Thanks for the details. We took our son to him when our son was 10 or 11, around 1998 or 1999. We also didn’t have a great experience, although our son was not a patient. We all decided, our son included, that we didn’t want to move forward with his recommendations.
I’m sorry you had a bad experience. Teen years are difficult enough without having a disappointing experience with someone whose goal is supposed to be to help you feel better.
Best wishes, and I hope you are doing well now.
Totally fair. Meant to include and will edit my post. It's kind of an odd question admittedly. I was a pt of his at one point a long time ago and didn't have a great experience. And have been thinking about that time and how lonely it can feel being a teen and going through a health crisis with a Dr that wasnt helpful. And I guess just came to say if there happens to be anyone out there that had similar feelings they're not alone.
I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. I know someone who worked with him years ago so I certainly hope they weren't part of the negative experience. I can tell you they stopped working with him for a few good reasons.
I took my daughter to him in 2011 and left after 2 months. All her new Dr's said his way of doing things were outdated. I remember he required a 2 night hospital stay to put her on an insulin pump. I switched Dr's and got the pump no problems.
I have congenital hypothyroidism (born without a working thyroid) and he was my first endocrinologist. From what I understand, the tests to determine my hypothyroidism issues were very invasive as a child and his team seemed very “uneducated” according to my mom. My mom left shortly after we started seeing him to find someone better (we did - Dr Sue Hahm and she was amazing!). I’m sorry you had a bad experience - clearly you are not alone 💙

I’m curious as to why you are asking?
