Dr. Joonis Abdulkhader, MD

Saw her at Prov West Olympia Urgent Care. Unclear if I had a bad cold or COVID. She clearly communicated my testing and treatment options. Helped me make informed decisions. Appreciated her guidance very much.

She was rude and seemed to be angry. Insisted I was presenting with an issue that later was proved to be wrong.

?concerned about sudden pain in back which migrated from mid to lower back & could not see my primary care doctor for3 weeks so went to immediate care at providence. she was the doctor I saw. She was convinced it was acute bilateral back pain. I was concernedit might be kidney. I have a family history of kidney problems & have had a stone passed & diagnosed with one a year ago. She did not hear me out. I asked for an xray to see if stone had changed. She reluctantly did have me get an xray but they were going to call me back with results & have not heard back them. Further she recommended Voltaren cream for my back but I am warfarin & that interferes with warfarin. I felt unheard.

My elderly mother fell down and was bruised up and complained about terrible pain in groin area and buttocks./hips. Dr Abdulkhader quickly looked at her and told her to walk and just diagnosed her with muscle weakness and told her she just need to start using a walker. I told her "don't you think she needs to get an x-rays ?" and she said "well if she had anything broken she wouldn't be able to walk." Now it is 10 days later, took her to St Peters got an X-Ray she has a fractured broken pelvic.
