Family Medicine practitioners - Kennett, MO

"I waited in her office for a few minutes. The place smelled so strong or Lysol it about made me sick and there was no air movement. Her intake nurse was good. When dr alt got in there she DID NOT LISTEN TO ME. She cut me off, said I needed weight loss surgery and an entire lot of things. Her furniture was extremely uncomfortable and she looked like she was just off the farm from milking cows. Her hands were filthy. Everything about that first appt was horrifying."

"Went in for first appointment with Dr. Lockhart. I have to confess that when I made my appointment it was to get away from the VA. I was wanting medication for restless leg syndrome because the VA had stopped the medication i was on.... that was the reason I originally wanted an appointment for, but since then I have developed a throat issue with loss of voice and I wanted to be seen for my throat. But.... because of my original reason of restless leg I am now grouped as a drug addict in this Dr's view. She explained the medication that I had previously been prescribed as addictive and told me I needed to see someone for mental counseling. Then she told me that my throat was probably because of withdrawal from the previous medication. Let me make this very CLEAR. I have not been on that medication for months. I finally got tired of being told how bad a person I was and told her I was done and left. Let me finish with this . I retired from the military with 36 years of service and the military is who prescribed the "addictive " medication initially. I was the trusted source for my command and held a pentagon appointment prior to retirement. And senior enlisted for my command.I don't think I am that bad of a person. And my monthly drug screening never indicated I was on a dangerous medication or I wouldn't have been allowed to take it."
