Absolutely worst experience ever with a doctor! My 15-year-old daughter was having wrist pain(only). Our first appointment, he asked us many questions and did a one-minute exam on her wrist and concluded that she had an auto immune disease and needed to see an auto immune doctor. He told her that she has rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 15 with only wrist pain and no other symptoms. I made an appointment with the auto immune doctor, but it was 3 months out. My daughter was having anxiety over this diagnosis, so I asked her pediatrician for advice. The pediatrician immediately ran a full blood panel INCLUDING ALL auto immune and rheumatoid markers. My daughter had a thorough exam as well and the pediatrician said that there is no reason to believe that she has an auto immune disease with perfect bloodwork, perfect exam and only wrist pain.
We went back to our 6 weeks follow up appointment with Dr. Besh and I explained to him the homework that we have done on her health while we waited for auto immune specialist appointment. He was OUTRAGED that we saw her female pediatrician and looked for some answers. He said to my daughter, you have an auto immune disease and by your mom not taking you to the auto immune doctor, your disease will not go away. Broadway (she is a performer) doesn’t care that you have a disease. My daughter started to cry. Dr. Besh then says, why are you crying? She says, because I am scared to have an auto immune disease. Dr. Besh says, crying won’t make it go away. You mother needs to take you to an auto immune doctor. He then says, as he slams the folder on the desk…I cannot help you until you see the auto immune doctor and I would be happy to sign your file to another doctor. While all of this was happening 3 nurses came in the calm/observe his behavior. The staff and nurses are nice, and I could tell that they were appalled at his behavior…at this point, we were both in tears. I could not believe the way we were being treated. Especially a child. It was a horrible, ugly, disrespectful experience that my daughter will never forget.
We went to another wrist specialist who didn’t believe that it was an auto immune disease. He sent us to a neurologist who did a complete nerve and tendon test and confirmed that she had Carpal Tunnel syndrome. She recommends vitamin B6 300mg a day, wrist braces, rest and to set up an ergonomic distance learning desk. With 3 weeks, (after months of pain and many tests, doctor visits) she was feeling much better.
In closing, Dr. Besh treated me and my 15-year-old daughter in the worst manner possible. He did not care for her wellness, pain and refused to listen to her. He was cruel and mean to a child and disrespectful to me who was trying to advocate for my daughter. That is not acceptable behavior for anyone let alone a doctor!! I feel like he let his ego get in the way of doing what’s best for my daughter. We never received an apology.

He figured out what the problem was & making a few (personal habit) changes it’s better & I can prevent reoccurrence.

My experience was frustrating and depressing that made me burst into tears! He seems not concerned how I feel and just want to walk away. He doesn't listen of how you feel. It's a bad experience indeed. Just stayed with me for 1 minute! That's it.
