Some issues Dr. Linda Marie Pope, MD can help you with:

Depression

Everyone knows what it feels like to get the blues once in a while. But depression is a serious illness that is more severe than a bad day and lasts much longer. Symptoms of depression stop a person from being able to function and enjoy daily activities for weeks or months at a time. It can happen to anyone, and it isn't something that people can control by force of will or "snap out of it."

Some common symptoms of depression include:

  • Feeling sad, guilty, empty or hopeless
  • Fatigue and a lack of energy and motivation
  • A loss of pleasure in activities that were previously enjoyed
  • Unusual sleep or eating habits
  • Mental fog -- trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
  • Physical aches and pains
  • Suicidal thoughts or a preoccupation with death

We don't yet know what causes depression, but it's thought that it is a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and social influences. Because of this, the most effective treatments for depression combine medication with psychotherapy. Therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, can be extremely helpful in resolving the negative thoughts and feelings that come with depression. It gives patients new tools that they can use themselves to cope when their depression is making them feel down.

Some of the common medications used to treat depression include antidepressants such as SSRI's (Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft) or atypical antidepressants (Cymbalta, Wellbutrin). It's important to remember that these medications have different effects on everybody, and no one medication works right for everyone. Patients may have to try a couple before finding the one that works just right for them. If the first medication they try doesn't work, they should talk to their doctor about trying something else. In extreme cases where medication is not enough, electro-convulsive therapy and hospitalization may be the answer to keeping a severely depressed person safe.

Depression is a difficult illness to deal with, but it is more common than believed and there are many people who can help. With the right treatment, individuals with depression can get back to fully enjoying life again.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are mental and physical illnesses that impact behavior, emotions, and thoughts about eating, food, body appearance, and weight. These disorders are characterized by preoccupations with food and physical size, resulting in dramatic lifestyle changes and adverse health effects. In the past, eating disorders were often diagnosed using BMI (body mass index), or by assessing someone's weight. Eating disorders specialists now recognize that eating disorders may occur in people of all sizes. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder (BED).

Anorexia nervosa, frequently referred to as anorexia, is a disorder where people severely restrict the types and quantity of food they eat. Those with anorexia have an extreme fear of eating and gaining weight and may repeatedly weigh themselves or engage in harmful behaviors such as excessive exercise or starvation. Those with anorexia often find themselves preoccupied with food, but unable to consume a healthy amount of it. This results in symptoms such as abnormally low BMI, vitamin deficiency, fatigue, fainting, and amenorrhea (lack of menstruation in women). Anorexia may cause bluish discoloration of the hands, brittle and falling out hair, yellowish skin, and lanugo (fine, downy hair). Left untreated, anorexia can lead to organ failure, brain damage, and even death.

Bulimia nervosa, typically called bulimia, is a disorder where people binge (eat large quantities of food) and purge the food that they just consumed by vomiting, laxative abuse, fasting, or excessive exercise. This behavior is usually motivated by a feeling of powerlessness over eating and a fear of weight gain or desire for weight loss. Bulimia can occur in underweight, normal weight, and overweight people. Symptoms of bulimia include acid reflux, intestinal distress, dehydration from purging, amenorrhea, and dental erosion from vomiting. Some people with bulimia have swollen parotid glands (salivary glands near the cheeks) and red scars and marks on the backs of their knuckles. Electrolyte imbalance from bulimia can be particularly severe and may lead to heart attack or stroke.

Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder. People with BED feel that they are unable to control the amount of food they eat and may continue to binge after reaching a point of fullness. BED binges (consuming large amounts of food) are often accompanied by feelings of sadness, guilt, and shame. Symptoms of BED include obesity, acid reflux, weight gain, and dissatisfaction with one's body. People with BED tend to experience cycles of negative emotions and binges. Binges or BED episodes can be provoked by stress, boredom, restrictive dieting, depression, and other triggers.

