  You will be waiting at least 45 mins to an hour if not longer only to have your concerns dismissed. Not even 10 seconds after telling the doctor what I do for exercise she asked me if I’m exercising. Clearly not listening at all. Your appointment will be rushed and concerns brushed off if they don’t know what to do about them. Not sure how they’re always running late when they spend 5 minutes with you.

  Dr. Hakim is great!! She takes very good care of me. However, every time I come in my appointment does not take place until 45-1 hour later than it is suppose to. This has happened several times. I understand delays but there needs to be a change to scheduling to accommodate the appropriate time needed to tend patients. It becomes inconsiderate to people’s time.

  I’ve been trying for a week to get an appointment, but no one ever picks up the phone or calls back after voicemails. If it’s this hard just to schedule, I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be as a patient here.

  In order to make this review, I have included information that is likely protected. I am willing to do that to help others be aware. I do not recommend Frederick Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, especially Dr. Kayur Bhavsar. As a physician, you should never yell at a patient, ever! And, you definitely should never yell at someone who lives with ASD. You need to learn to take a breath and explain it for the one-thousand and first time, if that is what your patient needs. Instead of realizing that the data is wrong (or a discrepancy exists), you wanted to defend your decisions and make this out to be something that it was and is not about. Instead of reacting the way you did, maybe you should sit down, open your ears, and listen to your patient. After all we are the ones that will need to be at peace or have a general understanding when we leave your office. Because, we are the ones that will have to live with the alerts and alarms going off at 3:00 in the morning. Not you. We are the ones you are asking to make modifications to our lives (using data supplied by the devices you recommend). Not you. We are the ones who will suffer the damage caused by diabetes. Not you. As per your aggressive and flippant demand during my visit today, I reached out to Dexcom. There is an unexplained lack of consistency between the Dexcom, Stelo, and Clarity applications in my case. They have opened a ticket and will get back to me when they have an answer. However, they were able to see the discrepancy IMMEDIATELY and understand the importance of accurate data. To the point of saying, "please make your doctor aware of these discrepancies immediately." At that point, I hadn't even told them about my visit today. They are fully aware now. As a data scientist and a former clinical risk manager, I was attempting to explain to you I DO NOT feel comfortable with you making decisions regarding my healthcare using data that is inconsistent. Dexcom agrees! Your response repeatedly was "I'm telling you good news and you're getting hung up on the data." That statement is wildly ironic. In the same breath you're telling me you're looking at the data, and the data is telling you that you should not make changes, you're telling me the data doesn't matter. How is that? A question you never answered today. Matter-of-fact, you became really defensive when I asked about the data and it's inconsistency. I wasn't questioning the diagnosis, which I wonder if I should at this point. I am the patient. If I have those types of questions, it is not only your responsibility to explain it to me one-thousand and one times, if necessary, but your obligation under your licensure. I showed your nurse when she returned to the office after you yelled at me, that there is a discrepancy. The Stelo app stated that I was 86% within range all day yesterday. The Clarity App (generated by data from Dexcom and Stelo) shows that I was 100% "within range". This happened throughout the 2 weeks I wore the Dexcom. She stated she has noted my record with what I have shown her. I have screenshots of the inconsistencies which I have provided to Dexcom for their review. Regardless of the data issues, your beside manner is probably the worst I have seen in 20 years of being employed in healthcare, both as a flight medic for 12 years AND as a clinical risk manager for 10 years. Ten years where my job was to investigate claims made by patients of doctors acting just as you did today. We are patients; we are humans; and we are navigating new and turbulent time in our lives. The last thing we need is an egomaniac using circular arguments to defend and justify themselves. Instead how about just saying "let's see if we can figure this out together" and treat your patient!
