Dr. Meera Yogarajah, MD

I have seen Dr. Yogarajah several times for my hemoglobin levels, and each visit has been extremely disappointing. She is always in a rush, barely allows me to speak, and dismisses my concerns. Our appointments are painfully brief, often lasting less than 10 minutes, and consist of only a couple of basic questions like, 'Do you feel tired?' and 'What medication are you taking?' That's it. She offers no meaningful advice, leaving me feeling unheard and frustrated. Due to her lack of care and attention, I will be seeking a new hematologist immediately.

Dr. Yogarajah is very knowledgeable about breast cancer and what treatment is needed. She explains the treatment and there is chemo education afterwards. As far as my condition, we did not need to review that in any extreme depth as my breast surgeon handled all that (and very well). She explained the stats for recurrence in the beginning and also formally checked for any metastasizing since my cancer had an aggressive oncotype score even though my lymph nodes were/are supposed to be clean. She is a busy doctor, but I have never felt like just a number. She has a no non-sense attitude about missing things you are supposed to do like follow-up appointments for other related procedures so watch out if you do! Her speech is fine, I can keep up and understand her. I could see how it could be hard to keep up as these are conversations we aren’t used to having, needing time to process, and the general fear and anxiety that tags along with such a life changing condition.

Difficult to understand her speach.
