I had a follow-up appointment at One Medical regarding perimenopause care after previously seeing Dr. Shin Jung Yoon. My appointment was scheduled for 1:00pm; I arrived at 1:01 and was brought back at 1:07. During the visit, I clearly explained the two main reasons I was there and where I hoped to focus. However, much of the appointment was spent revisiting prior lab work, which I was told was not valid due to timing and fasting issues. When asked about the prescribed medication, I shared that it was causing cramping and not providing the intended benefit. Despite this, the recommendation was to continue the same course of treatment with minor adjustments. I expressed that I did not agree and was hoping to discuss alternative options. At approximately 1:32, I was told my appointment time was over and that I could discontinue the medication if I chose, review materials later, and return for another visit. When I shared that I did not feel the visit had been helpful, I was told that I was being “mean,” which I found inappropriate and unprofessional. I left the appointment feeling dismissed, unsupported, and discouraged. Patients seeking care—especially for complex and often frustrating conditions like perimenopause—deserve to feel heard, respected, and partnered with in their treatment decisions.
