I adore Dr. Amarnath. I started seeing her when I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism four years ago. She is great at returning my calls and is very prompt about getting back to me with test results. She has always been patient with all of my questions and explains things clearly. I also had kind of a unique situation, which she always remembered, and she was very flexible with the timing of appointments and prescriptions. I actually just moved out-of-state, but I'm considering just making the trip back to Ann Arbor for my appointments with her.
THAT BEING SAID - I will say the office staff here is the absolute WORST. They are nonresponsive, they never work (even during office hours, sometimes they don't answer the phone), they will lecture you if you wait too long to make an appointment, and - my personal favorite - they have on MULTIPLE occasions given me incorrect treatment information. First of all, staff should NEVER give treatment information. I'm a lawyer, and the fact that this was done horrified me. On once occasion, during an appointment, Dr. Amarnath told me to go have my blood drawn immediately, and when I went to check out, the staff member told me that I could not go to have my blood drawn because of the timing of my medication that day. I made her go back and check with Dr. Amarnath, and Dr. Amarnath promptly corrected her. The second time, Dr. Amarnath called me to change my medication dosage, and a couple days later, some staff member called me and told me a different dosage. I didn't even both following up with Dr. Amarnath, since I just assumed the staff person was wrong.
In conclusion - AWESOME doctor, terrible staff, but I'm not going to knock a star off of Dr. Amarnath's review because the staff is incompetent. read more
