Dr. Timothy P Madion, MD

he is a great guy and he gets you in and out fast, does a great job, and I feel at ease with him.

was very, very disappointed by his attitude. examination of uterus and ovaries cursory and quick. he decided i was a hypochondriac and probably just had a urinary tract infection and fervent that losing my 100 lbs of overweight would cure most of my present problems. my family's history of 6 close relatives dying of cancer did not result in his recommendation of genetic testing for susceptibility for the BRCA! and BRCA2 genetic mutations. He said there was no test to discover ovarian cancer. But there is, though accuracy in early stage ovarian cancer is only 50% in CA-125 test. a positive result could point to a different type of cancer, but at least it does detect it. at later stages, the test is 80% accurate. I was brushed off because the doctor just saw me as looking for trouble where there was none, even though I have a five year history of pain in ovaries and uterus that is on for 3 months, then off again for same amount of time, and I do have a sudden urgency urinary tract problem as well, that may or may not be related. He sent me packing quickly and did not conceal his impatience with me. I am a 66 year old female with a stent in my right coronary artery for a 95% blockage that went undiagnosed despite numerous EKGs over the years that nearly took my life. So I am hardly a hypochondriac! I deserved that CA-125 test and the genetic testing as well, but didn't get nary a mention about the existence of either. The doctor either doesn't keep up with developments or didn't want to be bothered with me. I was very disappointed!
