Dr. Laura Dutu, MD

Couldn't reach her for test results, was told to wait for her call, then couldn't drop my work meetings to take her call (her office told me to keep 3 hour window open, which isn't possible). Then got message from her office saying everything fine. Then 4 (!!!) months later, still having problems, I call her office, they say you have high blood sugar, 'hahaha stop eating junk food.' So 1) hard to reach and didn't communicate and 2) made assumptions about my diet. Because I had colitis long time prior, was already on a close-to-keto diet for past 2 decades. Don't eat junk food, no gluten, don't drink sodas nor juices, don't eat desserts ever, don't eat sugar or honey. Very little occasional alcohol. So...something else is wrong. Am now on even more insanely limited keto diet, no alcohol ever. In person, bad interactions with her where she seemed mildly contemptuous, condescending.

Disappointed because doctor had great reviews but unfortunately I wasn’t even able to see her. Was looking for a new pcp and made it a point to let the receptionist know that I was pregnant when I made the appointment. I was told that it was not an issue by any means. After taking off from work and dealing with the busy parking garage of the hospital, I entered the office, saw the receptionist, filled out general forms and waited to be called only for a nurse to come out and tell me that the doctor does not see pregnant patients… time, money and at 7.5 months pregnant, valuable energy wasted. Unfortunately for the doctor, if admin and reception can make such a trivial error I don’t want to wait around for errors to occur on important matters.
