After a visit with her for a possible UTI due to discomfort in the vaginal area, we received a response from her that the urine test was negative. Great. When asked what the next steps would be, expecting to hear that a visit with a specialist either in gynecology or urology was recommended, she said to go to urgent care. That is a step in the wrong direction. Better advice should have been given.

I like her. I feel like she gets my basic concerns. It's nice that she's not decades younger than me, because I feel like I can talk about what I feel is going on and she's going to be in the ballpark of my experience in a way that I'm not sure a fresh med school graduate would be.

Because I came in on New Year's Eve with a breast infection. It was about 5 pm and Ms. Menchaca sent me to the ER because radiology was closing down. The ER didn't help me much. I spent hours there just to get antibiotic pills. That would have been easier.

It’s been 3 weeks since my physical, and I haven’t received any follow-up calls about my test results. I checked Optum online and saw that some of the results don’t look good. I was expecting at least a call about that.
