1 /5 Tara: Ive never met a more dismissive, irresponsible doctor in my life. I saw Dr. Filiberto recently for an issue with my throat. Despite my insistence on the location of the trouble, he insisted it was my thyroid and sent me for imaging of ONLY my thyroid. I told him it wasnt as low as that, and that I felt persistent pain higher up. He basically mocked me in his office. Without ordering bloodwork, told me to take Synthroid. I sought a second opinion and had the correct area scanned. It turns out I have a 3.5 mm growth in the spot where he refused to look. Not only is this BAD medical practice, its BAD science. Why not send me for a scan where I am pointing to and complaining just to rule it out? I found out that I may have lymphoma. If I had listened to him, we never would have found this mass in my neck and I would unnecessarily be taking a synthetic hormone (again WITHOUT checking my existing hormone levels).
