| - Please, if you really need a good doctor and have sincere medical concerns, do not even waste your time with this doctor!
I visited her for my first appointment about a week ago for a long list of health problems I have been having to live with and need help with getting treatment since the I got pregnant with my son a year and a half ago but couldn't be helped in pregnancy due to restrictions of exercise and drugs.
I present her with a long list, which she just sat down and repeated uhuh, ok, uhuh
My biggest problems are the day to day pain I live in due to many spinal problems, injuries, knee issues and injuries (I have really bad joints) and also my hypothyroidism.
She didn't even do anything for me as requested for my pain which was to go to physical therapy and pain management after getting updated mri's and xrays, and only ordered a partial lab for my thyroid even though I've had it for 7 years (..apparently she wanted a baseline reading to see if I even have it, which I've had for years diagnosed by specialists in the endocrinology field)
All other things I brought up to her, I could've cared less about, if she had actually paid attention to immediate problems! She also ordered unnecessary tests to be done like a chest xray (no problems there and nothing explained to me of why it was ordered)
I called the office right after my appointment and spoke to her nurse about what I needed to get done. Her response "no problem, she will get in touch with you tomorrow" tomorrow came, and nothing. So today is now Monday and I call in to follow up with my request and apparently the doctor wants a follow up scheduled to handle these issues in 3 WEEKS WHEN SHE GETS BACK FROM VACATION!" VACATION??? I have immediate health concerns and she suddenly leaves for 3 weeks without giving patients any notice? So the gentlemen in the office offered to schedule me in with another doctor until then. No, sir why under these horrible circumstances would I stay with your practice, this has been a horrible experience with a horrible doctor!
His response "your right, I completely understand. Bye."
Staff rude, doctor not attentive to medical needs and concers, no bedside manner, no courtesy for patients, schedules unnecessary tests, outdated medical equipment, dirty office and patient rooms etc.
POINT IS: DON'T EVER TRUST THIS DOCTOR, OR PRACTICE
they don't even deserve one star...going back to my regular, 100% trustworthy doctor...Dr. Rotella in Scottsdale!
