Reviews of Gorman Patrick D MD (Doctor)

Kevin Callahan

I usually don’t review anything unless it was a terrible experience, and Dr. Gorman was that. My wife had been searching for help with a health issue that was a difficult to diagnose, her symptoms acted like MS (fatigue, imbalance, numbness of hands, and extreme exhaustion). So our doctor recommended we get an echocardiogram and it revealed she had a hole in her heart between the left and right Atria. Hoping that we could get help and maybe some answers we scheduled an appt with him and he couldn’t have been more dismissive and condescending. The hole in her heart is common, 1 in 5 people have it and that it was an incidental finding. We have since learned from another doctor that my wife has Lupus. And with our follow up he was again condescending and acted like we were wasting his precious time after we waited for an hour. Then he went on to place seeds of doubt about her Lupus diagnosis, and that she shouldn’t believe that it is Lupus just because she has the markers for it. We have been on a 3 year search for answers to what is ailing her and when an auto immune specialist says it is Lupus, then we have a cardiologist trying to step out of his specialty and act mad that we were even there, we walked away upset and questioning ourselves. Needless to say we didn’t need a cardiologist, we were just looking for help and he acted irritated by the entire experience of us making an appt and looking for answers. We will never go back to Gorman again, I would search out another cardiologist before seeing him.
