Complaint Review: ALLERGY ASSOCIATES OF THE BRAZOS VALLEY

 Dr. Paull has a terrible beside manner.  I came to see him in order to treat allergy and asthma symptoms that were negatively affecting my cystic fibrosis, a genetic lung disease I was diagnosed with at birth. Not only did Dr. Paull question whether I actually HAD cystic fibrosis, he utterly ignored my comments regarding my specific genetic mutations and family history of the disease. He treated me as if I was lying to him about having been diagnosed with this disease and wanted my medical records to prove my diagnoses. He asked me questions about my disease that were on par with asking a 15 year old genetic questions from high school biology (I honestly question his medical credentials).

I am 28 years old and I have a PhD in a science field. I am VERY well-versed in the causes, treatment and manifestation of my cystic fibrosis as well as the latest clinical research in the field. I was offended, upset, and left my appointment in tears because he was so disrespectful and condescending to me. The medical profession is a service field. I expect my doctors to listen to me when I discuss my symptoms, rather than interrupting me and telling me to be quiet, as well as believe that I am not lying about having a quite awful genetic disease that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. If you have cystic fibrosis, please consider seeing another allergist because Dr. Paull is simply disrespectful and high on his own ego.
