The came in after a lengthy wait (no apology or explanation) and took my pulse. "Arrithimia" she said. You need an EKG. She induced mild anxiety. The nurse performed an EKG. The doctor came back in and said no arrithimia. I ask about my feet and depression. She said a previous medication may be causing the problem with my feet. She said she would prescribe 150 mg of generic Wellbutrin. I said that I had previously, in 2017, been prescribed 300mg, which was very effective. She dismissed my comment without explanation. She ordered blood tests regarding my feet.

I have seen Dr. Ari several times and have found her to be dismissive and in a hurry to get out of the room. This last visit lasted maybe 7-10 minutes.

I have a lot of concerns about my doctor that make me not want to go back to her or recommend her to others. First of all when we were going through my habits, such as alcohol and drug use, I told her that I socially drank alcohol, however, upon telling her this she said "you're underage, you shouldn't be drinking alcohol. I'm going to mark down no alcohol use." This concerned me a lot because I told her one thing about my health and she decided to write down what she felt was correct. This made me very uncomfortable because it made me feel like she wasn't listening to me and that she would judge me for other lifestyle choices. I felt less open about telling her things I thought she would disagree with. After this, I started talking to her about some dry patches I had on my face and before she could let me explain any of my symptoms she said "It's only dry skin just apply moisturizer and it will be fine." Before I had even told her how long I've had the dry patches, what I've used so far to treat them, or any other general information about the patches she jumped to conclusions. It was only until I pushed further saying "I've had these patches on my face for 3 months and apply moisturizer every single day. It's not working." Did she consider recommending something else. I also had to double check to make sure that the Cortizone 10 that she was recommending didn't interfere with my level of alcohol use, because in her mind she was assuming a different level of alcohol use than what I actually told her. Very bad experience, I feel like I wasn't treated with my best interest in mind.

Dr. Sakthikarpagan Arigovindan, MD was the best! She really listened and helped me figure kut what was going on with my back and what the causes could be and what to do if it isn't better soon. She used what I told her abd my medical history to help me and figure out the best course of action.

I struggle with PCOS and fertility issues. I was made to take a pregnancy test without being told before hand why she needed a urine sample. She became combative when I began to cry about the test situation. I was not shown any empathy for my fertility struggles and told "well it's policy to give a pregnancy test"

A very good physician I get what I want and discussed all the Issues remotely by video call, and I get satisfactory answers.
