I did not have a positive experience at this doctor. I had recently gone to an urgent care and they had diagnosed me based on a lab test. I wanted to be seen by a specialist so that I could possibly get more ideas on staying healthy and preventing problems in the future. Also, I wanted to make sure nothing else was going on. This doctor was not very empathetic and he did not really take notes on my symptoms. Most doctors I have seen lately type everything you say into their system. He barely wrote anything. He also stated very early in our conversation that he thought my symptoms were due to stress and were not due to any other issue. I told him about the urgent care tests and he still seemed very unconvinced.
Now it is two weeks later and the test they ran showed the same results as the urgent care. I am thoroughly disappointed that a doctor would dismiss my symptoms as stress or in my head. This is a very dangerous practice since some people may have more serious issues that are being dismissed only to become worse without treatmebt. I had a real issue that needed medication and he was ready to ignore my symptoms. I will not be returning to this doctor and I will be finding another doctor that will listen and be empathetic. read more
