After 2 months of being Dr Johns “patient” I’ve still not seen, heard, or spoken to her. I had appointment scheduled with her today at 3 pm, was early, checked in to find out it’s been cancelled. I’ve been in great pain and distress this entire time and have begged to see or speak to her or any other GI doctor only to be told I’m under Dr Johns care and that speaking to her isn’t possible. I had to go to hospital for a blood transfusion where I was told by the ER doctor that it looked like I had colitis and they would need to do mri/endoscopy to make sure. Dr Johns prescribed me plenvu as a bowel prep for the colon/gastroscopy. About 15-30 minutes after taking the plenvu I thought I was going to die. My guts were writhing with a burning stabbing pain and I couldn’t get off the floor. I was in tears. I eventually got sick and purged the plenvu from my system and things calmed down to pre-plenvu pain levels. I looked plenvu up online, on the first page of info it said to not take it if you had colitis as it could be fatal. I believe it. The ER doctor, whom I guess was Dr Johns’ original and only source of information, as well as my GP and another doctor, all suspected I had ulcerative colitis. Then, when it was time to reschedule my appointment I was nervous about the bowel prep they were prescribing. I told the secretary about my experience, because the secretary is the only person I ever got to speak to. I was told that, “oh, no, Dr Johns thinks you have Crohn’s disease, not colitis.” How convenient. Funny that they would never tell me what they suspected before that terrible reaction. I’ve had it with Dr Johns. I’m happy the other reviews on here have been good. I’m glad those people got the help they needed. But, I’ve been rescheduled now, again, and I’m so mad at the thought of having to ask this person for help that I’ve decided to go private. Simply because there’s no way I’ll be able to temper my anger enough to convey what I would need to. It will end up costing me a lot of money and loads of time in pain waiting for this person, and I can’t do it anymore. I hope the rest of you have better luck.
