Dr. Carlisle was very warm and I felt very at ease. She explained everything clearly and made sure I understood the care plan and answered all my questions with care.

I was put off by the provider I was seen by for a few reasons. I came in being recommended a certain medicine to look further Into and upon asking her about It I was told that It was essentially not a smart Idea for me as it can harm an unborn fetus. I informed her I am not sexually active and while I understand situations like that change all the time at the drop of a hat, knowing I was on something this potentially dangerous, I would be making more Informed decisions. I felt like I was almost condescendingly lectured on and it ended up not even being relevant to my situation. Upon further discussions about other prescription medications to try, none of them addressed any other needs that I needed met except for the one. I circled back to it and asked what the minimum dose I would be taking would be. I would be starting off at 25 mg, and at most be taking up to 100 mg a day. A high dose is considered 100 mg twice a day, or 200 mg per day if I were to take in her words, 120 mg or more per day, that's where it would be affecting my birth control effectiveness and therefore potential pregnancy. I was very confused as to why I received this whole overstating the risk discussion, when I would only be receiving UP to half of the dose that could potentially mess with my other medications. I can absolutely understand the worst case scenario, but that's not remotely close to my situation, especially when I explained to her that due to my two current conditions and all of the medications I have to take, it is severely impacting my quality of life and I didn't feel as though I got a lot of empathy or representing my best interest and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

None

Haven't seen her for years and she still remembered my system's oddity with ginger ale helping me sleep. Usually doctors act like then never bothered to look at your file at all.
-
Very informative
-
When I told her the feelings that were bothering me she said nothing wrong I just old. In a matter of fact tone of voice.
-
Excellent information given in a professional, friendly manner
-
Dr. Carlisle had no answers for me and brushed me off entirely, did not document one of the issues I am having at all and her solution to the other issue is not something that will help me, which she noted in her clinical notes
-
Excelente.
-
This Dr. Took time to be sure even though I'm a nurse that I understood and was comfortable with plan to find a solution to my problem.
-
Records are in Florida. Records were requested. No follow up from optum. I was diagnosed last November, but can't get surgery scheduled due to delay after delay. Very frustrating. I guess this is how the system works. Too many doctors involved, but no sense of urgency.
-
They knew me and my file.
-
Dr. Carlisle had my medical history ready to discuss with me,as well as a proposed treatment plan.
-
Well integrated record system
-
She was great
-
Excellent care and communication solving next steps for exacerbation of symptoms.
-
Dr Carlisle is doing very well with managing my condition.
-
I felt that Dr. Carlisle wasn't aware of any communication I had been having with the medical assistant over the last 3 months, which was disappointing. She also never asked how I was feeling or anything about my symptoms. I advocated for another medicine aside from Botox and even though she initially didn't agree, she prescribed it. The whole experience just felt very uncaring and not personal at all. I'm hoping to change providers soon
