What??? He prescribed pain meds for a fracture. This just broke my spirit and my fight to get better. Thanks !!! DrPhillips and his staff as well as Springfield Clinic for doing this to a loyal patient of over ten years who is fighting to have a better life. And the pain medication had only been prescribed for a few months due to an open fracture.
