I switched from my Sharp Rees after several years with my physician as I felt my medical needs were not being addressed. After my first appointment with Dr. Liske I felt unheard and rushed. She asked that I return in theee months. I Assumed she was having a rough day and decided to go back to her. At my second appointment, I felt unheard once again, she refused to listen to my medical concerns, recommended a couple meds without explaining what they were for or offering alternatives, and appeared condescending. The anppointment from walking from my car to check-in, being weighed, and undressing, waiting for doctor and meeting with Dr lasted 14 minutes total. After two appointments, I knew Dr. Liske was not a good fit for me and I have switched back to Sharp Rees.

I enjoy having the app to receive my lab results and follow up comments from the doctor

I selected three topics to discuss with Dr. Liske. She went over each with me and was prepared to discuss them and answer my questions. I was anxious about an upcoming test, and she showed care and concern in helping me deal with that.

I felt very discouraged and disrespected by Dr. Liske's treatment of me. When I raised questions about my blood test showing low iron, which was a new development, all she suggested was to take a supplement. Nothing to address possible causes or other options besides a pill. When I responded saying I had gotten information from the internet, she didn't let me finish my comment, instead she interrupted and said, "I have a medical degree, I am not interested in your internet searches." She didn't care that my further research was specific to possible causes and dietary changes to address low iron and it came from Cedar Sinai not some random social media or Wikipedia search. I also mentioned my anxiety when driving in traffic and she only wanted to prescribe meds. When I declined drugs she said, "I don't want to lose you as a patient, but maybe you should find another doctor closer to where you live." Sending a clear message that she actually doesn't want me as a patient. She ended the "exam" by stopping at the door long enough to say over her shoulder in response to my question about updated vaccines that I don't need a Covid booster, I can get one with my flu shot later. Basically none of my questions or concerns about my abnormal blood tests were discussed. My question for this survey is, if Sharp doesn't want patients to know test results and to do further research to arrive at appointments informed, why are the results posted to our portals for review? I have lived in and with and caring for my body for almost 75 years, Dr. Liske has known me and my body for about 1 hour of that 75 years (three 20-minute appointments). I doubt she would even know me if she passed me on the street. So I don't know why she would be so disrespectful and dismissive when I ask questions or want to discuss options for treatments.