Other common eating disorders include:

  • Pica, eating things that are not food, such as paper, ice, or soil
  • Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), disinterest in eating and avoidance of food
  • Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED), abnormal eating that does not fall under any disorder

Many people with eating disorders do not consciously develop them, and have difficulty seeking treatment. For this reason, it's important to detect and treat eating disorders as early as possible. Treatment for eating disorders can vary from therapy visits to inpatient treatment, depending on the disorder and its severity. Treatment aims to not only restore physical health and correct negative behaviors, but to also promote psychological well-being and self-confidence.

Sexual Health Issues

Sexual health is a broad and loosely defined term that encompasses several extremely different areas of medicine. Sexual health not only includes physical health related to the act of sex, but also emotional, mental, or identity issues that can interfere with healthy sexuality. Because this scope is so broad, a huge number of health care professionals can accurately say they work in the sexual health specialty. Some of the many varied conditions included in sexual health include intimacy disorders, sexually transmitted diseases, reproductive health, LGBTQ issues, and sexual violence.

Sexual intimacy disorders are those that cause problems with the act of sexual intercourse, such as erectile dysfunction or vulvodynia. Erectile dysfunction, the inability to get or maintain an erection hard enough for sexual intercourse, is extremely common. It affects fully half of men over 40 to some degree. It is treated with medications, devices, or surgery. Vulvodynia, burning pain in the vulva that can be made worse with sexal activity, has no known cause. It is treated with oral or topical medications.

Sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS, herpes, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, are bacterial or viral infections that are contagious in the bodily fluids exchanged during sexual contact. Barrier methods of contraception, such as condoms, help prevent the spread of STDs. HIV is a virus that can be caught from an infected person's sexual fluids or blood. When the virus infects the body, it interferes with the immune system and causes the disease known as AIDS. There is no cure, but anti-viral medications can help people with AIDS live a long and healthy life. Herpes is also a virus found in sexual fluids, called HSV-2. It causes blisters that come and go on the genitals. There is no cure for herpes, but anti-virals can minimize outbreaks. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are both bacterial infections. They are extremely common and often have no symptoms. The most common signs of an infection are burning pain and discharge. Gonorrhea and chlamydia can be treated with medications.

Reproductive health refers to both contraception and infertility treatment. Contraceptives prevent and plan the timing of pregnancy. Some, such as a vasectomy or tubal ligation, are extremely effective at preventing pregnancy. Others, such as spermicides, are less reliable. Popular contraceptives include condoms, birth control pills, IUDs, and diaphragms. On the other side of reproductive health, infertility is the inability to carry a pregnancy to term after one year of trying. It can be due to problems in either the man or the woman, and both genders are affected equally. In total, about 15% of the population suffer from infertility. Infertility treatments include medications and surgery.

Gay and transgender people have a few specific health care needs that may sometimes fall under the sexual health umbrella. First, many LGBT people still face discrimination from healthcare providers, so providing supportive and appropriate care is an issue. Because of social attitudes surrounding sexual orientation and gender identity, many gay and transgender people struggle with their identities. Rates of depression, substance abuse, and suicide are all higher in this group. Providing mental health support and counseling to those in transition is critical. Finally, transgender patients who are undergoing gender affirmation require sensitive medical health care, including surgical and hormonal treatment.

Sexual violence can be defined as any unwanted or non-consensual sexual activity. It ranges from sexual harassment to touching to rape. It affects women more than men and is widespread: 1 in 4 women report being victims of sexual violence at the hands of a partner, and as many as 1 in 3 girls report their first sexual contact as being violent. Sexual violence has lasting physical and emotional consequences for victims, but educating both girls and boys can prevent violence. Care for those who have endured sexual violence includes counseling and mental health support, medical care, and legal support.

Sexuality is more than a reproductive requirement -- it is a form of expression and identity. Sexual health blends all these aspects of experience together and helps people lead sexually fulfilling lives.

