Dr. Rensie Chiara Rigor De Vera, MD

St De Vera has been my primary physician for several years. She has always been attentive and thorough. My husband went to one of my visits and now she is his doctor too.

Dr. De Vera never took my concerns seriously, attributing them falsely to anxiety. She did not make an appropriate referral for a specialist consult. Instead, she tried to interpret a specialist report without even reading it, and then referred me haphazardly to three places, two of which did not take me seriously because they were influenced by her lack of belief in what I was saying. I endured a traumatic process of not being believed, which led to worsening of my mental health and a lack of opportunity to have appropriate therapies to help slow down my serious and progressive disease. Finally, I saw a doctor I should have seen six weeks prior, who could see what I had been trying to explain without my even using words. He knew exactly how to direct my care. And after that, I was finally allowed to have another doctor for my primary care. It was a serious trial and I don't wish a similar experience on anyone.
