Dr. Joanne Calabrese, DO

I disagree with some of her theories on why she will not prescribe certain medicines. I was previously on Premarain Cream from a former Doctor and she would not renew prescription as she felt women do good without it. I went to a Specialist who deals with older women and issues and he told me I need to be on that medication until I am 90 and to run away from any Doctor whom makes such statements. I developed Hot flashes and again No medication. I had to see a specialist to prescribed medication to help me. Going through Menopause I put weight on she always asks if I exercise. (No I sit on my A++ all day) I asked about medication that would help with weight loss. A Big No again. I decided after 2 years with her I am going to leave her practice. I need a Doctor whom is more open to helping me. I just feel like I waste my time with her. Last, St. Lukes moved her office to the Center of Tamaqua, what a mistake. I hate going there . It is so noisy with all the traffic from 309. I do not like parking there with all the rift raft walking around the parking lot.-it's also right by the liquor store which is not a very good place to have a Medical practice. What were they thinking.

SHES VERY KIND AND CARING
