    One of the most distressing healthcare visits I have ever experienced. My husband witnessed the…read moreentire interaction. We became so upset that we left mid-appointment - in tears & physically shaking from the stress it caused. From the point of introduction, I felt like Dr. Akatue was angry with me?? I was immediately shamed based on my lab results. I repeatedly tried to explain my symptoms, but each time I started to speak, I was interrupted & not allowed to finish. Her concerning statements included: "I won't let a patient's own thoughts about their body sway my opinions," "I have time, but I don't really have time for you," and "If you don't fit the algorithm, the tests you're asking for will get rejected." I didn't feel heard, respected, or given an opportunity to participate in my care - contrary to her bio. Immediately afterward, I contacted Redirect Health. A physician listened for 25 minutes without interruption & immediately referred me to an endocrinologist. I wish my experience with Dr. Akatue had reflected that level of compassion & respect. I truly felt abused and discriminated against.

    Love, love my doctor, in a patient/doctor way. He's like a bloodhound, he will stick with you until…read morehe finds what's going on. I started seeing him after I moved here from Florida. For about 14 years I was getting high fevers, my lower legs turning red and hurting, excruciating pain that would take me down for up to 2 weeks. This was happening sometimes twice a month. I had been to numerous doctors, went through dozens of tests. All for nothing. I was told it was all in my head, never could figure out how I could make myself get 105 degree fevers. Anyway, my dear neighbor suggested I go to Dr. Beatty. I was skeptical because I had already been through a lot but I went anyway. Dr. Beatty sat and listened to all my complaints. Gave me a good work up. Than he sent me to one of the best rheumatologist around, Dr. Legrone. He listened to me and read all my past history. You could all of a sudden see a light bulb go off. He jumps up and goes to get one of his medical journals. Right there in black and white was answers to my condition, Familia Mediterranean Fever. A rare disease. Ran tests and sure enough I had it. FINALLY A DIAGNOSIS! I was so happy. People would ask why I was happy being diagnosed with that. I told them I wasn't happy about that but happy about having a diagnosis, I wasn't crazy, I didn't make myself get fevers. I know this is long but I just want everyone to know Dr. Beatty is the best. If he can't figure it out he'll send you to someone that can. Forgot to mention I also have Crohn's disease and thought for a long time it was that causing fevers. Also have fibromyalgia.Thank God I listened to my neighbor. So don't waste another visit with someone else. Dr. Beatty is the best!
