It is frustrating to be a fellow physician and treated as if I know nothing. First I was told this condition was menopause with no thought given to the viral infection that occurred within weeks prior. To blame menopause is to blame a woman for something they cannot control. As a female physician I would never tell my patients this-especially with no data to back it up. Further, I am told that he will not work with the rheumatologist helping with the condition for the past 3 years, but “if you want to drag things out go right ahead, I don’t see the point, “. The point might be that if I lose my vision from a recurrence
I would be unable to practice. Hello, eye doc, ever thought of that?

This doctor was indifferent. His bedside manner was awful. He spoke to me as if I was a child. I would not recommend him to anyone. Bad experience.

This gentleman just didn’t seem to be genuinely interested in my overall retina health and my appointment with him felt rushed. Towards the end of the appointment he started talking about why I “shouldn’t wear contacts in case I get hit in the eye with a baseball at a baseball game” and he totally lost me in that conversation - AND I do not wear a contact in the eye that my Retina had detached in years ago, which was the eye I was concerned about… I was not there to ask about contact lens whatsoever. At that point, I knew that I would not be returning.
