Allmed Medical Center of South Bronx

Two days ago, I called All Med up and asked to make an appointment to refill my birth control prescription. I am new to the area, and having started a job in the South Bronx, this location was the most convenient for me, considering I work long hours and have trouble making appointments before offices close. Unfortunately, the lady I spoke to on the phone told me they could not make a doctor’s appointment late enough for me to get off work, and they instead suggested I visit their urgent care because they would «definitely» be able to get me a prescription. I went that day, and although the hours on the sign said open until 6pm, it was already closed at 5:30pm. Today, I sprinted out of work and made it there by 5pm. The receptionist then proceeded to tell me that the doctor refused to fill birth control prescriptions. «I already know he will tell you to get over-​the-​counter birth control or visit an OBGYN,» she told me. Not gonna lie, I was so taken aback, I didn’t even register at first that she was telling me to go buy condoms. When that realization finally set in, I asked her if he would fill the prescription if the birth control was used to control my migraines with auras, which are caused by hormones. She said, «maybe,» which made it only more glaringly clear to me that his issue with birth control is rooted in sexism and out-​dated notions about sex before marriage. She went to the back, and he apparently informed her that he would, in fact, not prescribe me birth control, no matter the reason behind my need for it.
After a few muttered profanities under my breath and many profuse apologizes on her part, I left. Not only was the urgent care facility almost empty, so it would have been more than easy for him to see me, but also I was specifically told by All Med that I would be able to receive a birth control prescription through Urgent Care.
I am extremely disappointed with the service that I received at All Med Urgent Care. I only wish I had asked for the physician’s name, so I could personally call him out on Unilocal.I hope All Med investigates his practices because he clearly lacks professionalism.
