Buena Vista Urgent Care

Not recommended!

I needed urgent medical care and had to choose between this doctor and the emergency room. Needless to say we chose to go to the urgent care only because the long wait and expenses for emergency care was prohibitive. The following happened to us during our visit…

- We waited 1.5 hours to see the doctor for all of 3 mins of his time.

- Doctor confirmed that my daughter had an ear infection after we told him of the symptoms. He just looked at one ear but didn’t bother to check to see if both ears were infected.

- Office staff made us to pay for the full visit even though we had insurance and should only be paying a small copay.

- While waiting, we witnessed the office staff arguing with an unemployed woman. Apparently the woman, who had no insurance, was returning to get her claim paperwork signed because it wasn’t done properly by the office the first time around. When she pleaded to the doctor to waive the fee to sign the paperwork, he brushed her away like she was some fly. It was downright cruel, but in the end, the office made her pay a visit fee just for a signature on some claim form that they had messed up on.

My final verdict, unless you really have no choice, please STAY away from this office. If you have simple symptoms like a cold or ear infection, just visit a CVS minute clinic, or if you have something more serious, visit the hospital.

Great Doctor and Service!

Great service to me and my husband who were ill with a stomach virus. Dr Daryanani and the staff were very friendly and the wait was less than 30 min which was great considering the hosiptals were more than 2 hours! I would recommend this urgent care to anyone needing medical care.

Willing to put me and my baby's health at risk

by KRS89 at Citysearch

Needed to be seen for an infection, but am pregnant, so I obviously clearly stated this on the sheet you fill out when you first come in and made sure the nurse knew. I was immediately doubted by the nurse who very apparently thinks because I have not been seen by a doctor and given a due date that I am not pregnant (my appoint. with the OB was set for 2 days later). Dr. Daryanani entered the room, never once asked about my pregnancy, did his mini exam, wrote the prescription and left the room. I figured.. Well, since I made it very clear that I am pregnant (whether seen by Dr. or not) that he would take the necessary precautions and prescribe something safe. (any Dr. who genuinely practices medicine and has the best interest of their patients in mind would). I was prescribed a Class C rated drug (known birth defects, complications, etc.. during pregnancy and should not be taken unless there is no other option). There are many other SAFE Class B rated drugs on the market. I called the Dr. after realizing what I had been prescribed (which states directly on the bottle DO NOT TAKE IF PREGNANT). He was very nasty and told me the drug was perfectly ok. He states: "Well your home pregnancy test was negative, right?"... Why in the world would I think I was pregnant if I got a negative answer on a pregnancy test??? What an ignorant response for a DOCTOR! I hung up and discussed it with my fiance and neither of us were comfortable with me taking the drug. We called and talked to the pharmacist who said she personally would NOT continue taking it. I called the Dr. back the next morning, receiving this answer on the other line "Go ahead" and after I explained that I would like to be written a different and safer prescription he asked for the pharmacy number. I did not have it immediately in front of me, and he was VERY impatient and told me call back when I had it, then hangs up. I will never go back to him, nor will I ever give him a good reference. He failed in practicing medicine in my book and was willing to put my baby's health at risk.

GREAT URGENT CARE!

My husband had a severe toothache while we were here on EASTER SUNDAY of all days! I called the clinic from Epcot at 4:15 PM. Dr. Daryanani not only gave us GREAT directions, he waited until we arrived at 5:00 PM. 10 minutes and $30 (wow!) later we were on our way with prescriptions in hand! He was amazing and saved the rest of our vacation. I highly recommend him, just a couple of miles from Disney!

• Pros: Great urgent care!
• Cons: None
