Dr. Luciana De Saibro, MD

I wasn't ever able to get an appointment with my regular Neurologist (same facility, different offices) so I went to see her. Worst appointment of my life.  Upon meeting she asked why we're in her office and not my regular doctor.  So, we (my wife and I) told her.  I have special needs where I feel more comfortable with women (I was abused severely by men, and I also suffer from Agoraphobia because bad stuff always happens when you leave your room).  She yelled more, called me a reverse sexist.  Then turned her back on me.  I told her; I'm not a sexist, it my preference after suffering years of abuse.  So, she was like; "oh okay, that's a good way of putting it".  I don't know if that was yet another jab or what. Then she claimed I couldn't see different doctors because the insurance doesn't allow it.  Hello, I was seeking a new doctor because I could never get a hold of his office (I was seeing a male doctor, some sexist huh?).  It's my right as a citizen to see what ever doctor I… want and feel comfortable with. believe she needs more training. Obviously she asked question that had nothing to do with the appointment. She isn't supposed to ask personal questions involving someone other than the patient. She should also take sensitivity, and non discrimination training! She's inappropriate, mean and let her position known. She kept teying to make me leave the appointment too. Then she proceeded to tell me I don't have M.S. which was diagnosed years ago.  She came to this conclusion based off of just one mri.  Anyone knows it takes more than that.  My lesions shrunk, so she thinks it's something else.  She asked what tests I had in the past, I told her she scoffed and said, oh okay.  She NEVER asked me my symptoms. During the appointment I told her she was mean, made feel uncomfortable and dumb.  She asked why, so I told her without hesitation.  You're yelling at me, very loud, and keep interrupting me. She criticized that, and yelled out that I could leave and not continue the appointment (I should have).  I started to cry and maybe it hit a tiny compassionate spot in her heart.  She calmed a bit but at first it seemed really forced. I'm not a rude person so I stuck out the whole appointment.  I didn't want it to be a waste of time.  My wife was with me and helps me out to my amnesia at appointments.  She and her assistant really didn't like us.  You know how you can really tell by the eye rolls and disgusted looks on their faces, when they found out we are married. She asked my wife (before she knew who she was), what our relationship is, if she works, etc. That's NONE of her business, and she shouldn't ask those kind of questions. I was the patient. She wants me to redo all the tests to prove to her I really have M.S.  like me and my medical records are lying.  So, she wants me to do botox, gave me a headache med to try during flares (I told her they're not flares, it's a constant pain with big spikes), and redo all of the painful and dangerous tests, again. Without her advice, I will be looking for a compassionate, empathetic and caring doctor.  I live kind of between states and 2 hours away from the next city that has Neurologist,  but I WON'T EVER go back to that Neurologists facility. Never judge a book by its cover, she looked nice in her pictures and maybe someone I could trust.  She really gave me the WORST day, and I really don't trust people anyway.  It took me years to work up the courage to try another doctor.  These doctors...why become a doctor if you're just going to call your clients liars, treat them like they're hypochondriac, and call them names?  She shouldn't be in medicine.
