He was fine. He did present an option for medicine which I guess I heard wrong. I thought he said Premarin (?) and he apparently said pyridium which I have tons of and use on and off regularly. As a person with urinary issues that is the very first medicine we use.

Dr. Was compassionate and thorough. He didn’t make me feel rushed yet was still efficient. Got my Rx in immediately so I could start to heal, and filed my tests so my experience at Urgent Care was quick.
