Dr. Juhi Shukla, DO

she is terrible

This was the worse experience of my life at my appointment today. I left the appointment and had a nervous breakdown. My appointment started by being told I was NOT allowed to speak about an other concerns since I was in schedule as an annual appointment. I have been suffering from severe menstrual symptoms to the point it is affecting my daily life in a great matter. I attempted to express how I was feeling and was told I would need to schedule another appointment. As the doctor began to overlook my information she started at asking if I needed to be tested for STDs since one of symptoms related to STDs. I said no and that I have been with my husband for years now and we are both clean. She than stated that since I just got married, the stress was probably making the pain occur. The doctor than got to my BMI and began to preach about my weight and asked why I wasn't working out or eating right. I informed her that in the last year i lost 100 pounds like it was nothing and now am… putting weight on like its nothing. Well she completely ignored that information and tell me about heart disease. I stopped her and said "you aren't understanding why I'm here today....I don't feel good and haven't been for a few months". She than asked me what I meant by "I don't feel good". I attempted to explain all of my symptoms (for the third time) and she said "I see you are on a depression medication...are you sure this isn't just mental health." I asked her what mental illness would make me bleed so heavily I have to use adult diapers during my period....she did not answer. She asked if it was painful to have sex and I told her every much so....she than began my explain and it was so aggressive that I am still bleeding and my appointment was 12 hours ago. She than canceled my birth control to give me one she thought would be great and told me to see her in three months. She referred me for an ultrasound and was told she will discuss the results with me when she sees me again (so three months from now). Mind you.....everyday I am struggling with pain all over.....hormones are all crazy. ..swelling...(every female in my family on my mom and dad's side have endometriosis and this is the age the begin having symptoms). She told me that the ultrasound really wont show anything but I should still get it. She ended the meeting stating "pick up your script for the ultrasound and lose weight". I am absolutely traumatized. I now lay in bed in severe pain from the exam I was given. I would not even want my worse enemy to be see by this doctor.
