Dr. David A Podlecki, MD

Maybe it's time to retire Dave

Visited him for a consult regarding an underactive thyroid he basically said it was my fault because I was just lazy, and tried pushing some weight loss medication on me. We never once discussed my thyroid or the fact that it had been under active for twenty years. Rude and unprofessional. Thought it may have been a fluke- until a family member visited him and expressed concerns with lack of bedside manner or overall care in his health after recently having thyroid removed. I will never return or recommend.

He was not open at all to natural options, wanted to only push prescriptions drugs to mask the problem. And in the end he gave me an, in his terms, "idiopathic" diagnosis. In laymans terms, he didn't know what was causing the problem but he knew how to medicate for it. Thanks, a pharmacist could have done has much!
