Nov 02, 2025
took my mom to urgen scripps at Jefferson today and she siting for 40 minutes in waiting room Dr Richard Pfeiffer showed up very angry with the nurse AND Said why YOU Are here today and followed by saying in you’re Chart the urologist has documented on September don't come here unless you developed a body ache or fever because we can’t Treat anymore since ALL Antibiotic doesn’t seem worked for uti. Again I mentioned that my mom has pain during urinating AND has low fever as your triage nurse checked here in and Said 98.8 here temperature was . But He’s angrly Said YOU can use azo over the counter for one to two weeks. So my concerns were dismissed without proper examination or even compassion. Dr .Pfeiffer AND his nurse refused to treat me or to come back here for uti symptoms unless I develop fever or bossy ache. As patient I should be made to feel this way when seeking medical. Feeling down and my experience with this visit was not as pleasant.
