I went to Dr. Mattern because I've had a problem lately of urine retention. I'm only 26 (female), and I figured I must have a UTI. I also had a kidney stone a few weeks ago, just as extra information. I only went to him because he accepted walk-ins and I didn't want to go to the ER, and nowhere else in Elko was open on that Friday.
I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. I have to go find a different doctor today that will hopefully help me figure this out instead of just saying "oh well." I had to wait a half hour in the little room by myself ("the doctor will be a 'few minutes;' he's with another patient" they said. Right.). He didn't know what was wrong, and he didn't seem to care about finding out either. No referral to a urologist, no ideas why a 26 year old female might have bladder problems, and no suggestions for anything except taking an antibiotic that wouldn't help a nonexistent infection. Wonderful.
They tested my urine and nothing came up. No UTI. He basically shrugged and said here are some antibiotics anyway. He didn't know what was wrong with me and didn't really care. Then he lectured me for 5 minutes about diabetes and how I'll never get health insurance if it's ever on my record. Oh, and by the way....I'm not diabetic, and I already have health insurance with no plans to change in the foreseeable future. What the heck?
