Patient
I had vomiting due to food poisoning that vomiting cause my heart rate to increase I called the nurse on call and Dr caceres called me back right away I told him what I was experiencing and he told me to go into the office so I did. I got there at 8:10 didn't leave until 10:30. I don't understand why have me go in knowing you're super booked and knowing my situation. I had vomiting and body aches which he knew! I was passing out waiting for an answer and to be seen. I was so weak and could barely walk and he got upset because my husband complained about the wait. He also started to tell me things that I'm waisting his time and mine if I don't take the medicine which he knew of prior to this visit thatI don't take! I had little to no energy to try to defend myself and tell him that his other practitioners said it was okay if I didn't have to take the medicine if I didn't need it ( heart palpitation medicine). I wasn't going to try and defend myself and waist the little energy I had. All he did was give me anti vomiting needs and send me on my way. Here I am 3 hours in the Emergency room hooked to iv fluids because the medication I took (the one he told me stuff about for not taking) didn't help me nor was it going to because I was very dehydrated! Thanks doctor but I won't be returning here again. Edit to add 4/5/22: wrong the doctor did not tell me I would have to wait until after all his appointments were seen. He kept me waiting for two hours! Why have me come in to the office in the first place? Knowing my situation! Why not send me to the emergency room? He knew my symptoms, instead he chose to keep me waiting! Had I known I was going to wait for 2 hours and nearly pass out due to dehydration, I would have gone straight to the e.r at 3 in the morning when my symptoms started. He failed to make an educated call, and instead sent me home with medication that would have never helped because there was an underlying problem that needed to be seen stat! I was experiencing tachycardia and let me tell you I was seen so fast in the E.R because that's how urgent my problem was! Do me a favor and remove me from your appointments I will not be returning.
