Patient
This dr really let me down. He took the wind right out of my sail. It's the worst feeling, (that he will never have to know,) when a Dr doesn't believe you. My last visit with him was absolutely shocking. And my young son was right there to watch. as I sat in the lobby. a patient came out of his office, very upset, and told the front desk she would no longer be coming back. I was next, and to my surprise, would be in the same boat. I've been having health issues, for years telling him about all this pain, and made the mistake of trusting this Dr, by letting know about the anxiety it's caused. He did basic blood work, a few other tests, but since nothing obvious popped up, he assumes I was lying. For what benefit? ! Luckily I have other drs, who had sense to do more extensive testing. I recently was told my symptoms are very clearly RMS. Something tests don't always show, and is commonly a clinical diagnosis. My last visit with Jade, he asked me how I was & as soon as I started telling him my legs have been hurting, he interrupted me & said "I don't want to be your dr anymore. Bc I don't want to be a bad Dr." If you don't wanna be, then don't. And you failed at that. It's simple. Don't assume. Don't dismiss a patient for trying to advocate for themselves. And this was done in front of my son. A few months have gone by, I have found a new doctor. And I realize it was a blessing in disguise that this experience even happened. Because now I am in way better hands and I am getting the treatment I need. So my anxiety is pretty much gone and I don't need to be on Ativan anymore. Some thing he had me on for years, and I did not know that was not a drug that you are supposed to take long Term & had to ween off & feel absolutely awful from it. A couple weeks ago on a Sunday evening, the doctors name popped up on my caller ID. It took me over two weeks to get the courage to even try and call him back, out of curiosity. When I did, someone name, Ramona gave me a very rude and condescending tone, and she refused to take a message for him, said he was on vaca & she couldn't take a message and leave it open, whatever that means. So I guess he will get back from his trip and have zero messages.? Ramona insisted there was no possible way he would have called me on a Sunday. So I guess his name showed up on my caller ID magically.. I asked her for her name, and her tone suddenly got super sweet as she paused, and eventually said her name. Then she was very kind, but it was fake at that point, clearly. I will never know what he called for, and will always wonder what it could've possibly have been after the way he treated me. I'm pretty sure he even wrote some thing about me to the neurologist. I was seeing that shares an office building with him. Because my next visit with Dr Lai was very similar, only Dr Lai did not refuse me as his patient. I chose to stop seeing him after he was rude and dismissive Outta nowhere. I do hope that like many other doctors, they both start going to seminars and continued education, and maybe even becomes a little more up-to-date on current illnesses. Dr Lai's Google reviews speak for themselves. I haven't yet read Dr Jade's. But I will be shocked to see many good ones. He laughs at you. Bring a family member and he might be accommodating, but go alone & things will be very different. This man is all ego, to the point that he will leave you sick before admitting he is wrong. If you have a cold. He will help. Anything more, go elsewhere. I'd bet if he's reading this now. He has a huge smile on his face. And will now laugh. But 1 day in the future, I know he will remember me & have to face the truth, that he was wrong & all he had to do was believe me that I was suffering. And just needed his help. That's all I wanted. And I deserved it .., but instead got the worst anxiety I've had in my life -multiplied. #karma #dobetter #continuededucation
