Dr. Ricki Mitchell, MD

Wish I Could Turn Back Time! I saw Dr. Ricki for a hormonal issue and after her prescription I lost an enormous amount of hair. I was told AFTER the fact that HRT is associated with a risk of hair loss and that she would never have prescribed the oral hormone if she knew hair loss was an issue....... Um, it was in my chart and I mentioned it upon consultation. Ugh- nightmare. I was feeling fantastic and my hair was doing great up until that regretful appt which ran late and felt rushed to begin with. My body is still out of whack over 30 days later and frankly, I’m not sure when I’ll ever get back to normal. It will be a good 6 months or more to see my old hair density. She was desperately late to the party with the hair loss disclosure.

Do not walk. Run, if you can, to Dr. Ricki. I have had a very tough time getting to a diagnosis and was in arguably peak health before I limped in. I'm well-researched in trying to figure my illness out, and she surprises me every time with her knowledge. Moreover, she's truly a compassionate doctor. I've been to endless Drs., in all specialties. I would have given up 12 months ago, 14 months after becoming rapidly ill. Whenever I have a question or doubt, I return back. Staff is amazing.

I have fibromyalgia and was told by dr Mitchell that I wasn't sick enough to treat.
