Patient
I have never written a review before, but this visit was so awful that I feel I must warn others. I have never met a doctor as disrespectful and unprofessional as Dr. Evans. I was scared, in pain, and looking for answers. First, Dr. Evans was entirely dismissive of my situation due to my age and medical history. After desperately explaining that I was just looking for answers, he repeatedly said that it wasn't a heart attack so I don't need to be there. If fact, he flat out asked, "Did your dad die? Was it a heart attack?" Without waiting for a response. I started crying and getting upset because of the onslaught of questions. He only got less understanding and less patient with me. Second, I never said I had a heart attack. I said that I was experiencing symptoms similar to a heart attack. He continually asked, "How do you know it was like a heart attack? You've never had one." For context, over the last two months I've had two events in which I experienced a great deal of chest pain followed by numbness in my left arm. I explained this, of course. I tried to explain that the whole reason I came was to find answers to why I'm still in pain despite NOT having a heart attack. This leads to my next point. After only listening to my heart, he asked why I, as a younger person, was afraid of my pain being a heart attack. He asked what I was doing here and what I wanted him to do about it. I was confused. I explained that I just wanted to find an answer and look at whatever the next step in recovery looks like. He ignored me and insisted that I tell him what I wanted him to do about it. I am not the medical "professional" in this situation. I just wanted answers. I, extremely upset, stood up and told him I was leaving. I said, "I can't do this. I'm going somewhere where I will be listened to." Dr. Evans response was, "Yeah, go somewhere they will listen," before storming out of the room. To see such childish behavior from a doctor was quite jarring. If this has not been enough of a testimony to do something about your staff, then I am appalled to think of what happened to your patients behind closed doors. The oath you took said to do no harm, yet I come from your clinic more hurt and confused than ever. Do better.
