I was referred to the Doctor through the VA choice program and my obgyn. I am pregnant and my ob wanted my Grave's disease monitored during my pregnancy as I have had recent miscarriages and he wanted to ensure my thyroid was in check to ensure the health of my baby.

I arrived early, but wasn't given any paperwork until after my appointment time. I didn't see the doctor until nearly 90 minutes after my appointment time. All regular medical office annoyances and issues, but in this case, the best part of the visit.

The doctor came in, didn't introduce himself or bother to acknowledge the 90 minute wait. When I explained the reason for the referral and the round about way it was associated with my ob, the doctor made a disrespectful "laugh" and shook his head saying "they should be treating you, they should be treating you". I presume he was referring to the VA and not the ob and stated they are, they referred me to you because they do not have any reasonably available appointments to monitor me during my pregnancy.

He than began his interrogation. I told him I did know the names of the different doctors i have seen for the thyroid issue or the name of the doctor who diagnosed me. He got upset that I wasn't on medication for it. I told him that I wasn't and it was a decision made between me, my pcp, my psychiatrist, and the endocrinologist. I get my thyroid levels tested annually and if anything is of concern, i retest and see the endrocrongist department. He again demanded "his" name. I reminded him in a curt voice I had already told him i didn't know the names.

He raised his voice and mocked me. Than told ME that if I raised my voice again "we will have a problem ".

Too late, problem already had. He was upset he didn't have dr names or the blood work from years ago. He told raiaed his voice and talked over me to advise me these where standard questions and needed for my treatment.

No, they are not. If he needed blood work than he can order it. If he needed the dr names (which not sure why NEEDED or makes a difference. They moved to different facilities by now. All questions should be directed to the VA endrocrongist department in general and if so integral in my treatment, should have been on the paperwork i filled out and requested prior to accepting the referral from the Choice Program.

He is an arrogant and disrespectful person. And incompetent based on his inability to order labs or otherwise function with "names". I have seen several specialist via the Choice Program and he is the only one who needed the diagnosing dr name in order to treat me.

I had called his office once I was advised an appointment was made to verify the appointment, address and to ask if I needed any bloodwork done prior to the appointment. I was advised that "if the dr needs labs he will order them AT your appointment ". I could have been advised I needed to provide labs I had related to this.

The VA sent what they deemed the pertinent information, if it wasn't enough, he had over a month to request additional information and if the VA wasn't cooperating, he could have refused the referral.

He is an example of government waste. He will most likely get paid tax payer dollars for rendering no medical services and being rude and disrespectful. I still need to see an endocrinologist.

I was reading a review on the vitals website and the lady stated that Doctor Damiani prescribed Armour Thyroid, this is not true
I saw him in 2014, as did she and Damiani said he would not and did not prescribe Armour Thyroid.

The long wait time at Damiani's office is caused by the office workers who are always busy writing fake reviews for this Osteopath.

It was a complete waste of time to drive to his office them I had to wait for hours in a crowded waiting room, then when I do see him he tells me he can't help me, unless I agree to take a medication which could kill me. What a jerk!

He insisted that I take a medication which would have killed me. He is a quack!

Submitted Jan. 28, 2018

He refused to help me because I was not willing to take a medication he prescribed which would have caused me to have a heart attack. His lack of openmindedness regarding alternative treatments stems from his insecurity. He is not a medical doctor, He is an osteopath.
