I
recently
had
an
appointment
with
the
endocrinologist
at
Century
Medical,
and
unfortunately,
the
experience
was
quite
disappointing.
It
was
evident
that
the
doctor
had
not
taken
the
time
to
review
my
patient
intake
forms
or
chart,
as
they
seemed
unaware
of
my
medical
history.
Their
attitude
throughout
the
appointment
was
dismissive
and
unprofessional.
I
voiced
my
concerns,
which
included
symptoms
like
weight
gain,
dry
skin,
skin
issues
such
as
dermatitis
and
eczema,
joint
pain,
chronic
fatigue,
and
heavy
periods
-
all
of
which
could
be
associated
with
thyroid
problems.
However,
instead
of
addressing
these
concerns,
the
doctor
replied
“You
don’t
look
like
someone
with
hormone
problems.”
To
my
surprise,
the
doctor
suddenly
brought
up
the
topic
of
weight
loss
unprompted,
asking
if
I
wanted
a
prescription
for
weight
loss.
I
did
not
mention
any
problem
with
my
weight
or
desire
to
lose
it,
just
that
I
had
gained
it.
Throughout
the
appointment,
he
continued
to
offer
unsolicited
weight
loss
advice,
even
critiquing
my
alcohol
consumption
and
exercise
habits
(I
drink
around
two
drinks
less
than
once
a
week
and
was
able
to
exercise
daily
before
the
chronic
pain
and
fatigue.
Yes,
I
told
the
doctor
this.)
Furthermore,
the
disorganization
of
the
office
staff
added
to
my
frustration.
They
were
unable
to
confirm
who
had
scheduled
my
appointment
and
couldn't
manage
to
obtain
the
referral
that
my
doctor
had
sent
twice.
Despite
confirming
the
referral
before
my
appointment,
it
seemed
to
have
been
misplaced.
As
a
last
effort,
I
sent
the
referral
to
the
email
address
provided
by
Century
Medical,
only
to
find
out
that
it
was
the
wrong
email.
This
level
of
miscommunication
and
lack
of
attention
to
detail
is
concerning,
especially
when
dealing
with
patients'
health.
In
conclusion,
my
experience
with
the
endocrinologist
at
Century
Medical
was
far
from
satisfactory.
The
lack
of
preparation,
dismissive
attitude,
and
overall
disorganization
in
the
office
have
left
me
feeling
frustrated
and
unheard.
