Find Urinalysis (UA) Test
in West Liberty, OH.

Woke up with a very sudden sore throat as the primary issue. My ears sore, swelling & fatigue. It’s not often I feel ill enough to book an appt with urgent care but this had such a quick onset I didn’t feel wise to wait or push though it. The front desk staff & initial nurse were kind & friendly. The facility was very clean & easily accessible. However, the primary doctor was cold & not very helpful or insightful. I was refused antibiotics even though my ears showed signs of infection. I am an adult in 30s & had a tonsillectomy almost a year ago to improve my health. This past procedure was used as an excuse why I shouldn’t have antibiotics. More of an assumption of being exposed to too much antibiotics, which I do not agree with. Doctor told me to watch out for my ears so they don’t rupture because they are bulging. The only meds prescribed were allergy. Then instructed to rotate pain meds. This is the first time I have felt sick since having tonsils removed & is still new in some ways to navigate. I’m five days past the urgent care appt & feel absolutely miserable. I’ve taken meds as instructed & got worse. My throat & ears have lots of pain. I called the urgent care back to no avail or additional aid beyond suggesting for me come in again, which would charge me again. Luckily my primary care doctor was able to see me. I was diagnosed with a severe ear infection on top of a sinus infection that my body has clearly been fighting hard over. I was prescribed steroids & antibiotics at my primary doctor visit. There was little understanding why urgent care didn’t do this in the first place. Definitely feel that I was not taken seriously at urgent care, so the overall experience was extremely upsetting. Advice would be to resolve what is noticed within very first visit, so whatever is going on doesn’t worsen.
