Dr. Robert W Sugerman, MD - Reviews Is this you? Claim your profile

I treated with Dr. Sugerman for a year for a rare immunodeficiency. I had new symptoms arise while I was his patient that were very serious. He could not figure out what was wrong with me but always said he could see I was very sick. Two times I came to him with ideas of what could be wrong and his response was to gaslight me, suggest I was not capable of researching my own health, and to imply dramatization. He warped my suggestions into the worst possible diagnoses associated with them and scoffed that I would be dead if I had these issues. Blood tests confirmed I was right on track with both of my suspicions. A doctor that handles rare diseases should appreciate that patients with one rare disease often have others. I now know I have three and have found an amazing immunologist who has helped me to feel so much better. He also respects that I am part of my healthcare team- something Dr. Sugerman struggled with- and works with me, not belittling me.
