I'm sorry to have to downgrade my review for this practice. My last appointment with the doctor was extremely puzzling. At a previous appointment he insisted that I stop a medication he felt was significantly contributing to my electrolyte imbalance. I asked if I could just stop or needed to taper off. He said to just stop. This bothered me. So I researched it & confirmed both that it could cause electrolyte problems & that you couldn't stop "cold turkey". I contacted my PCP, who gave me the proper instructions & lower dosage to taper off. When I went back for my followup visit I was excited to report that I had stopped taking the offending medicine & had worked really hard to limit my water intake. He would hardly let me talk. He acted like a completely different man, not seeming to want to listen to the fact that I had followed his instructions to stop the medication & to drink less water. I'm not sure he had even checked the bloodwork & other testing that he had ordered. He just waved the results of the urinalysis that had just done in his office at me. He said "There's nothing wrong with you. You just drink too much water,". He indicated that he was dismissing me & had once sent a patient to a psychiatrist for drinking too much water. Needless to say I was shocked at his behavior. I asked if he would send a report to my Cardiologist, who had referred me there for the continuing electrolyte imbalance. That must not have happened. At my next Cardiology appointment they thought the Nephrologist was still in charge of the monitoring. I don't know whether he was just having a bad day. But I do know that I'll never go back to that provider. read more
