“I did not care for this physicia...”
I did not care for this physician's demeanor and will not be returning here for care. I scheduled this appointment because I was concerned about my daughter after a recent situation where I caught her in an intimate act with her boyfriend. She is only 12 years old and I wanted her to be able to speak with a provider about any possible activity she did not disclose to me, about being safe, making good choices, reducing risk, etc. My daughter is actively engaged in private therapy, Is registered with CREOKS, and has received assistance from COPES in the past. This provider became immediately judgemental and suspicious and launched into why she was required to report her concerns to DHS for the safety of a minor. When I asked why a report was being made she said my daughter was under the legal age of consent and we needed "to get more eyes on the situation" like my daughter lacked support or I was in some way responsible. She further admitted DHS might show up at my house but she wasn't sure because after she made the report it would be "out of my hands". Yeah, if this is how you treat parents seeking guidance and care for their pre teen children it's a wonder you have any patients at all. All your doctor did was scare me half to death and ensure I will never bring my daughter there again. I made it a point to tell my daughter's CREOKS counselor and her regular therapist about this encounter to get feedback and recommendations for a different provider. At least her therapist tried to explain why a report was necessary. Had your physician displayed more empathy and understanding the whole encounter would have been received differently.
