My eyes over scan while I'm driving which is confusing my other senses. He gave me some exercises to do to help with my condition. He also said their are some medication's I could take. But the meds will not fix the problem just dull it. He also said I may have this condition the rest of my life. So I'll give the exercises a try and see how that pans out. But I don't think I'll go for the meds. The good thing is like the good doctor said it won't kill ya. So I hoping these exercises will work or at least tone it down a bit.

RIFM has provided quality care for my complex conditions (POTS, MCAS, hyper mobility) and I feel…read moreextremely lucky to be a patient of theirs. I have been dismissed by many doctors who thought my symptoms were just anxiety. After many years and seeing many doctors I was finally diagnosed with POTS. I thought the hard part was over, but I was wrong. Finding a doctor who wants to treat POTS is even harder. Dr. Hartman doesn't shy away from hard. I've seen Dr. Hartman for many years and he is one of the smartest doctors I've ever come across. He listens, understands, and partners with you to come up with solutions to help manage my conditions. He has run tests that most doctors don't that have uncovered causes of some of my symptoms. He is constantly learning new information, thinks outside the box, and shares this knowledge with his patients. Not only have I had such positive experiences with Dr. Hartman, but I have had positive experiences with both of his nurse practitioners Jodi Caddell and Veronica Porterfield. Recently, Ms. Porterfield saw me for an illness and possible tick bite infection and she spent so much time with me and followed up with me when I was having issues and questions, even calling me on her personal time on a Sunday night. Never have I felt more cared for. I have not seen Dr. Jenski but know people who do see him and have just as amazing things to say about him. RIFM is filled with providers who truly care about you and want to help you find solutions to feel your best. Don't hesitate to join this practice - you won't regret it!

I requested medical leave in 2017 and again as I type this post due to clinical depression &…read moregeneralized anxiety disorder; in which Dr. Heatwole made difficult. In order to have both leaves approved, he mentioned that I'd have to take meds and stay in therapy. I didn't have a problem with the therapy; but the medicine I did. My problems and what exacerbated this disorder, I knew medicine could and would never fix. Sure, I tried the Escitalopram even after being scared eand advised to take it as prescribed by Dr. Heatwole; and it helped the anxiety more than it did the depression. However, as I'd mentioned once before to him, the deep seated issues that I've been struggling with continued to take precedence over top of being in a toxic work environment. I also explained to Dr. Heatwole that I'd previously and still continue to fail at finding work from home positions or a job that would be more suitable, as I just could not simply just quit my job. Dr. Heatwole just glossed over the root issues and continued to stay heavily focused on taking medicine over top of suggesting even more medication to stabilize my sleep and mood. I really didn't like the fact that I was pressured and rushed to go back to work. In 2017 after an 8 week leave, I still wasn't well and went back anyway because he 'thought' it was best. Of course, I still felt worse than ever. My last appointment for leave was the absolute worse. I mentioned that I'd lost my brother last September, lost 30 pounds in less than a year; and he had absolutely no remorse. He told me that in 8 months (counting with his fingers), a typical person would have gotten over losing someone!!!! He also mentioned that I needed to be careful exercising, and that people with my condition take this whole weight loss and exercising thing too far. I never mentioned an eating or any body dismorphic issues, so I don't know how my comment that I lost 30 pounds went to him saying that I needed to be careful exercising. A good doctor would applaud their patient for better lifestyle choices and losing weight to stay within a recommended weight range. Also, it is highly suggested for individuals with mental health issues to exercise, so I did not understand why Dr. Heatwole would say that, despite that I didn't mention anything alarming. I was actually 28 pounds overweight prior to losing the 30 pounds, and was severely emotionally eating from 2-3 fast food meals A DAY, still no brownie points there. This time around, he suggested me to go back to work in 4 weeks because as he mentioned, "We sort of need to kind of rush this thing to get you back to work as soon as possible, because I don't want you in the house by yourself thinking about all of your problems"....well hell, being at work makes it feel like I've entered eternal damnation with my thoughts! It doesn't matter where I am, mental illness isn't just a switch to turn off! It should never be about what a doctor wants, it's about the patient's well-being and what a patient feels would be best for them. I cannot work a demanding and toxic job that has greatly contributed to me not healing or feeling any better, and I really didn't know what else to tell him. Anyone with mental illness know that it's a chronic and sometimes a life-long issue. I have been struggling for over 16 years. Dr. Heatwole seems to think that medicine would help me to cope better, and that did not happen considering the layers of stress and rooted issues were always at the forefront. It seems as if he no longer wants me as a patient based off of my last visit with those crude comments. No worries there, I won't be going back to him. Sure as he mentioned, he's been doing this for a long time and 'know' patients like me. Well, it's not right to compare patients to one another even if we struggle with the same thing. Everybody's path and level of emotional pain is different. For over 6 years, I had been seeing Dr. Heatwole and recommended him to a few peers; because of his thoroughness during previous visits. If it wasn't for how he handled these two medical leaves, I would continue to stay a patient. Perhaps he no longer has the patience to deal with my mental disorders, and surely being a sufferer, I do not either.
