Lakewood Health System

.

She is insightful, she makes it a point to make you feel cared for. She knows what she is doing and offers suggestions on how you can have a better health. The staff usually answer my questions and if i want to see the doctor they are quick to get me in. Just like other places, sometimes they can't get me in. The office environment is clean and clear, white and cheerful. They know my name and can usually go to the computer and know what i need immediately, that makes me feel good. The doctor is very caring and doesn't take anything for granted. They are very helpful on price, we have limited income.

I had been vomiting non stop for a few months and after testing found the reason and I recently had surgery that fixed the problem

The staff at Lakewood Health System is always very accommodating and friendly. I went into labor with my twins a month early, and my regular doctor was out of state. The doctors on staff immediately made me feel comfortable and let me know that they had spoken with my doctor and gone over the course of treatment with him. The nurses in the obstetrics department are incredible, and did everything they could to make my experience as comfortable as possible. My only complaint in the entire process was that the anesthesiologist took about 15 minutes to get my spinal anesthesia completed. She said was using a smaller needle to ensure I wouldn't have bad effects afterward , but it seemed to take forever, and she had to stick me 5-8 times. The two doctors performing the surgery seemed to get along well and kept the mood lighthearted. They chatted with my husband and I while they were operating and truly put us at ease. They tried to keep my scars as small as possible, which I appreciated! During my hospital stay, each of them checked in on me multiple times, as well as my regular doctor. The patient care they provide is definitely the best in our area.

Very good and concerned about my issues.

He put me on Amlodipine. What I find out it is a calcium blocker. If you know any thing about celiac disease it is a fight to absorb enough nutrition. I find it cruel to think he would want to block calcium from a 30 year old women. I took one pill in the morning and by five that evening my throat began to swell I began to feel ill. The next five days I was in bed with the worse allergic reaction I have ever have. He shut down my digestive system, caused me to have a migraine for five days, my legs were bruised, I had hives all over, I couldn't lift my arms for two days without pain and the list goes on. I looked up today what was in the pills and found several fillers "THEY" no longer used. Microcrystalline cellulose, I guess is from wood? Dibasic calcium, phoshate anhydrous, sodium starch glycolate and magnesium stearate, when I searched them CORN AND CEREAL GRAINS came up. I will be calling the manufacturer on Monday and then the clinic. So either he didn't believe me or he didn't care. I don't know what is worse for a doctor. Find a good one and don't put your life in this guys hands.
