The construction in the out-patient center needs to have better directions for access and the check-in desk only had a single person and there were several people waiting. The patient ahead of me took over 15 minutes to check-in because he was new and a referral from another facility.

Dr. Kanuru listened very closely to everything I had to say. She prescribed me medication that she thought would be the best thing for me. She printed out the material regarding the diagnosis that she'd given me. Not only the diagnosis but she printed out the medication as well. I'd like her. She was a very good rheumatologist.

I did not feel that my provider listened to my health concerns adequately. I felt that my problems were diminished, as I was told by my provider multiple times that it was possible there was nothing wrong. I did not feel that anything my provider did warranted the trip I made to the office; I was given a verbal questionnaire that was lengthy, yet standard, and much of which I had answered through the patient portal ahead of time. Other than this, the only thing my provider did was review the test results I brought and order a few blood tests, many of which she only chose to complete after I asked her repeatedly what my test options were. I asked for scans several times and was denied; while I understand that she did not believe scans were necessary, I reiterated that I still wished to undergo scans just in case, and because I live over three hours away and wished to decrease my trips to Little Rock as much as possible. Again, I was refused the scans I requested. She told me that I did seem to meet the criteria for fibromyalgia, based on a short series of questions she asked at the end of our visit. When I pointed out that several of the questions she asked were related to cognitive function and that there was a lot of overlap between the cognitive issues related to [PHI](for which I have a diagnosis), she told me that I was correct about this, and that due to the overlap, she did not wish to diagnose me with [PHI] at this point. While I appreciate that she chose not to rush to a diagnosis, I wish that she had made more of an effort to work towards another diagnostic conclusion. Though I've had many tests and scans done at other institutions that have come back normal, I have always appreciated my other doctors' efforts to do everything possible to help in my diagnosis, just in case either of us is incorrect in assuming that the issues are minor. This provider did no such thing. As mentioned earlier, I did not feel listened to, and I felt that my experiences were diminished. The intern working with my provider noticed my distress after the appointment and checked in to make sure I was okay, which I appreciated.

My doctor allows me to ask questions and to express any concerns I have about my health issues. She's very kind and very patient. I like how she takes her time to explain things to me.
