Everything goes great until I go to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription and for my insulin Lantis I find out they give me a pen, I called several times to change it to other method but nobody responds. Nobody cares and I was out of medication for five days. Finally, I pay for one pen and I have it for four days but it's still my medication is not yet filled correctly. Nobody called me. Nobody follow up with me each time. I talk to the nurse, they said oh we will do it right now, but never happen. I call over 10 times to the office and pharmacy back-and-forth and nobody care. I'm so tired of this.

My problem is what we believe to be neuropathy. I asked if light or electric impulse treatments should be considered. He said Emory doesn't do either of those and he had no opinion on them. I was surprised. He prescribed a nerve conduction study. Unfortunately Emory can't schedule it till March 2027, 11 months out. So I'm going outside of Emory.

Everything was shared or provided in a conversational tone rather than a "professional" one. I felt I was being understood more than "assessed." and, certainly, more coached than dictated to regarding things I could or should do to improve if not sustain my good health condition.

Overall, it was fine, and I'm sharing these comments solely with the intention of helping improve the service even more. Since it was an annual check-up, I would have appreciated a bit more time and attention. The exam lasted less than fifteen minutes, and at least from my perspective, there was no follow-up on the diagnoses I had received the previous year. Honestly, I felt that the doctor was simply following a protocol, but I didn't feel that he was truly engaged with me.

Doctor spends <2 min with me every time I come in, never reads the charts. Makes comments on blood work suggesting things he previously did and we spoke about and took alternative options, and ignores progress being made making incorrect recommendations (i.e. I have been taking 2000 IU of Vitamin D for 18 months, per his recommendation at the 2023 appointment, numbers went up in 2024, down in 2025. He said "you need to start taking Vit D"). He completely ignored the charts and information that I had already been taking it. I had to reply back, remind him to read the chart and then he came back and recommended taking 4000 IU