My primary care provider referred me to Dr. Pope because she had an available appointment. This was semi-urgent for me because I was worried about a condition that may have restricted imminent travel. I am more than grateful that Dr. Pope was available to see me. She not only eased my mind about my condition and upcoming travel, but also confirmed I had been doing the right things about it in the interim. She also made the referral to a specialist as I expected she would.The entire visit went very smoothly, including virtually, no wait once I arrived or four Dr. Pope once the intake process has been completed. The entire staff was gracious and courteous. Everything about this experience went perfectly!

I'm uncertain as to when exactly they moved their location, but there was a month when I could not make an appointment online, and I could not get through on the phone. I was the 19th caller in the queue. When I tried to make an appointment online, the only option was for a mammogram, and that was not what I wanted to be seen for. Due to excessive wait times on the phone, it was necessary for me to make appointments with urgent care. I had to do this two times because I could not get through. This experience was out of the ordinary, and I assumed it was due to the move. Dr. Pope is an incredible provider. She Is both highly intelligent and compassionate. I am fortunate to have her for my primary care.

Dr. Pope is an outstanding physician. It is much more convenient (for me) now that her "Primary Care" office Is next to the Prov. "Creekside lab". It is helpful to have immediate results in MyChart. Some of my providers do NOT have access to the MyChart/Epic system so I can share my results easier-although another providers do not always send their summaries to Dr. Pope (as I have requested). Dr. Pope is always thoughtful in her suggestions and tailors her medical advice to my specific needs. She and her nurses never seem to be rushed-although I know they have many other patients to attend to.Prov is fortunate to have her on staff.

Dr. Pope understood my medical issue & has been very easy to communicate through myChart for my follow-up concerns. She was thorough & had a way forward for my foot injury as my condition changed. Unfortunately it is difficult to see her in person on short notice when a non-routine issue comes up that needs immediate medical attention. Urgent care is just not the same quality of medical care since I don't have a relationship with the urgent care docs. Dr. Pope is an awesome & caring doc who is very organized & calls in meds & communicates back in a timely manner.

Dr. Pope has been such a blessing to my elderly parents. She is compassionate and knowledgeable. She really cares about my parents as people. Dr. Pope routinely goes above and beyond, she often valls us with updates about screenings and results. Dr. Pope Is very quick to respond to MyChart questions. I often attend appointments with my parents because their hearing is so poor. Dr. Pope makes sure that my parents and I understand what is happening and why. I am so grateful to Dr. Pope and to her kind and professional staff.

When I schedule an appointment, I typically take a "list" of symptoms, questions and/or concerns I would like to discuss. Dr Pope's nurse always asks why I came in. I briefly share those concerns. When Dr Pope comes in, she already has a heads-up regarding my concerns. Dr Pope listens to my concerns and offers a plan of care. I am confident with her conclusions. The last thing she always asks Is: Is there anything else you want to talk about with me?

Dr. Pope always listens about my health concerns and gets back to me usually not by phone, but through My Chart. She is knowledgeable, kind, and caring about me and addresses any concerns I may have. I like the fact that she asks several times at the end of my appointment, "Do you have any other questions?" She pauses and waits a bit for me to answer. Best primary care doctor around!

Doc Pope is very thorough and always takes time to understand my concerns and if necessary she refers me to the appropriate specialist providers. Her knowledge of other providers and tests available is impressive. Unlike some providers who guess at what RX to prescribe or run out of the office to Google my symptoms-she knows her stuff! I hope her new office is nice.

Would be nice to be able to get a same day appointment if call in early am. Also would be nice if questions and requests could be answered in less than several days. Dr Pope is an excellent physician who is always responsive to my questions and requests. She respects my knowledge as a healthcare practitioner.

Dr Linda Pope and her team always listen to my concerns and are thorough. I'm typically prepared with a list of concerns and/or questions which I share briefly with the assistant. Dr Pope then addresses my concerns and offers Ideas and/or remedies. She listens to my concerns. Always extremely respectful.
