| - HORRIBLE!!! - **PLEASE READ THE FIRST ONE AT LEAST** 2 incredibly bad things happened to me at this location. I just moved to Madison 2 weeks earlier from Long Island, and needed a new doctor:
1***THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN*** I had a family medicine doctor nonchalantly increase my thyroid medication from 112 to 150mg in 2 weeks back in January 2012(I have been on 112 since the age of 11, so at that point, 10 years). I went from an underactive thyroid to a SEVERELY overactive thyroid. Google side effects of over medicating hypothyroidism, and you'll understand. I woke up every single night in a full blown panic attack, I lost 35lbs in 7 months by over eating, I couldn't keep on the weight, my heart was racing all of the time (I naturally have a low heart rate and blood pressure), I had incredible temper tantrums, I was depressed and cried all the time over nothing. I found a real doctor who said she was outraged by this & couldn't believe how careless this doctor was. It's 3 years later and I still suffer from a fear of having a panic attack in the middle of the night. I am terrified & anxious to go to sleep every single night, I have horrible anxiety ticks that stuck around after dealing with them for 14 months (now they're habits). I am NOW (3 yrs later) just getting my thyroid back to normal and leveled out. THIS EVENT HAS RUINED MY LIFE!!!
2. A nurse accused me of being a "drug addict" because I called to get a 3 month prescription of synthroid (a non addictive thyroid medication), and they only gave me 1 month. Later the head nurse said this rude nurse never printed them out, so it was her fault. Never received an apology for such an outrageous accusation.
I WILL NEVER EVER STEP FOOT INTO THIS CLINIC AGAIN. DEAN COLLEAGUES AT OTHER LOCATIONS WERE SO EMBARRASSED AND OUTRAGED BY THEIR EAST CLINIC COLLEAGUES.
