Covington Clinic South - Urgent Care - Valley Medical Center

I have been using this urgent care for about 14 years for various reasons. Chronic migraines being one of them. I would frequently come in for a toradol shot as it's not a narcotic, and worked better than tylenol or aleve. The last few times I've been in, twice I had Dr. Mehta. He refused to give me the shot because I'm allergic to ibuprofen. I told him I've had the shot from this clinic multiple times in the past, pull up the record. He looks in the computer, lies to my face, and says theres no record of that and sent me away. I was there twice in that same week because that migraine lasted 8 days. The second time I went in, I was hoping for a different provider. Nope, Dr. Mehta again. Again told no shot. Wound up at my primary care dr for the shot.

Most recently, went back to the UC for another migraine on 2/25/21. I saw Gurvinder Dhillon, ARNP. She was completely worthless. Told me I couldn't have the shot because I was taking the same medications I have been taking for years, and it might cause a reaction. Literally, the same medications every other time they have given me the shot at that clinic, and it might cause a reaction. I said, so you aren't going to do anything for the pain. She said no, just keep doing what you're doing. If that was working, I wouldn't have wasted my time going there in the first place. I got billed 102.59 for them to check vitals and tell me to keep taking tylenol. She was completely worthless. Wound up going back to my primary care dr for the shot.

And here I sit with another migraine. I'll tell you what...
I'd rather risk dying of a brain aneurysm than to go back there and ask them for help for my migraine. What a joke.

4 stars given because they are wonderful in every other area like acute injury, illness, asthma issues. Dr. Nijjar is absolutely amazing. If you need a PCP, and he's accepting new patients, I highly recommend him. Awesome bedside manner.

Dr Nijjar at UC was awesome! He talked me into a cortisone shot for my tendinitis and I'm glad he did. Ive had bad experiences in the past with joint injections and somehow made it painless

I arrived right at 8am as a walk in, and they were able to see my right away. I came in for a simple issue, but I was in and out in 20 minutes. I felt the staff was organized and professional. I felt comfortable with the COVID guidelines they were following. The building was very clean.

My only complaint is that the website does not allow you to schedule an appointment until 8am when they open. It would be helpful if I could schedule an 8am appointment before 8am. Fortunately, on this day, coming in as a walk up was not an issue.
