Dr Esther Yoo 3rd year resident is a very rude, Indecisive and has very poor bedside manner . She asks you a question, then cuts you off when you are trying to answer the question .Dr Yoo and scheduling promised me I would see an attending Dr who has graduated from medical school with experience and was working as a supervisor of residents that day and I never did. After taking forever to diagnose me and asking me the same questions several times. Dr Yoo came back in the exam room and said , "The attending Dr said she did not wish to see me ." Contrary to what I was informed by scheduling and Dr Yoo in the beginning of my appt. Which was that I would see a attending before leaving . Dr Yoo told me that the attending Dr Cooper stated "that she was satisfied with looking at a picture of my legs. " I explained to scheduling I DID NOT WANT TO SEE A RESIDENT IN TRAINING AND RISK THE CHANCE OF BEING MISDIAGNOSED. Well , I Walked out feeling like my visit was a complete waste of time and aggravated and I am concerned that she didn't diagnose my health issue correctly. She ( Dr Yoo ) defiantly argued back and forth with me when i shared with her how terribly afraid I was to try a new medication that she was trying to prescribe to me that has had many recalls. Im still not feeling well and really dont think she knew exactly what she was doing . She gave me a medicine that could aggravate my current condition. She rudely told me she had others patients checking in and didnt have time to discuss other medication options , after telling me repeatedly there were no other options ( which is utterly ridiculous) there is always more than one medication to treat an illness. If she would not have been so indecisive she may have had more time to listen to me as a patient. Will probably have to return to the hospital because both my legs are still red ,swollen and hurt
