Me cambiaron a una nueva nurse practicioner porque el proveedor anterior se retiro de este consultorio. Me dijo que era una persona saludable lo cual me parece perfecto, pero si le menciono que tengo mucho dolor despues de mi cirugia y dolor en la rodilla muy doloroso como lo deberia de tomar? Pues ahora tengo que practicamente por mi cuenta buscar soluciones caseras para mitigar el dolor. Desde que llegue me estuvo preguntando si tenia seguro medico o si tenia financiero porque ella no vea nada en el sistema; creo que ella estaba mis preocupada en como pagaria la consulta de ese dia. Prefiero que para un futuro puedan cambiarme de proveedor gracias. [They changed me to a new nurse practitioner because the other provider retired from this office. She told me I was healthy which sounds perfect to me, but if I mention I have a lot of pain after my surgery and pain in my knee, very painful, how should I take it? As of now, I have to practically look for home remedies to alleviate my pain. Ever since I arrived she began asking me if I have health insurance because she didn't see anything in the system; I think she was more worried for how I would pay for that day's consultation. In the future, I prefer to change providers, thanks].
