Dr. Brandon Joseph Lynch, MD

Lynch has no good "bedside manner" whatsoever. I having been to Craig Mather for 30-plus years, Lynch needs to take some lessons from the master. Lynch is more suited to be an administrator. Does he understand how, having met him for only the 2nd time (1st time he was equally non-demonstrative of any feelings which precipitated my reticence to even return), that he might want to listen empathetically to the story of my breast cancer (Craig guided me through it so beautifully), 2 sisters dying in their 40's of pneumonia when they were otherwise healthy, and why I would be stressed as to my own health and why I am afraid of tests (of any type--sorry, medical profession) b/c I experienced THREE false positives during that ordeal. Has he experienced breast cancer, or any cancer, and know what its like? I suppose not. I just needed someone to listen to me. I thought that this is what doctors do. He just stared at me blankly. My story meant nothing to him. I am now doctor shopping. Susan… Lloyd, author, filmmaker, and owner of Antiquarium Books and Antiques.

after 10 day's of coughing so hard it felt like I had broken ribs I saw Dr. Lynch for the first time (he took over my doctors practice). He was insistent that he wanted me to wait another 1-3 weeks and see if I got better because he doesn't like prescribing meds except as a last resort. I explained that I hadn't slept more than a few hours a day and hurt all over but he still did not want to prescribe any meds. I am 72 years old and in pretty darn good health; I may see the doctor once a year, and I don't take medicine lightly. After insisting that I needed something to relieve the cough and allow me to sleep he relented. I have since found a more compassionate Dr.
