Karissa N. Arca, MD

Probably the worst experience I’ve ever experienced in my life. This doctor has no clue what she is doing and definitely isn’t fit to be a doctor. I get that not every doctor is perfect but this one told me autonomically that nothing was wrong with me. When I begged her to reconsider and to look at my labs, symptoms and tests again she refused. First of all I’m a nurse myself and am very aware when something is definitely not right with my body but to have symptoms, vitals, and labs to back up my claim to only be denied in being treated and heard is unacceptable. I have sympathetic nerve damage to my cardiac/pulmonary plexus. How do I know this? I had to research and diagnose myself. I had to be my own advocate and seek out doctors who would actually listen and take the time to put the puzzle together. This doctor will NOT do that. I have attached lab work, done at Mayo mind you, that very clearly paints a picture of a HF patient. The cardiology department wouldn’t see me because they… said low bp and high hr is the autonomic departments issue and the autonomic doctor ignored what is clearly in front of her and said nothing is wrong.

She is helping me with my rare debilitating illness. She is amazing!!

I love this Dr. She listens to me and provides me with solutions suited best for me. Best thing is that in her care, I finally have relief for a very painful and dibillutating condition. I actually love her when I don’t trust most.
