Redimed

My sister went to redimed in Newhaven. Very sick and in serious need of an antibiotic the young doctor on staff literally brought her to tears and still would not give her an antibiotic she had to call the administrative assistant for this location within moments she was out the door and on our way to CVS to buy her a prescription that she had asked for 2 hours prior this is such a shame

Long waits followed by ‘take a sudafed d’…hard to be happy with that. Had a great experience once with a competent doctor, but the last two have been sad at best. There is no compassion and no efficiency. Went to parkview which accurately diagnosed my infection. If redimed would have listened…

I ended up at Redimed on Saturday April 7^th. On Friday I had tripped on some in even pavement while walking my dogs and I had a nasty fall. Fell right on my right wrist. By Friday night it was quite painful and swollen. On Saturday morning my husband and I went over to Redimed and arrived about 10 minutes before they opened. There were already 3 people there waiting. They opened the doors and it took 45 minutes before I was called into an exam room. Then the X-​ray and diagnosis of a sprain took another 45 minutes. I guess that isn’t too bad, but they could stand to have more people working there. After only having the doors open for 15 min, the waiting room was full! Thank goodness we got there before they actually opened. Honestly, I hate Redimed. It really is second rate care.

The holidays, not being one of my favorite emotional times of the year, often lead to me getting sick, which is how I deal with almost any type of stress. This year, I have had a cold that has lingered for about two months, peaking with a lovely sinus infection that attacked my immune system right as I flew from Burbank to Indianapolis for Thanksgiving. FUN!
I’d been sick that week, but was feeling better until I got on the plane on Friday. (A pause to thank our sponsor, Airborne — tastes like ass, but keeps you well! I should have taken some before I left home.) I woke up Saturday morning at my sister’s house feeling horrible and spouting ectoplasm like an infected whale.
I called my doctor hoping for a prescription, but got the on-​call doctor instead, who wasn’t very sympathetic and was actually quite a douchey, unhelpful bastard.(I’ll write that review later.) My sister recommended I head over to Redimed, a nearby clinic, to get checked out.
There was plenty of parking and taking care of paperwork with the front desk was easy and quick. I did have to wait about 20 minutes in the waiting room (and about another 20 minutes after being examined by a nurse) but overall, the staff was quick, efficient, friendly, and helpful. I paid $ 25 and the rest was covered, since they accept most insurance plans, including UnitedHealth, which I have.
I received a prescription for a 10-​day course of antibiotics (Biaxin, which I don’t recommend because it leaves a really nasty taste in your mouth for hours) and a free sample of melt-​away Allegra for my allergies. These I do recommend; they taste yummy! Don’t eat them like candy, though, or you’ll go blind.*

Within a couple of days, I was feeling much better and rushing around town doing my Christmas shopping and staying up late gossiping and having drinks with my sister and her husband. Redimed, thanks for making my holiday healthy!
