Covington Elizabeth, MD

This Dr. Covington is just full of shyt, her staff are so rude ass, especially that so-​call manager assistant they have and that old lady trying to fix all problems and she is not all that professional. The staff has no manners, no professionalism, they are so ghetto how they talk.
After my experience with the so call Dr. rude does not provide patient quality time, she wont not listen to my questions, i was soooo sick and this bytch Dr. can not provide prescription for my medication. I called back for a follow-​up with labs and it was a waste of time. the following week, I change providers, I personally will not recommend this Dr. to anyone not unless its a desperate and even though People go to ER or nearest URGENT care. Dr. Covington should close her darn worthless clinic and go home she dont function and has the worst customer service there.
THIS CLINIC SUCKS 100%, AND ITS NOT A JOKE.!!
Good Recommendation need to fix your nasty clinic and fire all that nasty rude ass employee and hire NEW and well manner employee they make you clinic and yourself look all fuked up. Or Just Closed your nasty clinic and go home.

I scheduled an appointment with Dr Convington to get a prescription allergy medicine.
She never wrote the prescription. Instead she demanded that I get a pelvic exam, pap and blood work. I told her I didn’t need any of that since I have a regular OBGYN. She insisted so I agreed to just the blood work.
After my visit, I left her office with a huge bruise on my arm from her nurse that couldn’t find a vein if her life depended on it and NO ALLERGY MEDICINE.
To make it worse, a month later I received a bill for $ 240 for the blood work that I really didn’t need!

I was contacted by Dr. Covington’s office because she took over the patients of my former Doctor. Months later I called to make an appointment, but no one answered the phone. I left a message stating who my former doctor was and that I would like to schedule an appointment. No one ever called me back. A few weeks later I called again and said I wanted to schedule an appointment. I was put on hold and then the lady on the other end tells me that the person who does the scheduling for my former doctor’s patients is on the other phone. She takes my contact information and says the scheduler would call me back. 6 hours pass and I don’t receive a phone call so I call back AGAIN. I was then told that all I had to do was come to the office Monday through Friday between certain times to fill out paperwork and to bring my medical records and they would more than likely be able to schedule a same day appointment.
I was irritated that this wasn’t told to me the first time I spoke with someone, but I decided to go in the very next day since I had the day off from work. I get there fill out my paperwork on an old electronic «notepad» that resembled an old school See N Say toy that had a very temperamental touchscreen. After I’m finished the girl at the front desk says the soonest available appointment is nearly 2 months away because Dr. Covington is «highly demanded.»
I explain my situation and what I was told on the phone by someone, but all the front desk girl could reply was the same tired line, «Dr. Covington is highly demanded.»
I ultimately walked out with nothing since I had wasted and hour of my time driving down there for what I thought was going to by my appointment to see a doctor. Honestly, who has drop in hours to fill out paperwork? EVERY doctor that I have ever been to has the patient come in 15 – 30 minutes BEFORE the appointment to fill out the paperwork.
Unless I am DESPERATE and have no other choice, I will NEVER be visiting this facility again. An hour there, an hour back home and gas wasted all because of INCOMPETENT office staff. What a waste!

I agree with the other reviewer… 1 star for the nice nurse that took my blood pressure. As for the rest of my doctors visit, I couldn’t tell you because after waiting for 2 hours (30 min. of that ½ naked on the exam table) I was told that the doctor had a family emergency and needed to move my apt. to the next day. I’m not so insensitive that I can’t understand that emergencies happen… BUT this was not my first attempt at seeing the doc… my FIRST apt. was ALSO canceled by the doctor due to an emergency. At least that time I was lucky enough to receive a phone call the day before to cancel. This time I took time off from work and was in her office for 2 hours before being told. After reading the other reviews, I see I am not alone in thinking that something is really wrong here. I’m going back now to get my co-​pay back and cancel my 3^rd attempt at seeing the good doctor. I also called my health insurance company and made a formal complaint. They are opening an investigation into this doctors office. I suggest you eat an apple a day to keep this doctor away.

Horrible attitude. So rude! Made me get a physical when I came in when I had a cold, lectured me because my roommates smoke, and as a result, ordered an x-​ray to show me my lungs. She ordered blood work for no reason, which I ended up being charged for. I will never go back to her. Don’t waste your time or money!

If I could give this MD negative stars I would. I fell in Nov with a injury to my ankle. I was out on disability for the fall. I came to visit her today to get my disability extended. I brought my MRI, xrays, diagnosis from the orthopedic surgeon and she would not extend my disability. I was even in a brace. Besides keeping me waiting almost 30min when the office was empty, she spent the majority of the time telling me how overweight I was and that I needed a trainer. So how do you suppose I can afford a trainer when I am on disability and how am I suppose to work out when I can barely walk. And on top of that she took my 100 $ for nothing. Horrible, old lady.

The one star goes to the nurse. She was really nice. Other than that the rest of the staff are terrible. The girl in the front rude rude rude. The doctor was terrible as well. I went in for an irritation and see if I can get some medicine and she didn’t even check the irritated skin. She did a physical which I didn’t even ask for. All I wanted was a cream for my irritated skin. Second: I asked her to write the name of the cream and she didn’t even have a note pad. She wrote the names on the paper that goes on the bed. Terrible! Never coming back. Please don’t waste your time coming to this doctor. My insurance assigned me this doctor. I regret even making an appointment. And even worse wasting my $ 20 and the whole morning in that place.

I would give this office a zero if I could. Dr. Covington is rude and dismissive and her staff are incompetent. Do not go here. Save yourself the agony and frustration.

This woman is sooooooo mean. I asked her for help with a multitude of issues I had been waiting to talk to «my» new doctor about. After waiting 7 weeks for an appointment, She told me I needed discipline. She embarrassed me and made me feel bad in front of my 12 year old daughter, by calling me out on what I had asked her for help for in the first place. (Smoking).
The staff is equally as rude. Mimi will warm up to you after a while,(the Hispanic lady is extra extra nice), but this «Ayana» girl is the nastiest ever. She’s been sitting at the front desk– in front of the entire office and waiting area snapping at everyone who calls. She has zero social skills. She’s basically a rat. One of those girls that goes to some random med assistant school on Crenshaw, then acts like she’s in a power position. You slide glass, boo. Calm down. When I first got here– yes-I’m here, I got to the window, told her what I was here for, and we spoke at the same time… She didn’t like that. As a result, I stood there holding the form– THAT is $ 20 to fill out-(a signature), while she answered the phone, typed something into the database, and came back to me when it was convenient for her. I hate this place. I can’t wait to change doctors. If it weren’t for my daughter desperately needing this form filled out to bring meds to school, I would be happy to never see this doctor, or any of these people EVER again. STAY AWAY. STAAAAYYYY AAWWWAAAYYYYY!!!
For the record, in this day and age, with so many businesses in competition with each other… so many services available to us by soooo many different service providers… with the pie being the same size and the slices getting smaller… the internet, reviews, social media, and sites like Unilocal… You should probably consider treating your clients, customers, and patients, with the respect they deserve. Then– maybe– your reviews won’t be by people preaching to people to AVOID you and your business. Also– hire a cast of individuals who will actually smile at those of us that chose you. Maybe a charming, friendly… hell– warm person. You are a doctors office, after all.
God Bless that mess… you’re welcome.
