Review of Center for Neuroscience Tucson...

Had my first appointment today with Dr. Adam Reyno...

Had my first appointment today with Dr. Adam Reynolds. Upon arrival received a pleasant experience with front office staff, and Esther one Dr. Reynolds MA's. When the Dr. entered the room with his entourage of three people, one intern, a NP (Barb Lucas) training to work under him, and his personal transcriptionist. He was cordial and professional. After a few questions, a quick review of lab work(results I provided), and a 5 minute evaluation of my severe neuropathy(hands, legs, feet) he proceeded to tell me my med plan. First he concluded that I had a moderate level of neuropathy. I was absolutely shocked! Holding back tears my husband stressed to him that this level he expressed was incorrect. This has affected my quality of life for a long time and in fact my level of neuropathy is very severe. How can a Dr. conclude moderate level of neuropathy after a 10 minute evaluation? I'm thinking he really thinks his superior MD training/experience can evaluate me that quickly after I have been progressively declining the last 5 years of my life? He then ordered stat lab orders-not explained to me. A nerve study done by him(soonest appt. Nov. 9), and a script for topiramate. He proceeded to tell me the side effects except for the massive hair loss that many patients suffer from. The Dr. mentioned the weight loss side effect would be a plus for me. I had a foot ulcer that had me off my feet for 9 months but he did not want to hear much I had to say about any issues I had.He was in such a hurry to go he did not even have the manners to say anything courteous to a first time patient. He was rude, condescending, and disrespectful. He will be doing my nerve study because it must be done by a MD. I must give a great big thank you to his 2nd MA, Rebecca she was a God send for me. She was so kind and caring exactly what I needed after that appt. I just had with the callous Dr. Reynolds. I will be seeing Barb Lucas, NP as soon as the NCV is completed by Dr.Reynolds and Rebecca will be her MA. Hopefully the next review will be 5 stars. This is the first time I have written a review that's how awful Dr. Adam Reynolds treated me.
