Went in with an ear ache and no voice. Nurse did swab for Covid, flu, and strep nurse practitioner came in and said I had Covid. I left there and did two other test with the same exact test used at the facility and the test were negative. They were ran by nurses as well. I went back to the facility to talk to them about it and the nurse was very defensive and would not give me another test even though I showed her the two negative tests that I just received. This is not good because I’m staying with a family member at a hospital and I was unable to go back due to the fact that I had a Covid diagnosis. I had to get another doctor to retest me so that I could go back. Test was negative so your facility let me walk out of there with a false positive and would not retest. I am not happy. Retested again today still negative.

This was my first time to Complete Urgent Care, and to be honest.. after the care I received from Stephanie yesterday, I won’t be wasting my time with another Urgent Care every again! The drive from Perkinston was well worth it! I had been severely sick since I had my second COVID shot on July 7th. Yes, I suffered for 20 days before I finally couldn’t take it anymore! Her bedside manner, the way she truly listened to me and didn’t act like I was just another person, but someone she was seriously considered about, was what will bring me back this clinic! 6 prescriptions and almost 24 hours later, I feel loads better already! Stephanie, I know this line of work can make you lose your sense of good in others, but please I beg you to never lose how caring and loving you are for patients! I only wish I could have you as my regular PC!
