I went to Dr. Dean-Scott several times, and just when I think she is going to help me, she sends me out for expensive tests and then does nothing with the results. (The nurse will call and say "everything is fine" and hang up. Knowing that this is not true, I have called back and had to force them to tell me the true results.) Because she had all of the information she needed and still refused to make the correct diagnosis, I am unable to see the specialist I need to see. (I now have to start all over with a new doctor.) It finally got to the point, that even if I requested to ONLY see her so I can address her directly, I was set up with nurse practitioners who clearly have no idea what they are doing. Instead of taking me seriously about things I have been having problems with for years (PCOS related), one nurse tried to put me on anti-depressants, and then proceeded to tell me diet and exercise is my only answer because I am "fat". As if I didn't already know and have issues with this. (I weighed 180 at the time.) Meanwhile, I have been doing all of the right things I can do on my own to help solve my problems for years, to no effect. This is the worst excuse of a group of doctors I have ever seen. The thought of having to get my records from them to go to a new doctor makes me sick on so many levels. Doctors are supposed to help you feel better, not give you anxiety attacks and make you feel like crap.
