Dr. Renee Rinaldi-Ballard, MD

I chose this doctor because she was on a list of vasculitis specialists. I was actively having stroke symptoms along with a swollen artery, jaw claudication, joint pain and stiffness and fevers. I sent this doctor all labs and images before our first appointment. At the appt she asked rapid fire questions and interrupted when I tried to answer. She told me to send her the labs and images and the names of the other doctors I had already sent her and hung up on me without hearing all my symptoms. Two months later I got a call for a 2nd appt. She was 2.5 hours late because she was just now looking at the records and looked up my medical record without consent. She lectured me about all the Drs Id already seen and neg labs that I already told her about. She said I couldnt have the problem I did because theres no image showing the problem. I reminded her again there was. When I tried to ask questions she repeatedly yelled my name and that she didnt want to work with me.
