I believe Maha Toma at John Muir Medical Group, Lafayette is in a wrong profession.

In medical practice, good communication between doctor and patient is very important to understand the symptom of the illness correctly and to produce a proper prescription. Doctor listens, explains and guides the patient. Doctor encourages the patient to ask questions. However, she complains about too many questions from patient. She does not want such a patient.

In January 2019, I saw Dr. Toma to show her my skin problem and to get a referral. At the end of the visit, she said that she did not want me for her patient. Reason? She said that I had asked too many questions. I was shocked. Her reason was not the usual excuse, “too many patients” she had.

It was my second visit with her. I saw her a year before when my primary care physician then had retired. She was his substitute. During the session, she agreed to accept me for her patient. Subsequently, I notified my insurance company of this change of the primary care physician. Now, she wants to reject me.

Asking too many questions. It is the reason for her rejection. I do not know how many are too many. I am somewhat shy person and usually quiet. I really did not think that I asked too many with any measure. After all, all the topics we talked were about the symptom. How many questions can one think out of a skin problem? Should I not ask if things are not clear to me?

The January visit was a very humiliating encounter.
