Stacy Rivara, FNP-BC

Twice now she’s seen me for what I now know is a very serious neurological condition. Both times she gaslit me, and did not believe me. I understand that ppl come in looking for drugs but I told her not to give me anything. Just do the tests. I couldn’t move my muscles but I could feel my body. She took a huge needle and stabbed me multiple times in both feet and hands AFTER I SAID I COULD FEEL drawing blood to “test my pain”. She then lied and said she had given me medications (she didn’t) and told me she would have to intubate me because I couldn’t move, (stupidly false). After a few hours I could finally move again, no thanks to her, and she wrote on my note that I needed antipsychotics to move again and told me to go to therapy (which I’m in and very forthcoming about). I actually have an autoimmune condition where my body fights my nervous system, like MS. She could have ordered tests to catch it TWICE and failed TWICE. Terrible practice of medicine. Get some compassion.

She saw me in the ER. Her attitude was condescending and snippy. She was an extremely poor listener and made incorrect statements in my ER documentation regarding my history. She made me feel as though my reason for coming to the ER was not an emergency and was insignificant. Had I not been in so much pain and extremely worried about what had happened to me, I would have left the ER immediately. Her demeanor was completely unacceptable for someone who is supposed to be a medical professional.

She’s the best doctor out there! I have never ever been treated so amazing, caring and professionally with any other physician especially in the ER in Morris but She made my worries go away. She’s a truly talented and amazing person! I highly recommend her!!!!!!
