I am primarily a clinic-based physician, but I also spend some time caring for hospitalized patients. I specialize in preventive medicine and managing chronic medical problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart problems.
I am active in clinical research and am part of a number of projects to improve the delivery of medical care, like the 24 hour blood pressure monitor and streamlining system-wide medical practices. As part of my practice, I also assist in teaching medical students and internal medicine residents in the clinic and in the hospital.

Dr. Ingham suggested I see a "specialist," which I did 2 months ago - Condition is improving but still have a ways to go.

seeing a person "in training" and then briefly seeing the Dr. definitely minimizes how you feel about your experience I really don't want to spend time with anyone other than the Dr. I made the appointment with.

I explained all of my issues that came up that week, and told him this happened 2 yrs ago and I was hospitalized. He ordered no blood work or urine to check my levels, with exception to the labwork request I brought with me from my mental health provider to check b-12 and depokote levels. I explained last time I was kept at hospital for rhabdomyolysis from rapid muscle death when I experienced the same involuntary bilateral muscle seizures. Without any tests run he concluded that when I asked if it could be from new medication, he made the assumption it was without any testing. Told me he refilled a RX, updated my chart that I was allergic to a medicine and put in other drs lab request and have a good day. I also mentioned I was irritated in my vagina area, because the med was an antibiotic, I historically have to take diflucan whenever I take antibiotics. He didn't offer a script or ask to see affected area or test urine. I felt like he just listened to me, and copied down what I said without treatment. I have specialists at Mayo for pulmonologist, allergic disease, ear nose throat, and now orthopedic. But everyone keeps urging me to get into primary care Dr to check levels, and find out if there are any new issues to address. I did not receive that care, this is why I wait until things get to be unbearable and just go to ER. I have had to have 10 surgeries, and I have chronic eosinophilia. Chronic illness that so far has effected many systems of my body. I do go to Mayo infusion center every 4 wks for a nucala, immnotherapy injection to boost my immune system. I do not see a doctor at Mayo every month, I am just there for injections. Dr Ingham seems to write me off because I have specialists at Mayo. I get the impression he assumes they are treating me on pop up issues, and that is not the case. I am told time and time again that is what the primary care doctor is for. I did not receive that care from my primary.
