    Dr. Schievink said if blood patch didn't work to just contact my local headache specialist. I did not come to cedars for a headache. I came because of my inability to go upright without throwing up, passing out, severe vertigo, numbness in hand, and vision problems. I think the doctor minimized the symptoms and did not show concern for any of these symptoms. The doctor admitted that the scans have less than a 20 percent chance of finding a CSF leak but said he did not see any CSF leak so would not perform any further treatment.

    Felt that it was rushed and did not help me feel at ease about my condition. I was hoping for more concrete resolution and felt like I continue to be in my year long search for answers

    20 min office visit is not enough time to discuss/review imaging, possible solutions, or other issues/recommendations. Really need an hour for this.

    Dr. Shievink and his NP at one point laughed at a serious question I asked. They made it very clear through their actions that they had no interest in treating me or really listening to my questions. I had been warned by another patient about just this behavior. My visit could have easily been a telehealth visit since they did not touch me. I could have been spared hours of travel time to and from LA and the cost of gas and traffic (not to mention the cost of my limited energy levels).

    I felt no compassion for the situation I have been in for the last 9 months! I have been in so much pain and thought Cedars-Sinai was going to find out what the problem was! But saw nothing on the test so therefore can't help you! So bye bye! Oh here's a cloth device wear it and see if that helps, and call me in a week and let me know how that went! Tried to call many times, but again no one returns your calls!

    Seems like a nice guy. But he did not offer any solutions and I wasn't able to explain or tell him about my symptoms before he left the room. He backtracked and contradicted himself multiple times when it came to my care and I left feeling more confused then going in. There's no place for medical gaslighting at the best hospital. How can you care for a patient with out allowing them the space to speak?
