So first, I always have agreed with freedom of speech and expression Iu2019m pretty moderate myself with politics but this was over the top. Trumps photo. A trump elf on the shelf. u201cMake America healthy againu201d hat. Among other trump things. Political books. Literally nothing of medical purpose or knowledge whatsoever. Kinda makes you wonder how obsessed with the guy you truly are but okay. The anti masking was really sad. Especially with the papers posted in each room with terrible grammar mistakes in it. Politics have no business in healthcare. Masking is a choice and you shouldnu2019t be preaching to vulnerable people who are seeking healthcare attention. Also maybe you guys wouldnu2019t be closed all of the time like all of the other reviews.. if you sometimes wore a mask while being within close contact of highly contagious patients. Just a thought.After being asked not once. Not twice. But three times if Iu2019m absolutely positive I couldnu2019t be pregnant I knew for a fact this man was a joke. Iu2019ve worked side by side with multiple incredibly smart physicians that I would trust with my life over countless years. This man had nothing to tell me. No test. Nothing. I walked away with what I knew before I walked in there. Also. Before you take your loved ones there.. you might want to do your research on him. Kicking myself for not doing my own before hand.

Went to see the doctor at urgent care a few weeks ago. The establishment was closed due to u201cthe doctor having a stomach bugu201d which was the same reason I was there. So I went the next day and told them I wasnu2019t as ill as yesterday and asked if they could still provide a prescription and doctors note. The doctor never came into the room and they basically handed me a doctors note excusing me from work from the day prior. A week went by and I received a letter in the mail stating they would no longer provide me with doctors notes as I am an u201cabuseru201d. I called the office to inquire about the letter and the doctor told me firefighters tend to abuse doctors notes. That he had a firefighter patient who has asked for more than 10 doctors notes in the last year or so. I told him this has nothing to do with me and that I came to his practice the day of my work schedule but that I would still need a doctors note due to working for the federal government. He told me thanks for calling and hung up. If you are a military vet/first responder, DONu2019T be fooled by his political propaganda in his waiting room. This man is a disgrace and no supporter of ours. Find another more professional medical professional to help you.

Dr Dee saw my son and got him diagnosed with meds in hand and back home in less time than driving to Edgewater. The staff was friendly and the office super clean. Iu2019m so happy we tried this place! This is our new urgent care!! 10/10

I give one star because my father got the care he needed. I cannot give more because while sitting in the waiting room I clearly heard the doctor discussing a patient by first and last name, even spelling the last name. This is a distressing breach of privacy. I also do not believe politics should be part of medical care. A doctor may choose not to recommend masks based on limited and/or inconclusive research, but to ban them when patients may have a cough or compromised immune system, two situations in which the research has shown masks to be a beneficial safeguard, is irresponsible and certainly putting politics above patients.

I was looking for a place to go, and the pictures posted here show no mask allowed sign on the door.Another friend showed me a pic of a sign posted inside about how the science says masks are ineffective, which is flat out wrong.My husband is a doctor of molecular genomics and you know what he uses? A MASK. When that's not enough, he uses a PAPR, which is another kind of MASK. For over 25 years. Would you also ask a construction worker going in to work with fiberglass or asbestos not to mask? Masks that are designed to keep people safe (specifically, N95s) work when worn correctly. If a medical professional's political stance means they can't follow decades of peer-reviewed research, I don't want then handling my complex medical issues. And even for simple ones--you could go in for a tetanus shot and leave with flu, covid, or RSV? Do they believe in handwashing? Because that was also controversial in its infancy. Norovirus is awfully high right now and is not killed with hand sanitizer... you have to actually wash those buggers down the drain.I hope future patients will hold this place accountable and make a place where you go to treat sickness, not get sick. I just decided not to go.
