I am sad that I have to make this post after being a patient of Dr Abraham for 9 years. I enjoyed the empty waiting room and quick visits while my health was good. Sadly, the last 6 months his service has been horrible!
He decided that my labs for my thyroid levels were troubling him, despite no complaints from me. He decided to lower my dose of synthroid twice in the 6 months and when I called to complain I felt terrible, I was told I'm fine (after making 3 phone calls about it). He never looked at my chart and realized I had gained 25 pounds nor listened when I told him I was suffering. When it was time for my quartet appointment, he downright argued with me that my labs indicate that I should be using even less of the synthroid. He, reluctantly, upped my dose, saying he was making all kinds of notes that it was against his better judgement, and, lo and behold, I was feeling better within the week. I knew then I had to find another doctor.
Today I met with Dr Christian Askew of Anmed and he changed my life! I was actually skipping when I left his office, after spending almost 2 hours talking with him! It turns out because I had thyroid cancer, the numbers for my thyroid levels are much different than someone with a thyroid and now are fully in line with where they should be. Also, Dr Abraham put me on a "memory" medicine that was for Alzheimer's and never even told me that's what it's for. Dr Askew adjusted my other medications that weren't seeming to be working anymore and offered a different way of taking them. He is young, smart and in tune with new information. Unlike Dr Abraham, who is total old school and it's his way or the highway, never wanting to admit a mistake. Well, Dr Abraham, you were wrong about my thyroid levels and made me miserable and when I met with you to get my medications, you could care less that I was leaving your practice after 9 years. Oh, and I also found out I don't have to be seen quarterly, as you require. You just do it so you can bill Medicare! Crook! If you haven't figured out who I am yet, it's Gigi, and I had to use a different email because I left you a positive recommendation 7 years ago!
I am so thankful to leave Dr Abraham in the rear view mirror and feel so much more confident with my current care. read more
