Waste of time and money by TheAngryBlonde w. at InsiderPages
I went here because I don't have a local Dr. and was been in severe pain for almost a week. I thought perhaps I had pulled a muscle, but when the pain didn't go away and in fact intensified, it was time to see a Dr. I do not have insurance, nor do I have a lot of money, so I thought that MedExpress would be a good alternative.
The Doctor here spent all of 3 minutes with me, before ordering an x-ray. She listened to my breathing and tested my reflexes....THAT WAS ALL. After the x-ray, she told me she couldn't see anything, dished out a prescription for some heavy duty pain pills (lortab) and told me I had to go and get an MRI and see a Neurologist. An MRI can cost upwards of $1,000 and just to walk through the door at a Neurologist office is $450.
So, all of this, the total of 5 minutes that the Dr. spent with me, the x-rays that were not even taken in the spot that was bothering me came to a grand total of $180. I could have had the same results if I took a bunch of $20 bills and put them through the shredder.
I went to a chiropractor instead and it's new a couple of weeks later and I am almost pain free. She found I had a pinched nerve and I am slowly getting better.
I will never go back to MedExpress again. They gave me heavy duty pain medication without knowing anything about me and the end result was a waste of my time and money. They might be good for cuts and sprains, but in my opinion, that's probably about it.
