| - I only had 2 appointments with Dr. Sadowsky. The first one was wonderful! The front staff was very polite and helpful and the doctor really seemed to listen to me. I scheduled a follow up appointment for a few weeks later and was optimistic that I had found a doctor that would actually get to the bottom of my issues. She had me fill a prescription to have on hand just in case I needed it (for an illness I had never shown symptoms for, it was only $20, so I got it). The second appointment was not just bad but upsetting even. During this appointment, Dr. Sadowsky decided to "diagnose" me with an illness that I had never experienced symptoms for. She asked if I had used the medication and I said that after listening to the pharmacist and them explaining to me when to use it, I never needed it. The doctor got upset with me and began patronizing me. She even said that if I failed to use the medication I would die young and leave my children without a mother! I asked if there were any tests that could show me, even without symptoms, that I actually had this disorder (I wanted hard numbers). She said I could go see a specialist at the hospital and inferred that I would be uncomfortable there. I said I didn't mind going to a hospital and that I would love to have the tests done. She huffed at me and ripped the paper off the request sheet and told me that she would have to send the form over the next day. I said I could wait. She also told me to wait for the hospital to contact me to set up an appointment, only they never did. Dr. Sadowsky never sent the form. I found a new doctor, although farther away from me. The first thing that doctor did was order blood tests, Dr. Sadowsky never even offered to run labs. On top of that, I got a letter from collections 6 weeks later saying that I needed to pay my office visit fee, which I had done the same day as my appointment. My husband called to dispute it, as we had both receipts from the second office visit, which I had to pay for both the first and second appointments (the office messed up and told me I didn't owe for the first appointment even when i told them i should have a copay, they figured out I did need to pay at the next appointment).
