Upon entering the Dr.'s office, I notice the framed advertisements Of Dr. Naina herself which inform me that she is a National representative for 'Oil of Olay' Cosmetics. There are more articles and stunning pictures of the Dr. preserved in plastic sleeves also lying on the coffee table and in the the waiting rooms. There are cabinets lining the walls full of beauty products and treatments bearing her name. I think for a moment I have wandered into the wrong office, thinking instead it must be a beauty supplier.
After a lenghly two hour wait, I am taken back to a room where I wait for an additional 20 minutes. When the doctor walks in, she says hello and proceeds to talk at lightning speed into a hand held recorder as if I am just an observer......when I question her about her recommended treatment, she tells me ' I dont have a clue"" and to read Susanne Somer's book! Now the last time I checked, Susanne Somers didn't have a Medical degree . So rather than take the time to explain to me why she supports this particular type of treatment, I am told to go buy a very controversial book written by an actress. Blood tests are ordered and I am told I need to purchase 87 dollars worth of vitamins and two types of progesterone creams.
The office staff try to do a good job in spite of the obvious surrounding chaos but it took 2 weeks for a staff member to get back to me regarding a refund on the vitamins .
The information on the internet reveals that her 'company' reports between 500 thousand and 1 million dollars a year in revenue.
I feel I received unprofessional and inappropriate advice, the waiting time was unreasonable, and the fact that this is a registered business made me uncomfortable. I believe the main focus of a doctor should be the patient and not the 'product'.
You decide .
