"Very disappointing! Was referred to this doctor for evaluation of lupus nephritis... Disregarded kidney ultrasound results saying that the reader of the test errored in reading it. Refused to repeat "flawed" tests because he claimed I would "just do the same thing again." Unbelievable, insulting, and irresponsible."
