Svendsen, Pamela J, MD

Like other reviewers, I had the same experience when I had dr Svendson for my PCM. First, she was incredibly insensitive and very obviously judgemental about a lot of things I won't mention here. She wouldn't take any of my health problems seriously (which all existed before I gained weight... And were the REASON I gained weight. Every time I spoke with her about my very real and serious issues, she would tell me that if I lost weight they would all go away an I should come to her weight loss /health spa.." Oh but your insurance won't pay for it, so it will be out of pocket, but well worth it." If I had the problems before I gained weight- chances are if I actually try to remedy the problems, themselves, I could be more active and healthy. I am sure she's more concerned about her health spa than being an actual medical doctor.

Very rude and terrible bedside manner. Seems to be more concerned with her medical spa then with her actual medical patients.

Received hundreds of dollars of surprise charges and when she is questioned, her bedside manner turns ugly. Dr. Burnett and Dr. Pandolfi are my choices.
