Good experience
Feb 23, 2026
In my past with other health systems I had become very wary of doctors due to their not believing what I said I was experiencing likely related to a brain tumor I have. They said to reduce stress, so I did. I ended doctor appointments. None of the things I was experiencing ended, but the stress did. I just learned to live with hearing my pulse, etc.New symptoms have started and I feel they should be looked at, but my mind got stressed again just thinking of previous appointments. Dr Hemminger's name was shared as really worth trying, so I did. The experience was totally different. She not only believes me, she cares, and agrees it needs to be checked into and feels there are options for things I gave up on. It gives me hope, makes me feel like I'm not just a burden or number, and lets me be confident in the future plans even if the testing results aren't good. Had it been the same as before, that appointment would have been my last and que sera, sera. Quite honestly, with my previous appointments elsewhere I almost chose to just end my life, but I'm glad I didn't and just ended the doctor appointments. Thank you UR for employing a terrific doctor and entire team. If she'll stay, consider keeping resident Dr. Staub too
