I had visited this practice several times as a student due to a painful and reoccurring tonsil infection that would come close to developing into an abscess. I saw numerous doctors at the same facility, since they only offer same day appointments and I never got to see the same doctor twice. The majority were patronizing and it seemed they lacked sufficient experience. They dismissed my infection, didn't pay attention to what I was saying, and until they had enough,made an effort for me to see an expert after several visits. Some made it seem like I was lying or I was a hypochondriac. Turns out I had chronic tonsillitis that would turn into peritonsillar cellulitis, which is a precursor to an abscess and needed an urgent tonsillectomy.
