Ashish Verma, MD

I went to him he does not like women it so obvious. Rude ignorant and don’t like it if you question anything or ask questions would never go back I’d die first before I let him near nor touch me

but office staff needs training in Customer Service, not user friendly

I was sent to Mr. Verma (can't call him a dr., he doesn't deserve that title) as I had been very sick and my. pcp didn't know what was going on. Mr. Verma ordered a batch of hormone labs for me, tested everything except Testosterone (should have done that one too but he didn't). The tests came back showing my thyroid, parathyroid were all good. My Estrogen was less than 10, progesterone less than 0.2 and my FSH was 147.5 (one of the highest my gynecolodist/hormone dr. has ever seen). Mr. Verma said all the labs showed him was that I am in menopause and that he felt I would be ok, and he proceeded to give me the number for a psychiatrist and he said I should be on anti-anxiety meds, he also sent me over to his nutritionist. I left his office and immediately researched for a BioTE dr. in my area. I had to wait 4 weeks to get in to see her....I brought all of the labs Mr. Verma ordered for me, she looked them over prior to coming into the room and when she did, she said "I can tell from… the labs how you must be feeling, you can't feel well at all" Apparently my FSH was one of the highest she's ever seen, I have almost no progesterone in my body and not much estrogen and of course he failed to test the testosterone (my dr. has just tested this one). I would NEVER recommend this "doctor" to anyone.....what a waste of my time, insurance money and another full month of me suffering while waiting to get into see the gynecologist/hormone specialist. Do yourself a favor and find another Endocrinologist.

Over the last 5 years and 3-4 appointments yearly I have seen Dr. Verma once. I insist on making an appointment to be seen by him and then his Physicians Assistant comes in. I am diabetic and the final straw was when she rudely stated that I could go by my diabetic strips at CVS refusing to give me a prescription when my insurance covers diabetic supplies. They cancel appointments routinely. Who has time for this?

I have been a patient of Dr. Verma for many years. He has been a caring physician, honest and upfront with me about my medical condition and treatments.I have needed to reach him on a holiday weekend- and he has been available to answer my urgent concerns. I would recommend him highly, my daughter and I both are his patients and trust his judgement and medical knowledge implicitly.

I saw Dr. Verma about 2 years ago before I moved out of the area and when we returned, I had a good experience with him so, I decided to resume care for my diabetes and my Hashimoto's with him. First of all.. The positive... I give Dr. Verma credit for correcting my insulin protocol and straightening out my blood sugar issue. However, my experience with him is that he is unprofessional, misogynistic, rude and does not seem to like it when a woman tries to stick up for herself. First of all... I spent over 13 years dealing with Synthroid and it did not work for me. What works for me is Natural desiccated thyroid (AKA Armour). I spent years dealing with horrible Hashimoto's symptoms along with other co-morbid conditions including Myalgic Enchephamyleitis AKA Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from a severe post viral infection. I am still sick with ME/CFS which is a very misunderstood, little funded disease that millions suffer from. I was lucky enough to be able to be treated by a TOP specialist… in this disease who passed away in 2015. That being said.. Let me tell you a little about my experience with Dr. Verma. My first visit, he was not having it that I am on Armour. He proceeded to attempt to pull me off a medication which is CLEARLY working for me. Objective labs and the VAST IMPROVEMENT of my symptoms from Hashimotos Autoimmune Thyroid prove this medication works for me. I was on a ridiculously high dose of Synthroid which was not working. My T3 and T4 levels were bad and my TSH levels were so horrific in the 30's and 40's that I was losing hair, sick all the time, gaining weight and it just was not working. No matter how well I stuck to the instructions on how to take Synthroid. It just did not work for me. I tried explaining this to him. He still was not having it. I was also in the exam room with my same sex partner and after I pointed out the CLEAR and VALID reasons for why I did not want to change, he proceeded to say to me " well, there's a practice in Macomb with all women.. why don't you go there". I was stunned. Was this a misogynistic remark because he didn't like a woman challenging him or if it was directed at me and my partner? I gave him a second chance and went back for my appointment 2 weeks later. What occurred at this visit was abhorrent, unprofessional, arrogant, rude and UNACCEPTABLE! Then he brought up the Armour issue yet again...First off, he again started PUSHING Synthroid on me again. Again, he was rude, had no real valid reason why I should change a medication PROVEN to work for me, started to also make up unsubstantiated claims about Armour & flat out lied. Then he proceeded to disparage my former doctor (who is deceased) who was a well respected, published and beloved physician to the ME/CFS community. He also said that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME is a "racket and a scam". I asked him several times to "Please stop speaking about my former doctor like this". He also stated that Hashimoto's and it's symptoms that we suffer from is "NOTHING" By this time, it is clear that Dr. Verma and I could not have any sort of patient/doctor relationship. He again attempted to pull me off Armour by asking me to take yet another thyroid medication and accused me of lying about the fact Synthroid does not work for me. My body does not absorb it. I was up to 475 mcg of Synthroid. This is an UNGODLY amount of Synthroid. There are people who have had their thyroid removed who don't require this dosage. He tried to tell me (another lie) that there are only 40 people in the entire world who do not respond to Synthroid. He left the room to get samples of this other thyroid medication. Upon his return he again began disparaging my former doctor. ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH. I gave him his samples back and said to him "We are DONE here" and I left his office. I have NEVER in my 45 years on this earth have experienced what I experienced with this doctor. This doctor is clearly getting some sort of incentive for prescribing Synthroid or is just an arrogant, misogynist, unprofessional excuse for a doctor.

Dr. Verma is the best! He cares about his patients more than any doctor I've been to. Very good man. I would recommend seeing him!

Dr. Verma is a very kind and patient man. He listens to your concerns without rushing you out of the exam room. If any issue(s) arise he will address it promptly.

Rochester Endocrinology & Diabetes Center is a joke and the staff are absolutely the worst I have encountered at both the Sterling Heights office and Rochester location. They are rude, condescending, lazy and incompetent. They bill insurance companies WRONG and have no desire at all to help you. This facility is not worth your time, I highly advise you to go somewhere else!!!

been with this doctor a long time and he does not care about his patients.
