| - I am baffled by my visit to Dr. Adolfo's Ft. Apache office yesterday. I can't believe her complete disinterest in my appointment. I can accept waiting 30 minutes past my appointment time because it seems like most medical offices are running behind, however the rest of my experience was unacceptable.
A nurse checked my weight, blood pressure, and pulse. When the doctor finally saw me, she came into the room and sat behind her table with her laptop for the ENTIRE appointment. I have never been to visit a primary care doctor that didn't listen to my heart and lungs, check my nose and throat, etc.
I described my symptoms to her and she diagnosed me with a sinus infection. That seemed reasonable, but I still don't understand why she didn't look at my physical symptoms.
She prescribed an anti-biotic and something to help me when I am feeling dizzy. I took the script to the pharmacy. I got a call later telling me that she forgot to include the dose on the anti-dizziness medication. I received a second call from the pharmacy telling me that my anti-biotic could have a very serious interaction with another medication I take on a regular basis. (I know she knew I was taking this medication because she asked if I was still using it.) The pharmacy attempted to contact the doctor several times today to recommend a different kind of anti-biotic, but she didn't return their call.
On my way home this afternoon, I stopped at the doctor's office to find out what was going on with my script. The girl behind the desk told me the doctor would call them at the end of the day. I expressed my frustration with the doctor as well.
When I returned home, the pharmacy called me to let me know that Dr. Adolfo had called them and CANCELLED the script for the anti-biotic! The doctor told the pharmacist to tell me to take Sudafed. During the appointment, the doctor had SPECIFICALLY told me NOT to take Sudafed because it can cause dizziness.
I have never been treated like this! I will not be returning to her office, and I suggest that you find someone else to treat you medically.
