Dr. Brendler came up with a different diagnosis than the prior four "specialists" and gave me samples of a different kind of medicine. Eureka! The new remedy is not working perfectly (in a 74 year old body only so much can be expected!), but I feel MUCH better than I have since I was a kid! Finally, a correct diagnosis! Dr. Brendler has common sense about tests, listens well, and came up with a completely different and correct diagnosis. Don't give up without consulting her.

Since my previous review, we are still trying to figure out the best thing to deal with the long…read moreterm problem that I have-sadly, my doctor had to leave out of state, but the new doctor and I will be trying to figure out a long term solution. The solution did knock out the problem...but hot flashes are a no-go! So back to the drawing board. I have no bad feelings toward them at all. We have ruled out the bladder, female insides (ultrasound), other hormone issues (either normal or negative), so it's not something that can be easily fixed. I suspect that there's some sort of internal miscommunication between brain and body that can't easily be fixed, based on how my symptoms act when my symptoms were acting. Sometimes, there is no cure.

I became a patient of Dr Gene Thompson. First visit, he was patient and listened well. since I…read morehad lost considerable amount of weight and was experiencing dizziness, I questioned my blood pressure medicine. Did I still need it? He said we can do a lessor strength. He wanted me on a statin, which was expected. I told him I tried a statin before and experience muscle pain. Again he mentioned a lower dose. I agreed to trying a lower dose. I left feeling satisfied that my concerns were addressed. By the time I got home the pharmacy had my prescriptions ready. After standing in line for 20 mins it was my turn. Two prescriptions, no cost. All positive energy hmming along. I get home and open the pharmacy bag and retrieve my two prescriptions. They were both the exact same prescriptions, same strength I had previously! i send him a message expressing my disappointment. I had also brought with me to the appointment two months of daily bp readings that he never looked at. In his reply, he defended the prescriptions he wrote and acted like his opinion shouldn't be challenged. Shortly after that I found a new doctor. A young female who listened to me.

Doctor Andrew Gilchrist has been my primary care provider for about a year now, and I have never…read morebeen more satisfied. Dr. Gilchrist has a profoundly sane approach to patient care including empathy, humor and access. I am able to reach my doctor any time, and receive a response almost immediately. He is available via text always and is also quite easy to schedule with. I have never (never!) had to wait to see him. Beyond being very knowledgeable, easy to talk with and amazingly kind, Dr. Gilchrist also provides a level of care that is incredible. He has dropped off prescriptions for me, been proactive with insurance issues and worked diligently to find me other providers, such as physical therapy, who are equally good. Concierge care may require new thinking at first. Paying a subscription rate on top of insurance can seem prohibitive, but when given the level of care and contact, it's actually quite a bargain. Dr. Gilchrist has seen me several times a month, as well as offered referrals, text consults and encouragement, all within my monthly cost. No copay, no additional fees, and of course all services that he refers too work with insurance as usual. It's an easy win- and genuinely adds to my health and well being to be part of his concierge practice. I would encourage anyone to get in and see Dr. Gilchrist! He's the absolute best!

For 1st time on 1/7/26; He refused to have me as a patient because I have too many medical problems. ITo mention a few: AFIB, Bradycardia, meningioma, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis throughout, Spondylitis, Degenerative Disc Disease, & a whole lot of pain to go with it all! If that wasn't enough, I was refused a Cologuard test kit (I had a pre-cancerous polyp removed 18 months ago, & 3 months later, I started experiencing intermittent bleeding in rear area, also intermittent bleeding in stomach). After being offered a stool sample DNA test, Dr. Everts denied it to me, refused me my heart/COPD meds, & refused any/all referrals, whether it be for Internal Medicine specialist and/or pain management. Instead of referring me to specialists, he told me to BEG all practitioners to get an Internist. It was a waste of waiting 3 months to see Dr. Everts. I'm 67, extremely disabled, housebound most the time. I made several complaints, one to Providence Insurance, who want me to file a formal grievance within the 60 days period, which I will. This should never have happened. I sent an email to office management, who called a few days later to ask what she could do to fix the issue. She explained that it wasn't a "good fit" with Dr. Everts. She wanted to help me. Much appreciated, though. In the interim she told me Dr. Everts said he'd be my PCP, but really, it's too late. Damage done. I, after 2 days solid all day on the phone/online, & got a Primary Care/Internal Medicine Dr. I see early February. Again, this should have never happened.

A doctor here stopped refilling a (*non* pain med) medication that was helping me get through my…read moreday, with no heads up that the refills were going to end. I am brand new to being able to access medical care so I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the processes, and that's on me! But befire stopping a heart medication, I admit it did not occur to me the Dr would just cease refilling it with no warning. I requested a refill through my pharmacy's automated service 3x, figuring something was going wrong with the request process there- after a month or so I finally called to see if the requests were processing, and they said "oh, yes! They're going through, your Dr is just denying them" - So that is how I found out. I came in very excited to finally have insurance and start to be seen by a doctor. I left each time feeling embarrassed, generally unheard and just awful. Each visit besides the one that I brought a friend with me to- had lots of eye rolling and scoffing at what I had been doing to manage histamine flares, and deep exhaustion at home (which had been incredibly effective, I was so grateful to find relief!), after I had asked for help managing those symptoms in the first visit, but the doctor had said "go on Amazon and try otc medicine until you find one that works!" My symptoms were chalked up to allergies, aging. Later testing and several visits later presenting the same info - determined I had a chronic illness. I cried during the session where my symptoms were attributed to allergies & getting old- because I had taken the day off, and was so excited to get help, and ended up feeling very rushed, and dismissed like I was inconveniencing them. The Dr looked at me very awkwardly and asked if I was going to therapy. I said "sorry, you probably don't get a lot of people crying in here" They said "....no, not really. "They also let me know that a dr from a previous er visit wrote something unkind in my chart. I asked a couple times for an allergy panel- I was told by my pcp and the allergist there "they're very expensive, and even if you do it- what are you going to do with the results?" I didn't even know what to say to that. One session another person came in with a iPad on a podium and took notes- this person was not introduced, and no one mentioned what they were doing. The following visit I was asked if a student could listen in, and I said no. They said would you consider it, bc they are wanting to learn about my condition- I declined. It's understandable to not know immediately what is going on with a new patient! I don't expect that at all. I go into doctors doing my best to present what is going on and am absolutely there for guidance. I don't go into places asking for help, and give attitude, or think I know more than medical professionals I know by this review I may sound like I have wild expectations, or maybe I have a bad attitude But I promise I do my best to be chill and respectful and helpful. But the treatment/weird adversarial attitude from the doctor, the no heads up about ceasing to refill heart medication became too much. I'm so grateful to have found another PCP. They helped me immediately, explained medications and their thought processes, ask in depth questions about lifestyle and already are ordering heart monitoring tests to evaluate my condition, and were surprised my former PCP had not taken these steps before diagnosing me and putting me on a medication. It could have just been an awful fit, and they just didn't like the cut of my jib. I'm truly hoping this is rare and everyone else has an easy time.
