DD #2 helath was worsening overnight into Day 3. Fever and restlessness, just feeling miserable at this point. Upon awakening, we called the medical clinic number provided by WDW on the resort information sheet.
Things started out pretty well, the clinic opens at 8 am,DW spoke with the clinic staff who infromed us that they provide a free shuttle and will pick us up at El Centro at
The driver was on time and very pleasant. We made one other stop (at Pop Century) for another ill family, then we were off to the clinic. Just an FYI, there a a couple of the clinics near WDW and a dispatcher directs them to less busy one.
We arrived les than 15 min. later at the clinic, you check in at the desk, provide your insurance card and then you register on a computerized system. As I was attempting to register, (my computer had shut down and they had to get a staff member to get it functioning again) more folks kept coming in.
So the wait began, about two and half hrs till we were seen. The staff, from check in to RN's to the Physician were all professional and friendly.
Once the assessment began, treatment was rapid. DD's temp was 101 even with Motrin. With a diagnosis of Bilateral ear infections and strep throat, my DD was given antibiotics in the treatment room. I was given a prescription for an oral antibiotic. Connected to the clinic, but not affiliated with it, was a private pharmacy. I was able to get her prescription filled in short order. The only downside, the pharmacy does not accept insurance,only cash or credit etc.
With our DD now treated and ready to go, all I had to do was request the shuttle van by stopping at the front desk and requesting a return trip to our resort.
The van returned quickly, we shared the return with the same family, and we were back at CSR around 12:30.
Any questions regarding this clinic, pm me and I will help in any way that I can.
