Geriatrician who are Physicians - Olympia, WA

"First off I’m seeing him for my swollen bright red Left foot after seeing a podiatrist. After waiting 45 minuets past my appointment time he tells me he spent that time researching my problem and comes up with my right knee tear from 06/27/18 medical meniscus of my right knee 2 years’ prior which I have no problems with now, I’m here for my left foot and tries to tie the two issues together. After trying to explain my left foot problem he wants to give me Vicodin for pain as the podiatrist did and I did take one as the pain was intense but had no effect. My chart states I’m allergic to Vicodin so I informed him. As a heart transplant with low immunosuppression I have skin cancer and asked for a referral to a demonologist who he then argued he didn’t have the time to make the referral as he spent so much time researching my knee. We have called multiple times and as of yet, its 07/29/22, it has not been approved and they can’t tell me who approves it after 23 days and the spot on my leg grows larger with pain. He then refers me to a orthopedic surgeon for my Right foot which was really my left foot. My chart still says right foot even after he said he would fix that. "
