My daughter has relocated to Los Angeles, and after my hounding request for her to find a trusting physician, she delayed the dreaded search. After the umpteenth call ( a three hour time difference most were middle of the night calls causing my heart to skip a beat) from her asking me ( WebMD) to diagnosis her abdominal pain, it was time for this Mother Bear to put on her research hat and find a doc. Within our immediate family, there is a history of a severe gastrointestinal disease, and I have always held my breath when any of my kids complain of abdominal pain. While I feel I know the best of the best doctors in our hometown and surrounding regions of the Midwest, on the West Coast I was swimming in uncharted waters. I made a few calls to our doctor friends, but no one had any recommendations. So, after reading reviews and searching educational /medical backgrounds, Dr. Treyzon continually came up with all positives. So, I took a stab in the dark and called to schedule an appointment. BINGO, I hit the lottery with this one!!!! Dr. Treyzon was more thorough than any doctor we had ever encountered. He did not treat her like a number, but as if she was his on ly patient. Blood work detected an unknown infection not related to anything intestinal. He immediately called her himself with her results, gave her some suggestions for treatment and a referral for a doctor who specialized in that issue. Here’s what is most impressive, Dr. Treyzon did not just pass her off to the next guy BUT ordered another test that found the culprit causing the infection. He then ordered the appropriate antibiotic to treat the infection. Unfortunately, several days into taking the antibiotic she had a relatively unusual allergic reaction. On a Saturday, she calls his office leaves a message and he personally (almost immediately) returned her call from a conference he was attending out of town. He conferred with two other doctors at this conference to confirm that his plan for treatment was the best course of action. THEN, the very next day he texted to check to see if she was improving. Trust me when I say, I have worked with many doctors over the years for myself and ailing family members with severe health issues. In my time, I have encountered and have some wonderfully talented physicians to assist in our health care. But, the personal attention and focus that Dr. Treyzon has provided to my “little girl” (although an adult always my “little girl”) was unspeakably the most remarkable display of human kindness/concern we have ever had a physician display. If there are classes on physician/patient interactions, Dr. Treyzon should be that role model for such a course. Probably should be teaching such a class, but let us not lose him to the academic world. Although I have not personally met Dr. Treyzon, I get a full report (because I ask my daughter 110 questions, with eye rolls I can feel through the phone) from my daughter. Dr. Treyzon, I give you a 100% for exceptional patient care and treatment. From a worrying mother, thank you for taking such concern and great care of her.
