Hospitalists - Murray, UT

"I had seen this doctor once before. She seemed nice. I was seeing her concerning my blood pressure and mental health. I was on a medication for my blood pressure that was not properly managing my blood pressure. I had been on a different medication in prior years that worked better. I requested to be put back on this medication, seeing as I was no longer pregnant. She refused to change my medication because I wasn't on a birth control. I know my body and birth control causes a range of other issues to me, so I choose not to use it. Instead practicing other methods of prevention. I explained this to her, and explained every child I had, was planned. I know my cycle, I know my health. She didn't allow me to make the decision for my own health. She refused to even place me on a different medication or change the dosage of the medication I was currently on, knowing my blood pressure wasn't being properly managed on this, unless I do what she wanted. Which was to get on birth control. I proceeded to try and talk about my mental health, and my ADHD, which is prior diagnosed. I wanted to know what medicine options were available to me, to help with my ADHD and chronic anxiety. This woman spoke over me, interrupted me. Refused to let me finish a sentence. She yelled at me "you can not be on stimulants!" Even though I wasn't even wanting to be put on a stimulant. She insisted that there was nothing I could take and I just needed to loose weight instead of getting on a different blood pressure medication, knowing full well the risks that present with high blood pressure not being treated properly. She left the office without a word more or looking at me. As I sat frustrated and crying, because she wasn't listening to me at all or helping me. The assistant came in after this and was consoling me. Apologizing saying this doctor doesn't have good bed side manner. Some time after this I ended up having a massive anxiety attack, my blood pressure elevated and I was rushed to the hospital. All of which could have been avoided had this apparently "experienced" doctor helped me. There i spoke to a doctor who actually listened to me. Fixed my medication, and was able to find a medication I could take to help with my ADHD and anxiety that was not a stimulant. I wouldn't recommend this doctor. In my opinion Her mannerisms are not one of someone who actually wants to help her patients. She wants to collect a check. "
