Dr. Stephen w Hindes, MD

I'm a type 1 diabetic. In his defense, I should have been going to a specialist the whole time but money was tight and h...e was cheap. He came off very cold. I needed him to fill out some pre-hire forms that cleared me to work for a company that would give me health benefits. I take care of myself and have had it under control for years. Instead of taking some blood work and recording the results on the simple form, he proceeded to lecture me on how I haven't been to the eye doctor in over 6 months (It was 8 months ago and every other doctor requires once a year for diabetics). He also wanted to put me on an aspirin regiment and cholesterol medication without seeing any blood work results. He simply said, "All diabetics should be on these medications." No endocrinologist has ever told me that I needed these medications. I hate doctors who think a pill is the FIRST answer. He then said to me that he didn't feel comfortable filling out the forms I needed because "frankly you don't have your health under control." I was a brand new patient and he didn't no a thing about me. He told me to stop by the in office lab to get my blood drawn. He could tell I was angry and tried to tell me he was on my side. He told me to get blood work in his office and he saw me defiantly walk by it and just let me go. Thinking back, he was also giving me advice for type 2 diabetes which, is a completely different disease. I said multiple times I was type 1 and this just further proved his negligence. What a waste of time and money. more details
