I was so disappointed in this doctor. He didn’t seem to care about anything I had to tell him about my health since he ever endoscopy. It’s been over two months and I’m still not able to eat solid foods. I can drink liquid liquids but a little amount at a time if I drink too much it comes back up. I have lost 15 pounds when I told him all of this he didn’t even bad and I like he didn’t even care. He said well. The test show that everything is fine. Everything is not fine if I’m not able to eat solid foods I’ve had a hiatal hernia since 2014 and he told me I didn’t have one because the test for the mobility didn’t show it. I asked him if there was something else we could do and he said there’s nothing more I can do for you. This is the worst experience and the worst doctor I’ve ever encountered. I do have Providence doctors so I will be going to my primary care and finding a doctor that will actually take care of my health.
