Dr. Evan Matthew Rekant, MD

Evan M Rekant, MD provided me with the "Worst" experience I have ever had at this location. I've been suffering from stomach aches, shortness of breath and a headache since Saturday. I went in for help because its been getting worse. Evan M Rekant, MD could not care less about my issues. I've been in the military for 8 years. I work very long hours and at times unpredictable. I worked all day and then went to Sentara after I got off. I have to be up tomorrow at 04, to be at work at 05. I asked for a "no work note" so I could sleep in. Mr Evan M Rekant, MD begins raising his voice at me in front of his coworkers. Basically chastising me about not going to work. He was being obnoxious, loud and rude to me. I was there a couple of days ago for the same problem. It has to be said that if the problem gets worse, they tell you to come back. Thats what I did and for that I got the worst service I have ever gotten in my life from any medical "professional". He kept asking me about my job and… never mentioned my shortness of breath or my stomach pain. I understand the ER is for certain situations but how I was treated to day was abhorrent. Also, military medical is not as good as civilian and I live only 10 min away from this location, so its a lot more convenient. Also, the people are usually very friendly, professional and fast acting. Also, want to point out that military medical at times could take you about a month to get seen for a problem. Even if i go to the ER in portsmouth the wait times are sometimes 2 or more hours to get seen. On top of that they dont usually give "no work notes" because many people lie about things to get out of work. Nevertheless my experience today was very negative. Evan M Rekant definitely has anger issues and I wouldn't trust him as care professional. Other than Evan, this place and people do amazing work.

If my husband or I ever visit a Sentara hospital again and discover that he's one of the ER doctors, we will immediately turn around and either go back home or visit another ER. He doesn't listen, questions what the patient tells him, and has no compassion. He'd rather share his list of hoops he had to jump through to get this or that for the patient which, I might add, doesn't even address the problem that brought the patient to the ER in the first place.
