    Dr Tapia was very nice. He ordered a lot of blood work and x-rays and said he would call me the next week to discuss the results and path forward. I have still not heard from him!

    Appointment was rescheduled twice last minute then when I finally got in he barely met with me and took a phone call in the middle of me speaking about what was going on with me. When he wrote to me about my test results it was clear he hasn’t listened to anything I said because he wasn’t ever aware that I’d been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s.
