Layne T E MD

I have been seeing Dr Layne for over 20 years. If you are sensitive you may not like her honesty. However, that honesty is why our family continues to trust her with our health. When I see a physician, I don't want to be lied to, I want to get better. She listens and takes what you say into account.

The bedside manor at this office is terrible. These women seem very unhappy, besides the nice secretary. On one occasion I went in for my physical and I was nervous. I was told to,"Calm the hell down."

I just recently went in and was shocked by the behavior of the nurse Misty. She was very rude and condescending. She insulted me on my clothing choices twice and was I clean and wearing clothing free of disrepair. She asked me if I, "Like to dress like my Grandma." Then she asked me what i was in for and I told her I brought a list so as not to forget. She then said, "Oh,shit. Give me the list." I was taken aback by this. She spent very little time with me, treated me like garbage, then left the room and gossiped with the doctor just outside where I could hear them mumbling about me.

Then the doctor came in and accused me of being on Norco's, which she had never prescribed to me. She asked me point blank in an accusatory tone, "So, where have you been getting your Norco's?" That was the very first thing she said to me.

After that I felt that I really had to defend myself. I'm a mother, a wife, I manage a couple of apartment complexes and volunteer in my child's classroom. I pride myself on being a good person, but instead I left their office and cried the whole way home due to the unnecessary shame and anger and undue stress.

The doctor does seem to know what she's doing, I can respect that, but it would be nice if it was done in a more caring and professional way. I told the secretary that I no longer wanted to speak with Misty, I told the doctor that she insulted me for no reason and accused me of being a drug seeker for no reason, and who was the first person I saw on my next visit? That's right, Misty. Did she apologize or show any signs of remorse or having been subject to disciplinary action... No.

I would not recommend this office.
