"was referred by my primary on behalf of my eye doctor to determine if there was any thyroid component to my severe dry eye problems. When Dr. Wilkins came into the room, she seemed annoyed that I was on her schedule and said so but said, oh well, you're here, I guess we'll go ahead. I explained why I had been sent; she was very skeptical but eventually did do an ultrasound and ordered some blood work. I returned to her office as directed 4 weeks later. She came into the exam room and asked if I had received the results of the blood work. I said yes. I got the distinct impression she felt I was just wasting her time by being there. She talked about the results briefly and shooed me out the door. I had something else to discuss but was annoyed so left. Today I called her office to make a new appointment to discuss an issue directly related to her specialty of endocrinology. I got static from the receptionist but I insisted and got an appointment for the next week. so I then received ...
a message from the nurse who wanted to know what questions I had. I explained. She said she'd have to consult the doctor then flat out lied by saying they had no appointments available for some time. Knowing I was going to get the brush off, I made an appointment with another, very highly rated endocrinologist in Summerville (as compared to the really bad reviews I see on her site). I understand he listens and tries to help his patients regardless. So, I finally heard back from the nurse and Surprise! I was told I should see my Primary. Shocker. You know Dr. Wilkins, if you don't love or at least enjoy your job or want to help people, STOP, get out now before somebody gets very sick or dies. I'm not crazy nor am I hypochondriaical. I am a reasonably intelligent individual who was doing what I had been asked to do; you knew that. My questions and the purpose of the additional appointment are clearly related to the practice of endocrinology for which the doctor holds a Board certification. I would have discussed it had I felt comfortable enough or been given a small opportunity to do so at the 4-week followup appointment. In my opinion, Dr. Wilkins flunked bedside manner, sensitivity, and the ability to effectively listen. I am not impressed. Unless you have zero other options, and I do mean zero, avoid this provider. You might do better with the other partner in the practice. "
