Focilmed

Went here for 2 different issues.
1. I’m not a fainter, never have been. If my blood sugar gets too low I just feel dizzy and can’t stand but never actually faint. Well, I had an incident in a grocery store where, even though I had eaten semi-​recently, I almost passed out in an aisle. Had to call a family member to come pick me up.
When I told the Dr. about this and after my blood sugar measured super low, he sent me home with a blood sugar tester and strips, but no mention of why I might have been having this issue. I asked about why it might have happened and he left the room saying he’d be back. They didn’t offer to do any testing or anything.
2. I had had TERRIBLE restless leg syndrome on and off since 2005 (before anyone really knew what it was). In 2007/​2008, I actually had a name for it and went to the doctor for help. I had read that iron deficiency was a cause for some people, so I asked the Dr. to test me for that. He said «no, absolutely not. It’s not a cause.» I told him I had seen a few studies online and anecdotally a lot of people had reported it going away after taking iron (I thought, «What’s the harm in testing?»). I don’t know if it was because he was pissed he hadn’t heard of it and some 20-​year old kid was telling him something different or because he was a narcissistic a-​hole (or both), but he took me back to his «office» with a desk and a ton of books. He pulled a book out of the shelf, looked RLS up, and SLAMMED it on the desk in front of me (I’ll never forget that!). He told me, «Anemia does NOT cause that! Iron has nothing to do with that, see?!».
Um, sorry your medical book from 1973 doesn’t have up-​to-​date information, but you can’t be pissed at me for it! How stupid can you be? Of course recently discovered information isn’t going to be in an old medical book! And again, what’s the freaking harm in testing?! I hadn’t slept in MONTHS!!! I needed HELP!
Well, low and behold a few months later, low iron came out as a commonly recognized cause of RLS. Now of you google «causes of RLS» it’s the first thing that pops up. I got tested (at another place!) and they said I had SEVERE anemia. I took a supplement (Floradix Liquid Iron, btw), and *miraculously* it went away.
I hope he found out about the iron thing and got super pissed. He cared more about being right than he cared about helping me. Noooo thank you.

Worst experience of my life. Got to my apt. 15 minutes early. Waited 30 mins for paperwork and an hour and a half before i was called into a room. All together i was there 3 hours! The best part… the Dr. Was a grade A rude rude rude man!!! Kept interrupting me when i was explaining my symptoms, told the girl to hurry and finish so they could get me out. He asked me a question and i brought it up later and his response, i dont care… he told me to find another dr… in other words he didnt want me as his patient. The worst… he told me i was stressed due to being a mommy and «relationship issues» as well as not having a job right now… the front desk must have told him that since i had to fill out paperwotk.. he has no idea what my personal life is like. This was my first appt!!! Horrible horrible man… i would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. He interrupted me, raised his voice, said he didnt care when i said something and basically made me out to be crazy. He basically wouldn’t help me. I have never met a dr. That was so arrogant in my life. Save yourself the trouble go to someone who is waaaaaay more professional than this sorry excuse for a physician. Then one of the front desk ladies came to talk to me, once i said i needed to talk to someone about the way he spoke to me. She went to check with him first
. don’t know why and then she came and told me that im stressed and its not his fault! What??? What is she talking about? then i had to wait to sign a paper so they could send a sample to the lab, if they were gonna send it to the lab anyway why didnt they have me sign it before? Why did he do the procedure with no intention of sending off the sample? They didnt have me sign the paper until i went back to complain about how he wasnt going to help me. He told me to find another dr. (Gladly), but why did he take a sample and not get the paperwork signed by me to send off until i wemt back? Because he wasnt going to do his job! SHADY and DISHONEST if you ask me. I honestly cannot even wrap my head around the way this man treated and spoke to me. I WILL be filing a complaint with the medical board

By far, THE WORST experience I have ever had with a doctor. He is RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!! He treats you like he’s angry you’re there & it was my FIRST VISIT! His office staff is very sweet. But he is THE WORST! I will NEVER go back, and I wouldn’t recommend him to ANYONE! Save your time and money!!!

This was by far the worst experience I have ever had at a Doctors office. My appt was at 3:00 pm, first of all they didn’t open from lunch till about 3:30. There was about 7 people, including myself, waiting outside the clinic for them to open from lunch. After they finally opened I waited in the lobby for about 45 mins. At the end, I did not end up leaving the clinic till about 6:00. It was a horrible experience, the staff, including the doctor, are rude and unprofessional. The nurses were talking bad about the doctors in front of the patients and cursing at each other in Spanish. I paid $ 175 for their services and I regret every penny of it.
