Hi,
The worst thing my GI doc did was not listen to a thing I said, and then proving it by suggesting things I said I had already tried, or that had made me worse. She didn't offer me any examinations, nor did she know if I'd had any in the pass.
She was very dismissive of me and wouldn't even look at the food diary I brought, or listen to what I had tried in the past.
It became quickly obvious that I knew far more about my condition that she did. She told me to eat more fiber. She had no suggestions for me about diet, exercise or stress. She had only heard of one kind of medication, that I had a bad reaction to when I tried it before, and had to go ask someone else to find a different medication.
That's probably the BEST one I've had so far.
