I sent this email to them and called them and no attempt was made to remedy the situation. No email response was received.

When I go in to a Medical office to receive treatment I expect that the staff is going to be friendly and knowledgeable. I work with food in a high risk population (elderly people). If they get sick it is likely that they will not recover. Now onto my story. I received very friendly service from the first person that came in and did my blood pressure but received jokes and mockery about my health from Jay O'Brien, PA-C. Jay introduced himself as a Doctor and that in itself is very deceiving. The Doctor title to me says that someone has over 8 years of schooling and probably quite a bit of real life experience. I didn't pay the high price office visit to see a man with a Bachelors degree and I didn't even realize that Jay was not a Doctor until I looked it up on the internet. My prescription Cough Syrup bottle even says "Dr." on it. When he first came in and did tests on me like the lung breathing test and a strep test. He quickly ruled out that I didn't have Strep although you and I both know that the instant tests do not test for all kinds of strep so this statement showed me a first taste of his stupidity and lack of professional behavior. He then proceeded to laugh and mock my sickness and pain. I have a history of bronchitis and pneumonia so this is not my first time seeing a Doctor or should I say PA-C. He came in and said "strep test is negative" "what now?". Like I was supposed to diagnose myself. I told him that usually I get Anti-Biotics and they cure me. He proceeded to laugh and said "That's not going to happen!". Then he proceeded to explain about how people get sick and its the natural order of things telling me that I was young and healthy and I would be fine by the morning assuming he knew more about my body than me. After he explained that he said "Come on lets go" and got up and walked out of the room basically kicking me out of the office and not allowing me to ask any further questions. Now normally this would have been fine and I would have accepted his diagnosis but the next day (Today) my fever jumped from 91.4 - 101.7. I didn't sleep the whole night, soaked my bed with sweat, and I continued to cough up yellow mucous. Jay said I would be fine to go to work and serve my high risk population food with my 101.7 fever. Obviously I didn't listen to him and stayed home anyways because a minor illness to one of them could be deadly. In conclusion I felt that it was very deceiving for Jay to introduce himself and give me the image that he was a Doctor, his diagnosis could have led to the death of one of my elderly population if I decided to listen to him and go into work coughing up yellow mucous having a fever of 101.7 and serving food. He gave me a prescription for Cough Syrup but the pain that I was in needed and still needs more pain relieving. I didn't sleep all last night because of the pain and sweating and the Cough Syrup did nothing to suppress it. I thought I would tell you this story and let you know that I am very dissatisfied with the service I received and am not coming back. It would be nice if you could prescribe me something that would take away the pain so I can get some sleep. I told me mom about this and she was appalled saying that she received a similar experience last time she went to Mountain Medical Center.
