Always professional and kind.
This provider didn’t understand what achalasia is or how it works. He dismissed my concerns about quality of life as I also have recently struggled with Sibo likely rebounding. I am in pain and have asked for a different provider and or a referral for a second opinion in Portland at Oregon Clinic or OHSU. I had a panic attack after my first appointment with him. It was a very gas lighting experience.
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.
He is an amazing doctor! I trust him implicitly.
Very personable. Knowledgeable
Dr. Em always explains procedures and exam results very well. The team members are professional and personable a good combination.
He did the job but only spoke about 2 sentences to me.
Thank you!
Good initial visit. Came up with a plan.
Dr. Em and all of the staff do a great job: professional, friendly, kind.
