Due to a recent change in my insurance, I am in the process of transitioning to a new medical team. This provider was recommended to me, but unfortunately, my experience during the appointment was disappointing and concerning. The provider appeared more focused on her own preconceived agenda than on actively listening to me. My questions were either dismissed or left unanswered, and she did not seem engaged or curious about my medical history or concerns. She repeatedly pushed a medication that I clearly stated I was not interested in trying, solely because she did not approve of the medication I have been using successfully. Despite my explanation that I have a history of adverse reactions to medications and avoid switching when something is working, she refused to prescribe the medication I requested and need. Additionally, she ordered routine lab work that I had recently completed with a previous provider. I informed her of this and expected her to ask where those labs were done or how to obtain the results. Instead, she insisted on repeating the tests for her own review without attempting to coordinate with my previous provider. She also referred me to two specialists based on her own assessment. While I did schedule these appointments, I did so out of personal interest in their perspective on my complex health history, not necessarily because I agreed with her assessment. She attempted to refer me to other specialists, which I declined because it felt more like she was embracing a narrative that does not exist while also trying to redirect me to other providers instead of her being able to manage my care. One positive note: she did identify a medication I was taking at a subtherapeutic dosage and followed through by adjusting the prescription appropriately. Another serious concern was her discomfort with my service dog. She acknowledged being afraid of dogs and asked me to position my dog as far from her as possible. While my service dog remained appropriately behaved and attempted to perform her trained tasks, the provider's fear created a tense atmosphere and likely impacted her ability to provide care. It would have been more appropriate for her to disclose that her fear might interfere with the visit, so accommodations or a different provider could be arranged. The office itself was clean and well-maintained. The front office staff were friendly and helpful, though they could benefit from training on how to appropriately interact with patients accompanied by service animals-specifically, to avoid engaging with the dog and direct their communication solely to the patient. In summary, I left the appointment without the medication I need, feeling unheard and uncomfortable. I am concerned about this provider's approach to patient care, communication, and accommodation of disabilities, and I hope this feedback will be taken seriously for future improvements.
