My primary doctor was wonderful. The Resident who saw me first, however, was dismissive of my concerns, used euphemistic language to trivialize test results, and did not seem interested in really listening to me. I would prefer to not see her again.

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.
