Pearlman Endocrinology

I am just blown away at how bad this doctor and her office are! I have literally never encountered such a degree of incompetence and lack of basic knowledge.
It all began with the office messing up my appointment and then being rude when I called to point it out. Then they entered the wrong medical condition on my medical record stating that I am a Type 2 diabetic when I have been a Type 1 for 20 years. When I pointed out this mistake to the doctor she looked me and said «so what makes you think you are a Type 1?»
My diabetes and health are incredibly well managed through excellent diet (vegan) and daily exercise. My A1c is 5.8, LDL is 64 and every other measure is excellent. She told me I needed to need to raise my A1c!!! WTF? I told her I had changed my diet due to an inability to control my cholesterol levels with statins and I am very allergic statins with them causing extreme muscle wasting and pain. (Within 2 weeks of going vegan my LDL dropped from 185 to 65 without medication!) Despite this she insisted that I would need to go back on statins but literally couldn’t give me a reason why — just crazy! She then went on to insist that vegetables don’t have protein!!! What? This from a «doctor» who specializes in metabolism… This just insane — vegetable get their calories from protein and spinach for example has twice as much protein per calorie as beef! I had heard enough.
As if all that wasn’t bad enough her office sent the wrong prescription in to my mail order pharmacy causing a fiasco to get the correct prescription. And on top of that she billed way more than my insurance company pays, despite my paying a copay at the office and is trying to collect additional funds for providing utterly useless services and potentially dangerous advice.
This doctor should not be in practice and I can only imagine the degree of damage she has inflicted on her less informed patients.
