I ran over to Safeway to get a list of his meds. Ran back, and the staff let me back in to barge in on his appt.. Dr. Has good bedside manners, and seemed to be attentive to the conversation.

I appreciate that she takes a lot of time and thorough notes. I mentioned in my first visit that my dad was a radiologist and that my GF was in med school, and she's asked about them on most of the follow up visits. There's another reviewer who mentioned that the waiting time was long - I've had that experience too, but it's offset by the attention to detail, patience to answer any questions, etc. If I were just looking to get in/get out, Dr. Dixon probably wouldn't be a doc I'd recommend. On the other hand, if you're looking for a doc who's going to take a real history, get to know you, and treat you like a person and not a number, then I'd totally recommend her.

I've been several times over the last couple years and his office is generally efficient, the staff is friendly, and they are quick to take care of refill or other issues that may arise. My coworker and I go to the same guy, and we jokingly refer to him as Dr. "Dry Toast." He's not going to win a comedy contest, isn't going to become a buddy, and isn't one of those guys that you know is so excited to see you. However, he's courteous, dedicated to his patients, and really smart. He's going to take care of you and he's going to do it well. In that regard, you couldn't pick a better guy to trust your health to. Whether that works for you or not really depends on what you're looking for in a physician--personally I'd much rather they be reliable and smart than funny.

I was told they had no appointments, but they'd leave a message for my doctor, who would get back to me. Fast forward to 2 PM. I get a call from my primary care physicians office telling me I should go to an emergency room because they believe I have meningitis‼ In a panic, I head to the ER on McCarren of Northern Nevada Medical. Thankfully, the competent staff, based on the questions I answered and an examination, diagnosed me with a viral infection. No meningitis! They dosed me with a Tylenol-Advil combination and a lidocaine patch, then sent me home with prescriptions for nausea and extra lidocaine patches. I felt guilty for taking up the time of staff and resources for an issue that could've been handled in a timely manner in my primary care physician's office, had that office not been overbooked. And I won't even go into the five hours it took from my original phone call and message of my concerns, to the phone call I received advising me to go to an ER. This all too frequent "adventure"points to the sad state of medical care in this country, with emergency rooms becoming your primary care physician.

I am writing in regard to my experience as a post-operative patient of Dr. Anthony Michael…read moreSciascia, II, MD (License No.: 16951), (Dr. Sciascia for future references), an Emergency Physician with Renown Health Systems. The following link will take you the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners where you can enter his last name and review his previous medical background and training (https://nsbme.mylicense.com/verification/Search.aspx). Earlier this week, I had the misfortune of interacting with Dr. Sciascia in one of the Emergency Rooms (ER) associated with Renown Medical Center. I have never come into contact with such a rude, condescending, and offensive health care provider. I should note that I, too, am a doctor and Federal Law Enforcement Officer, so I deal with difficult personalities on a daily basis. I would also like to note that I would never treat any of my patients, no matter who they are or what they've done, the way Dr. Sciascia treated me. This is unacceptable, and I intend on bringing this to the attention of anyone who may come into contact with this physician, someone who should not be allowed to treat patients. When I went to the ER, I was two days post-op, and in a considerable amount of pain. As I previously mentioned, I was unlucky to have Dr. Sciascia pick up my case. From the first moment I met him, there was something odd about his demeanor and he had the worst bedside demeanor I have ever witnessed. My friend that accompanied me to the ER said the exact thing, and she actually picked up on this vibe before I did. As an aside, all of the nurses were flabbergasted by my account of what occurred during my interactions with Dr. Sciascia. Long story short, Dr. Sciascia essentially accused me of drug-seeking, and told me that he didn't believe that I was actually experiencing pain, despite being 2 days postop. Dr. Sciascia was literally trying to instigate an argument with me, which I refused to engage in. He compared to me heroin addicts, which I am not, as well as misusing my pain medication, which I did not. Dr. Sciascia then compared me to other patients he has seen with "broken bones sticking" sticking out of their skin and that they refused to take any medication at all. First of all, I dislike being compared to other people, especially when their injuries are not even close to what my surgery or pain entailed. As a man, Dr. Sciascia does not know how painful certain 'female conditions' can be, so it is extremely rude to dismiss as if it meant nothing. Dr. Sciascia invalidated the pain I was experiencing, and I refuse to let anyone treat or speak to me in such a manner. Prior to being released from the ER, he informed me that I was going to be prescribed Gabapentin, a drug with which I am familiar. Gabapentin, also known as Neurontin, is a medication used for neuropathic pain, not postoperative pain. I asked Dr. Sciascia how that would be helpful in my situation, and he literally said, "I don't know." My friend advocated for me by asking for something that actually helped me, and he switched it to a muscle relaxant, which I refuse to take. I am unfamiliar with that medication, and I have lost trust in doctors in Renown's ER. More than one nurse I came into contact with during my several hour stint in the ER informed me that Dr. Sciascia "has a really weird demeanor...[and] has no bedside manner." They said more, but I hope you get where I am coming from. I will be taking this to the medical board of NV, as well as any site on which a review can be posted. Dr. Sciascia caused more harm than good, as I was extremely upset when leaving the ER, and I was still in pain. Given that I have only had one experience with Dr. Sciascia, I cannot comment on his overall competence as an ER Physician, and it would be unethical of me to do so. I can only speak to my personal experience with Dr. Sciascia, which was so horrific that I will never return to that ER for fear of coming into contact with him again. I am writing this review in hopes that others will read this and steer clear of Dr. Sciascia, if at all possible. If you want to be treated like a human being, find another doctor. Further, as a doctor myself (not an MD), I am a strong advocate for those who may not have the knowledge, access, or resources to go up against a physician. This is NOT over. Thank you for reading.

We were so frustrated, however I am glad that Dr. Sciascia (pronounced "Sha-sha") was able to treat him. Although the ER was incredibly busy that day, Dr. Sciascia made an effort to find the root of the problem without pushing him to have unnecessary medications, labs, etc. He suggested some over the counter meds we could purchase, gave us a prescription, and referred him to an allergist. Most importantly, he took the time to answer all of our questions and check on him before we left. It was the most efficient and caring ER visit we had. Plus, he's hilarious and super personable.
