Medical Health Centers: New Smyrna Beach - New Smyrna Beach, Florida

S Q. (.

Being Disabled from a failed TLH Replacement in Minnesota. I've been treated well at NSB Medical Health Center. The loss of Steven Watry (RIP) was hard on all. Moving forward the Updated Staff and new primary Dr K is fantastic and discovered extremely high markers for RA. Out of the 120 blood tests (1) was 10× average of value of 6.

This new diagnosis and treatment validates a missing puzzle piece to a long 8 year battle against the unknown. Knowing and the right direction helps 100%. Just needed the right flashlight!

I'm moving forward every day with Doctor K's orders and a new outlook on life .. The sun is shining in today and know it will tomorrow!

The worst dr. , I have ever experienced. I am 64 yrs old, and never was spoken I r treated so disrespectful. I was assigned to him by my insurance, my main complaint, and had documents to show why I was suffering from pain. He dismissed me immediately, because. Of discrepancy with .my date of birth. His nurse checked my vitals, realized my blood pressure was very high, and all some heart rate was very high, 128. He never addressed that. It was horrible experience.

UPDATE: In response to his response, he proved my point more. I was not asking for psychiatric care. I was addressing why i had rapid speech. He doesnt care. He also tried pushing the medicine for the high cholesterol and never suggested dietary changes when i told him i wasnt comfortable with meds. He got harsh and rude during most of my visit. As a medical provider, he should have a better demeanor when interacting with patients he knows have things that cause rapid speech and too many details.

ORIGINAL REVIEW
I used to recommend this practice. I do not anymore. I suggest not going unless you are a stone and don't care how your doctor treats you.

Today, I had a different experience than when I had him before I left the area. The whole ambiance of the practice has changed since I was there last between January and March, when CJ was treating me. I didn't feel comfortable even before I saw the doctor today. I got negative energy feelings from pretty much everyone. The happy, high spirit vibe is gone from the staff.

I told him that his bedside manner changed since I used to see him. And at the end, he said he wanted to see me in 3 months and I told him that wouldn't happen because I'm switching doctors. Plus just a few minutes before, he told me to find someone else. I want a doctor who will listen to me and care about what's going on, not one who will try to make me feel worse and push meds on me and be disrespectful about my stance on them.

At any rate, when I started going again, I had a really good PA, CJ Peterson, who actually listened and cared and didn't just look at a piece of paper and have an attitude when I tried to explain stuff. She made me feel like an individual and I was getting individual care. She really tried to understand and treat the problems and not just make me a number or get profit from prescribing me stuff.

This time, Dr. Watry saw me and I felt like he really just wants to get people in and out. Because he couldn't deal with my ADHD symptoms, he got nasty with me several times. He knows nothing about my history for the past 8 years and was just reading notes. Then he threatened me with baker act because I told him I didn't want to take high cholesterol meds. Because my words were "I just exist until I don't have to anymore". That's not suicidal. That's patient. We all cease to exist some day. He added to my feelings of not wanting to be on the planet anymore today. I wound up not even addressing another serious issue I'm having because it was pointless to try to with how he was talking to me. A doctor should not get angry with a patient suffering from mental illness who is coming to them for help.

He got offended when I said I pretty much don't trust doctors. Because I don't. And his attitude and demeanor today reinforced it even more. He used to seem like he really wanted to help people without the use of meds, had a holistic practice years ago, and that's why I chose to select him again when I came back to the area.

Today, I was informed CJ wasnt there anymore. He knows I have ADHD and anxiety and tried to tell me to stop my rapid speech trying to get everything out and then he got an attitude when I told him I didn't know what cholesterol medicine he was talking about and then he tried to make me feel bad because he couldn't call me to tell me he called it in when he did, because my phone was getting turned off. Then he proceeded to get mad when I said I was going to look into the medicine and related medical issues and then I might take the meds. He got agitated when I said I might not take them and didn't really care, and told me to find another doctor if I wasn't going to take care of myself. So now, he's a pill pusher to me. IDC what kind of pills, trying to make someone feel bad for not wanting to take something is unacceptable. But he should have been respectful to my feelings about medications especially ones I don't know. BY the end of it he yelled at me asking if he'd be allowed to talk but he was going to spew the same stuff he was spewing already.
