I had the worse experiences here of my entire life...

I had the worse experiences here of my entire life. I went to the teaching clinic because that was the only way my insurance would cover it. I came here because I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis and Hypothyroidism. The first time wasn't horrible, but they completely ignored me when I tried to tell them my symptoms began before pregnancy and kept shoving my TSH test results in my face despite the fact that my active thyroid hormone was twenty points below the bottom of the reference range and I was barely functioning. I decided to give them a second chance when a Hashimotos specialist I follow on facebook said he did a lecture at Bastyr. I made an appointment specifically with a resident who supposedly specializes in treatment of thyroid. What a joke. First of all they put in the notes from my last appointment that my symptoms were all from pregnancy. I had to tell them yet again that my symptoms began well before I ever got pregnant. The resident didn't even let the students finish taking my more recent information before she busted in the room. She stood there with a smug smile on her face with arms crossed while the student tried to tell me that the natural medication I had been taking is what was causing my body to attack my thyroid. When I said that that made absolutely no sense whatsoever, since my thyroid antibodies were LOWER than they were before I ever started medication, the resident cut me off to say that Natural Dessicated Thyroid medications NEVER WORK. For anyone. Even if people feel fine for awhile they always end up needing Synthroid. When I started to tell her that an online group of thousands of thyroid patients would disagree with her, she actually put her hand in my face and shushed me. From that point on, I was not able to finish a single sentence without this woman interrupting me and trying to talk over me. I was interrupted at least 15 times as I collected my things and left. This place has absolutely no business trying to treat any person with a thyroid problem, and should consider removing "Natural" out of "Bastyr Center for NATURAL Health" since natural medication is so horrible.
The icing on the cake was when I emailed the office manager about my experience and all I received in response was "Thanks for the feedback!" McDonald's knows how to treat people better than this place.
