  I went in to make sure my symptoms were solely CRPS, (women commonly develop autoimmune problems with this awful disease) & treatment. My nervous system is also really broken, I can't even regulate my body temperature anymore. I know CRPS is a rare disease, but I had my hopes up for finally getting treatment, as most "specialists " around here are cash only & charge up to 100k$. I expect Drs to not know anything about this disease, it's rare, and many don't..but to completely ignore me, not even write down my CRPS dx, also in my medical records(dx by several specialists over the last 3 years), to only give me muscle relaxers and label me as fibro...I'd give anything for that dx, I'd be in less pain and wouldn't need the loads of meds from pain management. The only meds that truly help is a specific steroid that settle down firing nerves. Then just telling me no, no steroids. I get damn near suicidal during flareups..even the ERgives me a huge dose when I'm at my limit for extreme pain. /I shouldn't expect medical treatment after 3 years of being passed around..but this is the 1st time I've been completely ignored. I respect the Drs that tell me they don't know how to treat me, at least they don't waste my time & money. Due to lack of treatment, my bloodwork is always a mess, and it has spread to full body. My stomach, heart, face/ 1head, literally everywhere. It feels like I'm on fire with broken bones...I've broken 7 teeth from subconsciously grinding them during flareups. I have a wheelchair, because if I do to much, I literally can't walk. You actually recommended exercise..I'd end up hospitalized or dead from over heating...My toes are crooked from extreme nerve damage left untreated. You know how horrible it feels to be dismissed, and that dx was really disrespectful for what I (and others) have to live with. It's called the suicide disease for a reason..Does this look like fibromyalgia to you(pics below)??? My limbs turning dark purple was the dead give away for CRPS..my foot was obliterated by an 8k lb forklift.. I've been in severe pain since the night of the accident over 3 years ago... Sorry for the long review...but I give up. Only the wealthy have access to care...12k for ketamine...exact same treatment, different doses, for depression, 1k...Between this and bad genetics, I'll be lucky if I live to see 50 anyways...

  I was referred to this rheumatologist after experiencing ongoing symptoms for nearly two years and hoping to finally get clarity and answers. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely frustrating and discouraging. During my first visit, the doctor was unable to locate lab results that had been completed just one month prior. She initially planned to send me for duplicate testing until I pulled up the results on my phone and showed them to her myself so she could document them. Although I had already completed similar testing, I followed her recommendation to repeat lab work because I genuinely wanted thorough answers and trusted her medical judgment. I was told to return for a follow-up appointment in three weeks. When my lab results came back, the report noted that some tests could not be completed due to “possible interfering substances.” Concerned, I attempted multiple times to contact the office to ask whether I should redo the labs before my follow-up appointment, as I drive about an hour each way. My calls and voicemails initially went unanswered. When I finally reached the medical assistant, he told me he would speak with the doctor and later called back stating she still wanted to see me as scheduled. I specifically confirmed that the appointment would still be productive even with incomplete results, and I was reassured that it would be. At my follow-up visit, scheduled for 11:00 AM, I was not brought into a room until 12:15 PM. After reviewing my chart, the doctor noticed the same lab issue and stated she had never seen that before and would need to send me to repeat the testing. When I explained that I had called ahead to avoid exactly this situation, she interrupted me and stated that her medical assistant had never spoken to her. The interaction felt dismissive and condescending, and my attempts to explain my concerns were repeatedly cut off. Despite expressing how physically unwell and desperate I have been to find answers after two years of symptoms, there was no acknowledgment of the inconvenience, miscommunication, or emotional impact of the situation. No apology was offered. The appointment ended abruptly with new lab orders handed to me before the doctor left the room. I left the office in tears, feeling unheard and defeated. Managing chronic symptoms is already difficult, and clear communication and empathy are incredibly important in specialty care. Unfortunately, this experience lacked both.

  If you don't mind waiting over an hour to be seen she's fine but that's ridiculous! I'm busy too!

  I am updating my review. I don't know why people are giving Dr. Freyne a bad review. She is a good doctor like okay she might not be the type of doctor that smiles and act cheery, but she is a good doctor and she will get to the bottom of what is wrong. Last time I was there she had a med student and she was in training she asked and told me she will be sitting with us while she goes over and hopes I did not mind which of course I did not. I was worries about my wrist hurting over the summer. After seeing an orthoptic who said I had osteoarthritis in both hand my chiropractor said it was De quervains Dr Freyne agreed with my chiropractors theory. Not only did she agree but she ran bloodwork and an ultrasound on my writs' and all of it was done at her office I did not have to go else where to get these done which saved me time. She is going to work on helping me heal my De quervains. She is the type of old school Doctor we need more. Her job is to get you healed so you can keep going with life. I feel those who gave her the negative reviews either get mad and blame her for their health or they don't like hearing the truth. Its understandable to be upset, but don't be mad at doctors for it. I was surprised at how quick I got in for both first and follow up. A month in advance some places take 3 months or the up coming year. She is a hidden gem. So I hope people stop slandering this doctor when all she wants to do is help patience's.

  Terrible doctor. Has no empathy and should not be in health care.
