Commonwealth Sports Medicine

This was an interesting experience — I can’t see going back.
Making the appointment was a challenge. Yvette didn’t seem to understand «PO Box» and repeatedly asked for a street name, so I made one up. Ten minutes later I had an appointment for the same week as a new patient but wasn’t confident that they took my insurance.
Turns out they did, so I went. The ladies behind the desk were very nice. I was shown into a room and Dr. Stadler arrived quickly. She’s direct and a close talker; she began peppering me with questions while someone else started taking my BP. It was hot in the room, I was leaning against the exam table, answering questions left and right. Dr. Stadler asked if my BP had ever been as ridiculously high as they said it was — never in my life, but then I’d never stood up and been quizzed in a hot room either.
The door was open to the back hall and people kept coming in or stopping by. Her kids were leaving so she had them come in the room (after asking me if it was okay).
Dr. Stadler said she would have acted differently than I did when given certain information about a medical condition (as though I and probably everyone can learn much from her). She asked if I needed anything else while I was there; I mentioned a dermatological issue so she wrote a prescription (which turned out to be useless according to my dermatologist and my skin, so I wasted $ 40) and increased another medication because my reported level wasn’t high enough (even though it’s close to the top of the acceptable lab range).
I made an appointment for the nutritionist at her suggestion but canceled using the form on their website. No one ever replied.

Dr. Stadler and her staff are amazing. I hardly ever wait when I get there and she is always positive and upbeat. She has helped me continue to train harder than ever!
