For a patient that wants a proactive doctor that listens and empathizes with the stress that certain health concerns bring Dr Pierce is not the doctor for you. She is dismissive and relies on the patients not knowing enough to advocate for themselves to get by with doing the bare minimum for them. I asked if she could provide an order and referral to their in practice cardiology office and she required that I have either and in person or at the least a virtual visit without explaining if she could provide this type of referral. On my virtual visit she admitted that she wants to be 'fairly compensated' for her time and effort, along with that she is 'detail oriented' yet she asked me no new questions that related to her ability to provide an order and referral. But instead stated that she doesn't want to be going back and forth over MyPortal because that would 'take her time and she wouldn't be compensated'. I'm all for getting compensated fairly but I want to hear thoughtful reasoning into her diagnostics. Additionally, when I asked for a comprehensive blood work panel she refused several times because it would cost me money and I "presented as a healthy adult and said I ate a well rounded diet" and that "supplements have no clinical data showing that they improve vitamin/mineral levels". I believe other physicians at this practice are capable and competent providers, staff is friendly and the office is clean which is why I provided 2 stars. I have not been at this practice for 3 years but felt the need to provide this review given she is still practicing.
