Flanked by an optician on the left and a dentist on the right, the privately-owned Medical Center At Westend specializes in internal medicine and treats all comers who walk through its glass front doors, except pregnant women.
The offices share two waiting areas in a compact, carpeted foyer where all patients are greeted by a receptionist from behind a glass case. No appointments are necessary and no payment plans are available. Still, the hospital accepts all medical insurance except HMO.
