    Dr Nakamoto was nice enough, but seemed unconcerned with my new diagnosis of Stage 3 Kidney…read moreDisease. She indicated that it was a bit premature for my primary care doctor to get a nephrology consult because she thought she should have waited 6 months to see if my lab work changed ( my GFR dropped by 12 from the end of September to the beginning of December). According to my primary care doctor, and all the data I read through, 3 months was the standard I repeatedly read about for making a definitive diagnosis of Stage 3 Kidney Disease. She kind of rolled her eyes when she said that my GFR was barely below normal back when my PCP initially diagnosed me with kidney disease. I was very afraid when my labs came back worse in December, and my PCP wrote for an emergent consult to a nephrologist up here where I live. I should have gone to that one. However, I wanted to stay with a provider who would be in the same healthcare system, so I requested to get a consult at the Polyclinic instead. Dr Nakamoto very definitely minimized my condition and seemed completely unconcerned. Would she have preferred that I wait until I needed dialysis to see her? Also, after she repeatedly reassured me that my kidneys were fine, I asked her to prescribe me a diuretic for my leg swelling---and she told me NO---because It would be dangerous to my kidneys since I have kidney disease!!!! What??!!! I definitely would NOT recommend her.
