Sharma Holistic Medical Center

I was very excited to have my appointment here. I have some stomach issues and was looking for a way to cure it naturally. (I don’t always do well with pharma meds)
I called to make an appointment and the receptionist told me which forms to fill out online. I did exactly what I was told.
Two days before my appointment, I get a message from Dr Sharma herself telling me to fill out all necessary forms and bring a list of all the supplements I take.
On the day of my appointment I bring exactly what was told to me. Asked her receptionist a few questions and she is less than friendly.
Office is messy, papers and pamphlets for this and that all over, boxes stacked its a real cluster f@ck.
My appointment is for 2pm. I get called at 2:30.
Nasty pants receptionist calls me into a room to take my blood pressure. Room was gross. IV stands all over, hospital grade chairs for long duration stays. Actually the last time I saw these types of chairs is when my mom was going for chemo. And again crap all over, boxes, pamphlets. Table across from me had a syringe and a few vials of something next to it.
I was waiting for someone with a chainsaw to come out and cut my head off.
Eventually I get called in to see the Dr.
She is this tiny little frail woman almost cute enough to squeeze.
She asks me what brings me there and asks for my paperwork. I hand her all that I was asked to bring.
She says «where is your blood work»
I say. «no one told me to bring blood work»
Then cute goes away and out comes this monster.
«I SPOKE TO YOU ON THE PHONE MYSELF AND TOLD YOU TO BRING BLOODWORK!!!»
I say «no you didn’t. You left me a voice message and never mentioned bloodwork. If you don’t believe it, I can play it back to you»
NO I DONT NEED TO HEAR IT. NOW I HAVE To DO THIS BLIND.
I suggest that we reschedule the appointment since it’s costing me $ 250.
(she wanted bloodwork from 3 – 4 different drs that I had seen recently)
NO WE ARE NOT GOING TO RESCHEDULE.
I try to call my drs to fax over my bloodwork but because it’s a holiday, they are closed.
So for the next 2 hours she talks to me about all her services. Does some hokey thing with chakras while I lay on a table.
I felt like such an idiot.
Ever see the episode from Seinfeld «the Heart Attack»? This could have been a sequel.
