I went to this doctor for a long time. Unfortunately, I had to switch providers due to insurance and I had to move away and couldn’t keep up with the drive. I have been upset with this doctor st times but
In my heart of hearts, I know she was looking out for my best interest. She stuck by me through some horrible times. We sre both Christians and she prayed for and with me at my request. Though people may question the way she practices medicine , I can assure you she does it from a place of dedication and by researching various options.I decided against pursuing a diagnosis of Dementia at age 54. I took a cognitive test in her office and failed miserably. This of course had the doctor very concerned. After getting a second opinion, I was told that people with high anxiety should never be tested in the way I was. I have been retested by a Neurological Psychiatrist and was within a normal range for my age.
I would recommend that you be very sure and get another opinion before being evaluated like I was. I’m not suggesting it’s wrong, I can say it wasn’t right for me and it affected my mental health negatively. I strongly suggest not ignoring signs of cognitive decline, I’m just stating how I responded to a surprise test and panicked. I honestly didn’t understand the directions on half of the test and ended up guessing. Of course, Dr. DeLaBruare was extremely concerned and followed up with my family as I drive home completely shook up. I believe that my panic disorder and extreme anxiety wasn’t evaluated by a mental health professional before ANY testing was done . I believe in addition, there should have been aa rock solid game plan set up by my primary doctor and mental health professional ahead of time, this would have had an entirely different outcome for me and my quality of life for two months
Th
With all that being said,, I believe Dr. DeLaBruare is a kind, intelligent and approachable person in helping you with your medical needs. She is a person of integrity and takes her time with you. I think the one thing she could do to be an even better physician is to take my situation into consideration when approaching patients with any anxiety:mental health issues as stated above.
Be up front with her and you will have a positive experience, I believe.
