Tringo Dessie, NP

I've been coming to this clinic for about 20 years, and Tringo has given me the least comprehensive annual check-up in all that time. She didn't thorougly read Dr's notes from previous medical proceedures I was asking about, and I had to tell her what he'd said, mentioned that she doesn't believe in Vaccines, didn't do even a cursory breast exam, gave me advice contradictlory to something she'd told me in a previous visit related to an ongoing physical issue I have, acted as if she was taking the pulse in my ankles to check on acardiovascular problem I'd had but didn't even give it 2 seconds, I could go on. Perhaps she thinks seniors on Medicare are just a waste of time??

Easy to talk with. Listened when I spoke, smiled. Gave very thorough directions.

She was wonderful. Attentive and answered all my concerns

Everything went well, she explains and gives you the information for you to make the best decisions for you,

TOOK ME OFF OF 3 DIFFERENT MEDICIMES, ALL COLD TURKEY, IT HAS BEEN AWFUL, DOUBLE VISION, FALLING ASLEEP WHILE DRIVING, MESSING UP AT WORK.

This person has no clue how to treat endocrine disorders and blood pressure issues, and also will not refer out despite being ethically obligated to do so if unable to properly treat a patient. Does not even know the basics of what tests to run for these issues. If someone is symptomatic, there is a problem, despite what your (wrong) test tells you. Anyone who actually knows anything about thyroid issues knows that a FULL panel should be run and that other endocrine disorders should be tested for if a patient is symptomatic after being on medication. TSH is not enough, especially when the patient is not improving. Refused to treat my blood pressure with no explanation and no referral. Sudden chronic low BP means blood pressure meds are needed as well as a system failure. Common sense things. Provider is polite enough but just does not know what she is doing. When people ask for a referral because their situation is not resolved under your care, you give it to them, period.

Had her one time, wanted off of Cymbalta. But what she didnt tell me is that I had to do it gradually, not cold turkey. So I went thru withdraws, because of her....she should of known you cant do this by yourself......Do NOT Recommend!!
