| - I've been a patient of Dr. Devendra Wadwekar's for a year now and have dealt with some pretty aggravating stuff. I'm telling you guys, do NOT come to see this guy! If you want to feel like you're not worth this guy's time even though your insurance is paying a pretty penny to have him treat you, perhaps you should pay him a visit. He'll have you in and out of there in five minutes --- no joke.
When you first get to your appointment, they'll weigh you and check your blood pressure but it's all for looks. They write it down on a Post-It note but nothing ever gets recorded on the computer or anything because Wadwekar will ask if you've gained/lost weight when he clearly should have your charts at hand. Thanks for the professionalism. It's cute how they like to add steps to make it feel like they care about you. After that, they'll take you into a sparsely-decorated room where you sit on plastic chairs and stare at the bare walls while listening to the maddening clock ticking away and hearing other people's appointments because although their office is new, the walls are incredibly thin and there's really no privacy. If you have questions, he'll give you B.S. answers and have his hand on the door handle the whole time to try to rush you out. I don't think he even knows my face after a year of seeing him.
Anyways, certain problems have risen in the last few appointments I've had with Wadwekar. At my last appointment, July 25th, he had told me that my thyroid hormone was getting too low and to just stop taking Methimazole pills entirely for a month. Now I'm no medical expert by any means but I'm pretty sure you shouldn't just stop taking medication completely. He told me to go a month without medication and to get blood work done in mid-August where he "expects the Graves Disease to flair up and then we'll take two pills a week." August 21st came around and I got my blood work done. In that span of time, I did a lot of serious thinking about how he's treated me, the five-minute appointments, and the complete lack of professionalism on his part. I started looking around for a new endocrinologist. A day after I got blood drawn, I asked them to send my medical records to another doctor [we'll call her "Dr. A"] and this is when things get real sketchy.
Although I had asked them to fax my medical records to another place, I actually ran across one of my Yelper buddy's review on another endocrinologist [we'll call this doctor "Dr. B"]. I was sold and I'm ecstatic! I wanted them to stop with the faxing to Dr. A and to actually just give me my records so I can see Dr. B. It's been 2.5 weeks since my lab work and I had expected Wadwekar to give me my results since I'm still technically his patient. Not a single call. I didn't even know if they ever faxed Dr. A my records. So today I called Dr. A just to see if they ever got anything. Of course they didn't. I called Wadwekar's office to let them know that I was waiting for lab results which they said they never got even though I supplied a date of August 21st and that I will be down to see them to grab my records.
I've never caught someone lying so much... and I work at a restaurant. People lie to me all the time to get free items! They lied and said they faxed Dr. A today. It's not even a real concern for me since I want to see Dr. B but their lies weren't warranted. Pushing things further, I asked about my lab results and they told me my results from July. I knew about my results already from my last appointment. I had asked specifically about my August results which they claimed on the phone that they'll get faxed right away since they "never received it." Upon face-to-face, they shoved my results at me [like I, a typical citizen with no medical knowledge, would know what this even means] and after a quick scan, I saw that they received my results on the 25th of August. I thought they never got my results? Way to lie and not tell me my results, you salty salty people. I can tell they were ticked about me not wanting to be a patient. I asked what my results meant and after the assistant stormed off, she said, "The doctor said they're okay and from now on go ask your new doctor." Wow.
YOU guys told me to stop the pills almost two months ago. YOU guys were suppose to tell me my results. It's been two months and my symptoms are coming back. YOU guys are suppose to be my doctor until my new doctor starts his care. MY insurance is paying YOU to treat me so stop your bull shit. Their lack of sympathy and professionalism for a patient that's been under their care for a year is astounding. I'm glad I'm leaving. Don't see this guy. He's a joke and you're clearly not worth his time but your money for his five minutes is perfectly fine.
I like how even at the end of the argument-festival, Wadwekar never once came out to speak to me in my face and had his two assistants deal with me. Go you.
