I have only been to this office once and do not plan on going back!!! The physician Suzanne Strickland was extremely rude and inconsiderate. I would not recommend this office to anyone. My husband and I are fairly new to the area and have not set up a PCP. My husband got set up through VA for his care, but it takes months to get into VA medical. We decided to go see Suzanne this weekend to get some annual blood work done.
We very much believe in keeping up on everyday wellness and tracking changes in our bodies. When I told Suzanne this she very rudely started interrogating me on what I was looking for and how uncommon it was to make this sort of request. Shocked that she was speaking to me this way, I didn't have much to say. I try to get bloodwork done annually. There are some family conditions I like to keep tabs on and in addition it is a great way to check for anemia, diabetes, underlying infections, thyroid, cholesterol and MANY other conditions...etc. How she didn't know this baffled me. She couldn't fathom and even went as far as to discourage my request. Beyond that, the way she dealt with the issue was EXTREMELY unprofessional. While she is entitled to her medical opinion she could have tried to explain to me where she is coming from, instead of being rude and trying to make me feel stupid. I was not impressed with her professionalism at all and definitely wouldn't trust her with a matter that really was "URGENT".
I left so upset that I even gave them money. I should not have been charged for that appointment and the treatment that I endured.
