I could hear her talking outside the room to the resident she was training and she made judgement on the situation without fully reviewing my record or even seeing me. I heard her call things such as certain testing silly then had the nerve to come in and offer those test instead of just saying if I needed them or not. How was I going to be ok saying yes do a test when she just told her resident outside the door it was silly!! Then she lied and said they needed to get a cardiac mri to review. It was already loaded in the chart to where even I can see the images not just result. I drove 4 hours round trip for this appointment just to be dismissed before she ever even saw me or adequately reviewed my record. I was highly upset over this appointment and will still have to find another provider. I absolutely will not see her again nor recommend. Honestly it needs to be addressed.
