Today I had my 3rd visit with Dr Yousef and this is my last time dealing with her. I'm early in my pregnancy and after some lab results I found out I was low in progesterone which is essential in early pregnancy, especially for women who have had recurring miscarriages (such as myself.) I called my OB who is currently out of town and cannot see me until April and they were concerned about my progesterone numbers and referred me to my PCP (Dr. Yousef) in the meantime to show her my lab results and request progesterone supplements as soon as possible. I was able to get in with Yousef this morning with my results in hand. As soon as she walked in she said "what is the problem?" No good morning, how can I help you today, just very short and cold. I explained to her why I was there and told her I was told specifically to see my PCP since I would not be able to see my OB for this asap due to him being on vacation. She totally dismissed my lab results, dismissed me, said she couldn't help me with anything because she was not an obgyn and tried leaving the room. I let her know that I was totally unsatisfied with her tone and lack of empathy while speaking with me. Every time I've met this woman she is harsh and dismissive and very uncaring as a medical professional. I had no idea I'd have such a hard time and conflict with Dr.Yousef for requesting a hormone that could potentially safe my very fragile and early pregnancy. After some going back and fourth I told her that if she is refusing to treat me or give me an RX for progesterone per my OB and lab results that I needed her reasoning in writing before I left her office so I could take that with me in case anything happened. She refused once again and I told her I wouldn't be leaving the office until I had her refusal in writing for my documentation. She walked out of the room. 10 minutes later the office manager comes in asking what is going on, I explain the entire situation to her which she understands. I let her know it's awful the way Dr Yousef is talking and treating me, she even told me to go to planned parenthood??? I am covered by private insurance they would never see me at planned parenthood that is for people who are uninsured or on Medi-Cal from what I understand? I told the manager I'm unhappy Dr will not prescribe progesterone for me but if that's her choice I need a signed document with her reasoning so I can take it to a new PCP or OB who can help me with this immediately. The manager said Dr. Yousef would not be doing this and I told her I cannot leave this appointment without out it. She said she will see what she can do. So I waited another 20 minutes and FINALLY the note was written and brought to me so I could leave and continue my search for a new doctor or OB who would help me. I will never return to Dr. Yousef after the terrible treatment I received today and on previous visits. She is the most uncaring MD who seems to have little to no knowledge for most medical issues you try and discuss with her. Each visit is such a disappointing waste of time. Id give her zero stars if I could I'll be reporting this doctor and this dignity health location to upper management. read more
