Stay far away from Michiel Brent Rudder NP at primary care Jackson location. There is not enough space to talk about how incompetent he is and the lack of knowledge to render care to patients. He doesn't follow through with his word. He will tell you to drink a lot of water and stay away from ibuprofen and not inform you why, only to find out a year later he shows you a lab result and tells you I want to order a test 3 months later no test scheduled. See a specialist because after 2 years of complaining about pain and many times begging for help he orders a different test and come to find out his disregard has done severe damage to more than the two areas. It's now 3 specialists will require several surgical interventions and possibly dialysis on top of everything else. Specialist ordered the test Brent said he would do without us telling him his history. Stage 3 CKD. Mr Rudder NEVER informed or voiced renal failure. Oh and the over year pain. Turns out it's PAD with severe stenosis in both legs as well as the aortic going to the legs, Bruit, oh and when we mention that he for the first time used his stethoscope and said hmm yes I hear that. Now we pray stents will help. Severe high blood pressure. I'm talking 180 to 214 systolic. He adds a very low dose med and says we'll monitor. Yet again took a specialist to add 2 more meds just to get it at a almost normal level. Blood pressure had been so high for so long has caused more damage. You can't get in with him if you're very sick for weeks. You can show up because they won't call you back and beg to be seen only to be told Brent is too busy, but good old Brent is sitting on a stool legs up laughing with nurses. What tool only a lab draw to diagnose Brent's too busy for his long time patients. Both of us were paired up with Mr Rudder years ago. For a good while he was good. Last year or so he does the very least to get by. My last labs in March showed elevated numbers, Mr Rudder says will monitor. Then get a letter stating a lab is high contact office if you are or are not taking a specific prescribed medicine. 2 weeks 8 unanswered voice nails I've still yet to inform him med is being taken as prescribed so there must be a problem. After the damage and new diagnosis of every thing we searched and found a new PCP. We're old, don't like change, trusted Brent Rudder NP only to be more sick than the day we walked into his office. He's physician who signs off on his work should be doing a better job and take a closer look at how he practices. So if any doctor or NP tells you drink lots of water and don't take ibuprofen RUN amd get a real doctor so you're not in kidney failure. This is just our experience. I know of another of his patients personally and he has her so messed up she had to seek other care at another doctor. Oh and seek a good health care provider for diabetes monitoring. Never checks for protein in urine a1c elevates he says I'm not going to change anything just monitor. Gain 20 pounds in 3 months doesn't inquire about the sudden weight gain. Was told by cardiologist last year to be diligent with keeping a1c under control and cholesterol low. Guess which 2 labs were high last month? No concern about how I report to him both parents where insulin dependent amd passed from complications of diabetes and heart disease. So to hopefully stay alive and problems under control we had no choice but to seek help elsewhere. I know area lawyers won't take a wrong medical case or I would sue Rudder and the physician that signs off on him. Y'ALL HAVE BEEN WORNED. I pray my husband can get the care to fix the problems Rudder swept under the carpet. Hey, he may be good for you as I said years ago he was great. Now he'll changed the dosage or amount taken and not inform you but when you go for your 3 month check up and ask him about he will say (he does every time) oops that's my bad, let .e correct that. Wbc high, we will monitor. Never monitored. I'm just saying get you a real RN. I've taken a lot of room. I'll stop and land my plane. read more
