Today at my physical exam, I asked for my usual 6 month Vitamin D level test and Dr. Andrea LaRosa flat out refused to have it tested. I have had an ongoing issue with my Vitamin D levels and need them checked every 6 months to know how much to supplement to keep them up at the right level. I have never had a problem having it tested for years with my original doctor, Dr. Mary Jenkins, but sadly she retired and Dr. LaRosa took over. In fact, at my very first visit with her as my new doctor last year, Dr. LaRosa argued with me that it is not necessary to test D levels more than once a year and basically had no experience with patients who have to supplement in higher doses to keep their levels up. Instead of learning about her new patients and their individual needs, she decided that being argumentative and condescending is a better way to go. I was hoping that her being a DO, vs. MD, would have a more holistic approach but unfortunately she does not. In fact, she was quick to want to push prescriptions.
