Samineh Khosrowshahi, MD

Another amazing doctor from the Carle Clinic family without a review! I swear I gasped!
I saw Dr. Khosrowshahi when I was in desperate, desperate need. I was having a terrible, not pain, exactly. more like what people describe as «phantom limb» feeling associated with a neuropathy I developed due to a complication in surgery. If you’ve never had nerve pain (and there are SEVERAL ways it can manifest), you just don’t even know.
I’m a writer, so my hands are my livelihood. At the time, I was taking a drug and most doctors just didn’t feel comfortable prescribing it at the dosage I needed (I had another surgery that made it difficult for me to absorb medicines like a normal person, so…). But Dr Khosrowshahi, she worked with me. She really listened. When many just turned their backs, she really cared. She just finally said that I had to find a dosage that worked for me. One extra pill in a 24 hour period and… everything was better again. Not perfect, of course, but good enough that I was able to use my hand again.
This was… god, has to be seven, eight years, now, and I’m still so thankful for her help. She has no idea what she gave to me during that period. I just wish, once more, that I could find someone as sympathetic and caring as she.
