“Dr Sherman did not treat me with...”
Dr Sherman did not treat me with compassion or dignity. I have been experiencing vertigo. When I met with Dr. Sherman, she greeted me and asked me questions about my vertigo. She knew I had previously experienced vertigo in 2012. Offhandedly I said I had "chalked it up to perimenopause" to that statement, Dr. Sherman responded, "that's a stretch!" This insensitive Response derailed the entire visit for me. I felt like my feelings and opinions about my own health were completely discounted and disregarded. This is not how Providence Swedish treat their patients. It is not an alignment with the org's values, especially compassion and dignity. There were so many other more respectful ways Dr. Sherman could have responded.
