How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
I should have read the review by Annie S. prior to my visit with Dr. Kelley. I am also an RN and new to Vegas and in need of finding a new GYN. The receptionist was very nice however, when I walked into the office it was an uninviting atmosphere. I waited about an hour to be seen. The entire clinical staff was unfriendly and unwelcoming. The MA took my blood pressure and did not bother to relay the reading to me. Neither she nor the Dr. asked if I had any concerns that I wanted to discuss. The reason for my visit was for my annual physical, discuss the removal of a paragard IUD and the placement of a Mirena IUD. (I am menopausal and am on estrogen therapy so I need opposing progesterone). I have conducted much research of published studies supporting the use of the Mirena IUD to provide opposed progesterone while using estrogen for menopausal symptoms. I told him I did not want to use an oral progesterone due to the side effects (specifically weight gain) as studies have shown that direct vaginal application (Mirena IUD) or transdermal patches do not produce these side effects.THERE ARE RECENT PUBLISHED MEDICAL STUDIES PROVING THIS!! His comment was that he would not know why anyone would want to use the Mirena IUD for this purpose and that the claims of side effects of oral progesterone (weight gain) were false. Then he asked me in an extremely condescending tone, "how do you know that you are menopausal?" SERIOUSLY???!?!! I AM A NURSE, I have lab results showing almost non existent estrogen and high FSH levels, suffered unrelenting hot flashes prior to the use of the transdermal estrogen patch, I have not had a period for 1 year AND I am 52 years old!! He whisked me into the stirrups and abruptly and very roughly proceeded with the pap & pelvic exam. After he and MA left the room I suffered a vasovagal response. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS DR FOR MY HEALTHCARE NEEDS AND WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND HIM OR HIS OFFICE TO ANYBODY. HE WAS RUDE, CONDESCENDING, EXTREMELY ROUGH AND ABSOLUTELY HAS A SUPERIORITY COMPLEX!I!!
