Hello everyone,
I actually did not have a very good experience with Dr. Richardson.
I was sent there because a hormone (can't remember which one) was very high and they were concerned it was causing a tumor. My GP recognized that I have PCOS and thought I should see an endo to make sure the PCOS wasn't causing the problem. I found out it was the PCOS and I'm okay.
Even though Dr Richardson seemed to be knowledgable, I found her to be very standoffish. She wasn't too concerned about PCOS. I asked her if going on metformin was a good idea because a doctor had suggested it to me. Her response was more or less "I think that is a bad idea. Just lose weight". Easier said then done as I am sure that you can imagine. I left feeling frustrated.
I have heard that Dr Wong (that his name?) is very similar. It is not necessarily that they are bad people but I think they either lack compassion and/or interest in PCOS. I have considered calling the women's clinic downtown to see if they could get a support group going with a doctor or nurse.
