Instead of recommending a doctor who could help me, he refused to help and stated ‘that's Covid' and pushed that I get ‘vaccinated'. I had to fight my doctor to allow monoclonal antibody treatment for a terrible case of Covid.
Doesn’t a patient have a say in their own health if the patient is competent? Take a Drivers License away from a competent person they will ask what do I have to live for? Laura is definitely a NP that I would not recommend to anyone. Laura is pulling Driver’s License from patients that can drive only to appease the family. My dad is doing great he is mentally and physically capable of driving. Laura is not listening to the patient only to the family members. They don't want my dad to drive anymore because he visits his family, which means they have to give him money for gas. My sister and Laura have become very close, and Laura is going along with my sister regarding my dad’s health. Laura called me back at 6:30 pm that night. Since I have no say in my dad's healthcare, I knew I couldn't get any personal information on his health, but I called Aurora Family Medicine and had a message given to Laura explaining who I was, my phone number and why I was calling. My dad's health was deteriorating, and my mother and sister were doing nothing about it. My mother and sister are narcistic people and after my stroke they no longer consider me family. The most recent encounter with Laura my dad was very sick with Bronchitis and Covid the end of November 2021. We didn't go to see Laura for a coffee and chat session.
The patient and family member(s) should be free to leave. The exam should be taken care of, and any instructions or other pertinent information should be discussed. A patient should come first, their reason for seeing Laura should take top priority. Again, the patient was put on the back burner until Laura was done visiting. The third encounter she talked about the person we both knew, and she started bad mouthing this person. Again, Laura talked about this person more than she talked to the patient. My second encounter, she had found out we were related to someone she knew. The first time I met her was about 6 years ago, she would rather visit with the patient and family member(s), then really discuss why the patient was there. Her name is Laura A Rockendorf NP at Aurora Family Medicine, 1910 Alabama Street, Sturgeon Bay WI 54235. I am making a complaint on my dad's primary healthcare provider. Crap care and I will tell everyone for the rest of my life to avoid you at all costs! Osteophytes all over my vertebrae prove this was something you would have seen when I was visiting. Patient referred for mutliple disc fusions and ongoing pain management care. Irreprehensible!Ĭurrent State: Source of disc degeneration due to pelvic tilt. Maybe I should have used that visit as a glimpse into my future of thousands of dollars of doctor's bills with no real diagnosis.
Also, my very first visit for this was shoulder pain which the doc said I have no trigger points, but I insisted he treat and when injecting steroid into the muscle, it started crackling that's how bad it was. I also have pelvic tilt which is affecting my ability to go to the bathroom. Do not go here for complex care! Actually, a quick MRI or two would have provided the answer when instead you shuttled me in and out of specialists offices for years with numerous doctors who called me a liar. 9 bulged discs 2 herniated discs and 1 disc dead and dried.
My dexterity is horrible now and I have severe orthostatic intolerance. Something that might have been helped with physical therapy and proper treatments instead was treated like a lie, or like some junkie that wanted pain relief on occasion! I now have multiple comorbidities due to a state of hyperinflammation and will most likely die young. You don't have a crystal vere disc degeneration does not happen overnight. You do not know all and treating patients like hypochondriacs is absolutely unethical and irresponsible. You are doctors! Use the analytical instrumentation to look inside your patient's bodies, listen to their symptoms. Two MRI's later, I have severe cervical and lumbar disc degeneration. I moved out of state recently and my back pain began to get worse.
I gave up after the final doctor told me a needed a life coach and not a doctor. I was sent to specialist after specialist for years without anyone figuring out my diagnosis. I presented with tingling in my extremities, chronic/painful headaches, shortness of breath, fast heart rate, numbness in my lower face, shoulder trigger points, myofascial/muscle spasms and chronic back pain.
As a patient with multi-systemic symptoms, I would admit my case might be a little difficult/time-consuming case.
