Teri Brentnall Md's Online Review Report Card

I later found that I had a colon condition that required surgery. Unfortunately I was given no help in discerning this at her office. Instead I was put on a FODMAP diet that cut out half of the foods I could eat; this helped some with the pain symptoms but did nothing to alleviate the cause. What I remember most vividly was that I broke down in tears during the appointment and she turned pale like she'd never seen anyone cry before and then left the room in a hurry without me knowing my appointment was over or not. Also unfortunately I developed a chronic pain condition after years and years of not getting diagnosed going to providers like her, who are more of robots than people who can think for themselves and investigate what may be your actual problem.

If I could give the UW GI department a 0 stars I would. I’ve been waiting for over 3months for a GI appointment for issues that I’ve had since summer. I’ve been referred twice by my doctor and not once have I been contacted or updated on my status. Instead I have to wait 30minutes for someone to say it’s still under review. I have great insurance and can go anywhere for treatment but thought UW was the best. Thanks You UW for showing me just how mistaken I was. If I had cancer it’s be too late to do a damn thing about just because y’all are incapable of doing paperwork, scheduling appointments and just managing your department. As professional program manager I can tell you that I can do a better job with my eyes closed. One last thing patients paying for parking for treatment is outrageous and shouldn’t be something someone has to worry about when trying to receive medical treatment.

My UW primary care physician referred me to gastroenterology due to severe acid reflux. Per the instructions in my aftercare summary, I phoned gastroenterology for an appointment. I was told that I couldn’t make an appointment until my case was “reviewed.” I was assured that they would call me back. They didn’t. A month went by and I called UW scheduling. After over half an hour, I was told that they could schedule an appointment for 2021, which would be a three month wait. I have already been in extreme pain for a few months, I waited a month for them to call me back after conducting a “review” (they didn’t), and now I have to wait in pain for three more months? Wow!

Took forever to get appointment which isnt cool when patients are awaiting for extremely important results regarding their health

Kindra is fantastic! I would recommend her to anyone!

Very cruel unpleasant woman, more senior abuse than health care!

For the folks here with the good reviews can you be more specific about what your good experiences were or with . I,ve had multiple encounters with digestive health. I have never been impressed. scheduleRs are in dire need of training. I have showed up for procedures when my medication list was not reviewed, the Dr was not knowledgeable on my history of illness, it turned out I didn't react well to the anesthesia given. After I woke I asked was my anesthesia meds from a few months prior reviewed I received a shoulder shrug. (this was scary) . I have walked away from a procedure room because when I showed up the nurse had not been updated and what procedure the Dr ordered.(that's after I confirmed with the clinic days before)😤😤. They were about to perform a procedure on me that my Dr didn't order or I never agreed too. Personnel and office training is missing. Alot of employees at UWMC do not feel accountable to no one. I HOPING FROM A RESPONSE FROM MANAGEMENT.

So far my care here has been excellent.

UW has not once disappointed me with their medical services. I'm tremendously impressed.

Dr. Brentnall is a fantastic physician. She was able to solve my complex problems that other GI doctors had missed. I recommend her highly.
