This provider at best was unhelpful and at worst was incompetent and unprofessional.  She did not know my medical history and did not trust me when I reported, she said she had to verify in my chart.  As it turns out, she verified and I was correct. I indeed know my own medical history.    She lectured me on the use of contraceptives.  I'm 44 years old, had two children when over the age of 37, and have an established career as a COO and a licensed behavioral clinician.  I do not need a lecture of contraceptives.  She told me she didn't want me eating bread and would prefer that I eat potatoes.  If she wanted me to lose weight, advising eating potatoes is not even nutritionally prudent unless there's some new medical research saying potatoes help with weight loss that I am not privy to.    She left me laying on the table to take a personal call mid appointment. For a second time, she did not seem to understand my medical history (I had gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy 7 years ago, she seemed to believe that this condition affected my most recent pregnancy).  She scoffed at me and sarcastically said "thank you" when I attempted to set boundaries with her and explain my perspective and then said "I didn't mean that they way it sounded".  I'm fairly certain she intended it the way she said it, she was irritated with me, but she just didn't modulate her reaction in a professional manner.  She forgot to look at a mole, the one question I had come to the appointment with, and remembered after I had already began dressing.  She had to come back into the room to reexamine it.  Later, the nurse tried to mislead me or at least assert pressure to not take the covid vaccine, attempting to scare me that it is not covered by all insurances and that it costs $300.  When I had first told her that I was electing to have the vaccine that day, the nurse said multiple times that "it is my choice, it is always my choice".  I felt it was pressuring me that I didn't have to have it. I know that.  I choose public health and personal well being so I do the vaccine.   This is a horrifying level of patient service and care.  I will never return to this provider.  It was not worth my time or my money. There is absolutely no way that I would trust her to assess my health or outcomes. I will absolutely not continue to see her and I will find a new provider, likely outside of Aurora.
