Where the pulmonary problem was concerned the provider gave good service. I do not grade him on the kidny part because it was outside his field. At least he found out about it.

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016

National Jewish Health Patient– May, 2016
I had a bad experience with Dr. Make. He doesn't know how to truly do "shared decision making" with a patient. He told me I wouldn't like the tests he was ordering, but I would do them anyways. When I asked, "Aren't we going to discuss them?" his answer was, "Oh, we can discuss them, but then you'll do them!" I found his manner and tone disrespectful. I am seriously considering not doing what he ordered because I wasn't part of the process of decision making.
