Office staff beyond rude! She seemed indifferent, as if I was just another fat person to check off her list
Dr. Ude was very kind, open and honest. She explained everything and did not rush through the process. I would definetely recommend her to anyone in the Portland Metro area!
She was all business and seemed to be in a hurry. She read my test results to me as thought it was my fortune.
Dr. Ude was okay. I only saw her once to review my evaluation test than she referred me to Dr. Nichols in the same building. She didn't seem to be understanding about kids or how life works with them, but I only had to see her twice. Dr. Nicholes was not experienced with RNY, AGB, or DS and told me a story two or three times about a man who got RNY didn't quit eating and streched his stomach out and died. ??? It didn't bother me much what is most annoying is the office person seems confused and has even gotten rude with me for questioning some bills that came for the first time six months after a service was rendered.
Oh well, it's such a small part of the WLS process.
My first impression of Dr. Ude was that she was a bit distant.... but once I had the actual consult after the testing she was a much warmer person.... very supportive, informative and helpful. Her office staff have a hang up about insurance...although they say it is to protect the patient.... I was asked ten times if I was asked once if my insurance covered the testing and visits... they would not believe it was covered and yet did not call for pre-authorization when i tried to give them the number and contact person.... go figure.
I am hoping my paperwork goes to Dr. Friedman in the upcoming weeks. It has been three weeks since my appointment and the paperwork still hasn't arrived at his office.
Her office is now obesity friendly. The location does not have parking other than on the street which could be oveerly far for people with decreased walking ability. To get into her building involves negociating many steps about 1/2 without handrails. This is not good for people seeking bariatric surgery.
