Thank you. I don't want to cause problems for the Dr, but I keep giving him chances and he doesn't come through. I would tell someone else to contact the Office of Patient Experience, but I don't know for myself. I keep thinking I probably made it worse when I spoke up to him about it. My initial disillusionment with him was when I contacted him thru the portal about a Rx that he had increased which affected my neurological body movement. I had been referred to him for this condition and seen him for a year and a half and his response was, "what body movement would that be?"! Then, he referred to it as "dizziness", which I explained to him for the umpteenth time that it is not dizziness that I feel, and referred to a Dx of BPPV, which he had never mentioned before to me, and which I know is not the Dx for this condition. I have had this before, a couple of times, and I know those symptoms. The final thing was a test result for a test he had ordered through Mayo, that came back as High. I checked on previous results that were that same result and higher, that Mayo Lab did not indicate as High. I contacted him and asked him if the reference range had changed for this test? He replied to me to contact the Rheumatologist he had referred me to at a previous time. I presented the same facts to the Rheumatologist, and he told me I would need to contact the Dr who ordered the test! I was so frustrated and angry that I made my voice heard to the Dr and then canceled all my upcoming appts with Mayo, vowing never to return, knowing now that was an overreaction. I have posted on Connect that I think so many problems with Drs today is that they are overburdoned with the number of patients, so how do I then "report him" if this is the case? I don't know.......
