Hi all,
I finally decided to try Dr. Heer for my embedded UTI. The receptionist on the phone convinced me to work with Kelley Logan (Dr Heers NP). I’m not too happy with the treatment so far as I feel like there is not a good bedside manner and I’ve had other health issues unrelated to the UTIs that I think I would feel more comfortable with a doctor that’s had a lot more experience in prescribing medication and treating patients.
I originally got a bad reaction to amoxicillin-Clauvanate she prescribed, I got very concerning side pains and initially she shrugged it off when I told her and said “that’s not a symptom of it, you should keep taking it”. The pain ended up spreading so I decided to stop the antibiotic and see if the pan went away, which it did. I ended up doing bladder instillations with my local urologist in the meantime with gentamicin, heparin, steroids and lidocaine to avoid gut issues as I think that’s where the pain was coming from. I got an ultrasound with my PCP and they didn’t find anything concerning.
In the meantime I did the bloodwork to get checked for fibrin levels and looks like they were high. She ended up telling me that due to my bloodwork I will need to be on “Bolouke” supplements for the rest of my life. I found that alarming to just send through as a message. I did some research to find out it’s a blood thinner and is not an easy supplement to deal with, and on top of that it’s not FDA approved and there is not a lot of research on it with not much medical backing for life long use. So confidently saying I need to be on this for the rest of my life for a product that we don’t even know is safe set off a red flag for me and when I questioned it she just sent me some word doc files where it looks like someone just decided to type of some instructions on how to take it. No evidence of it being reputable or okay. She ended all of this with “trust the process”.
Should I reach out to the doctors office and see if I can get switched to Dr Heer? I’d rather wait for an opening than deal with someone i don’t feel that I trust their judgement and doesn’t really listen to me. If anyone has had instances with this NP, please share your thoughts. Thank you!
