I’m a second-language English speaker, and I went there to discuss one of my medications. Instead of listening to me and helping me with the medical concern I came in for, the nurse practitioner spent time correcting my words and pronunciation. It was honestly wild and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. What bothered me even more was the way she looked at me when I spoke, as if my accent was somehow a problem. I came to a medical office for professional healthcare, not to an English-language institution to have my pronunciation evaluated. As a patient, I expected to be listened to, respected, and helped; not made to feel self-conscious about the way I speak. It was an incredibly uncomfortable and disappointing experience. I will never go back there again.
