UPMC Urgent Care – Monroeville

Upon arrival I was treated in a timely fashion. The receptionist was really nice and expedient. She knew her job. The nurse who called me back was also very nice. Took my blood pressure with a smile, gave me my results, and told me that the doctor would be in shortly. That’s when the whole experience went to hell in a handbag. I explained to the doctor where I was feeling pain. I told him It was a deep internal pain like it was my lungs (my exact words) he never took his stethoscope off of his neck to even check my breathing! He told me I had shingles. I’m like dude, I don’t have shingles! I’ve had shingles before and I actually was diagnosed in this very room! Then he said you look like you workout. I said I do. He said– well you strained your muscle. Once again I told him, my rhomboid muscle is fine. This doctor had the nerve to tell me I strained the muscles in between my ribs! Wt (heck)! Who strains that muscle? Not to mention that he never even made physical contact to examine me. So he proceeded to write me a script for pain medication, and muscle relaxers. I went home and the pain got worse so I’m thinking that the medicine is not working so I went to the emergency room. To make a long story short I had blood clots on my lungs and my kidneys weren’t functioning correctly!!! I spent two and a half days in the hospital, was told that I had just made it, or I possibly could have died, leaving out with blood thinners and needles to inject myself (another form of blood thinners), a diet of what I can and can’t eat but the doctor that I depended on for answers diagnosed me with strained muscles in between my ribs. I wouldn’t recommend this place to satan himself! Worst Urgent Care experience EVER!!!
