Physicians Immediate Care-- Aurora

I had an appt back in TX for a cortisone shot in my shoulder scheduled for today because I have inflammation from a calcium deposit. I made a very unplanned trip to Chicago. I really needed the shot so looked for an immediate care center in my daughter’s area, in my insurance plan, found this place. I had the my xray diagnosis sent to me so I could give it to them so they could see what the issue was. I had to make an appt with a dr who would give me a cortisone shot, drove there, filled out their paperwork to be told the dr most likely wouldn’t give the shot! WHAT?! However she would give me pain meds. Again, WHAT?! You’ll give me pills which are most likely a narcotic but you won’t give me a cortisone shot?! Then the receptionist says «You can talk to the dr.» Why would I pay $ 35 to find out what I already know? These people are a waste of time.
Bottom line: If you’re a junkie in need of a fix, this is the place for you!

Doctor was great, but the place could use a better cleaning crew.

Everyone seems very nice, but I have never been here less than several hours. Lots of waiting… waiting…waiting. I was sent here for a work related injury, but I wouldn’t choose to come back.

So I woke up around 5:30 Sunday morning with a killer ear ache (I have a medical history riddled with ear-​related issues), and knew I needed to go see a doctor pronto. I looked up doctor’s offices open on a Sunday and still covered by my insurance, and came across this location. It was on my way home, and I could make an online appointment — perfect for the mothers day deadline I was on. The facility was clean and the staff were all friendly. I get in a room and see a doctor within 10 minutes, which is virtually unheard of in any medical office.
While this was all phenomenal, there was one thing that threw me for a loop (hence the missing stars). That would be the medical professionals writing down my vital statistics on a PAPER TOWEL! I mean, come on! This is 2014! There must be some other way to get my CONFIDENTIAL health statistics into your system! At least get a notepad or something, for Christ’s sake. And considering you made me sign a waiver stating I received instructions on how to get rid of the infection on an iPad, I think you can do a bit better than paper towels that I’m sure went into a trash can instead of a paper shredder.
Overall, my experience wasn’t bad, but I definitely think their confidential note taking methods need work.
