Donald J Wilfong, MD

I moved to the area and was looking for a new PCP. I wanted to find someone I clicked with and that I can build a long relationship with. This place was near me and I figure I’ll give it a shot. I also wanted to take the opportunity to get a prescription for some meds I needed for when I head out of the country.
The experience was pretty typical. Setup appointment, came in, had the physician assistant assess me. Pretty standard. The PA noticed I have high blood pressure. I already knew this and was currently taking steps to fix it.
Then Dr. Wilfong came in. He checked my blood pressure and started to lecture me about it. He was very condescending. He went on to say that men usually don’t listen to what he tells them to do and I probably wouldn’t either. He looked at his PA and went on about how him and his women patients get along great. But for some reason men just never listen to him. He questioned my last PCP visit and whether I was going to stay in the area.
I ended up not saying much. He was giving me directions on what to do next. I nodded and agreed. At the end of it, he asked if I understood. I told him I understood. He scoff and said, «Well you bought that quickly.» He then wrote my prescription for my medication, stated that «this is what you’re here for,» left it on the table, then darted out of the room with a quick «see ya.»
The encounter lasted less than two minutes. I didn’t even get to talk to him about other health issues before he walked out of the door. I just sat on the bed feeling embarrassed for myself.
I guess my PCP search continues.
