He was very kind in person, but in his notes very dismissive of my other severe, non-hematological conditions. I felt gaslighted and misunderstood.

2 out of 5 stars

I was hesitant to answer this survey when It first popped up because I felt like the doctor T from the very beginning he stated that this issue wasn't or shouldn't be something of his concern. He mentioned a few times it was the other 2 doctors that should be trying to ..diagnos??? My issues. I was let down and felt uneasy while there. He ordered labs even though. After I left I thought if he didn't think this was his..department? He shouldn't have taken any lab work. I am/was looking for answers to find "why" or "reason" I was referred to this specialist The visit wasn't productive I thought.

I can't think of his name Dr. T, but he was taking over for Dr. Patel who is on maternity leave. I felt that the minute he walked in the room, he had made up his mind on what the plan was and I was so confused when I left that I didn't do anything with that plan and won't until Dr. Patel comes back and I can talk with her about it. What Dr. T said compared to what his nurse said before she went to get him were two completely different things. I felt with him, I didn't really have a decision. I am still confused.

I feel extremely pesky, I don't mean to be, but I know I am not an easy patient. Dr. Tantravahi is VERY patient with me. I certainly trust his expertise and appreciate his willingness to explain hematological health with me. I also appreciate him listening to my concern about a possible genetic blood issue, Thalassemia, even though he may not directly agree with my personal perspective, seeing as he is a very knowledgable Hematologist and certainly would know better than I do, he still listened. Dr. Tantravahi is willing to accept we are all human, even himself, and this lends to his compassion and willingness to listen and help. I hope he knows I think very highly of him, I understand that I am a very inquisitive person which can be pesky or annoying, but he always takes the time to talk about the medical science behind my blood panels. I appreciate his knowledge and compassion and patience.

Dr. Tantravashi has been fantastic. He called me Monday evening and discussed my diagnosis with me. They started me on a treatment plan sooner than expected. Dr. Patel has been very helpful also. They understand the urgency of situation and are steps ahead of my problem. I would certainly recommend Doctors Tantravashi and Patel to anybody-both very knowledgeable, professional, and personable.
