Renee Nydegger, MD

I have no idea why I was send a request to rate this doctor. I was seen for chronic diarrhea a couple of years ago that continued for several weeks. My experience was poor. I was not treated other than told to see my regular doctor. I had just moved back to Iowa from Montana after living out of Iowa for 12 years and had no regular doctor at the time. As a result, I ended up being treated for dehydration in Michigan because I was not given anything to treat the problem. My experience was poor.

In my opinion, this woman lacks the skills necessary to competently take care of patients. I could care less that she has abysmal people skills.I stopped in because of an alergic reaction on my neck throat , chest , face mouth and eyes.
The doctor didn't look at my blood pressure reading , which nurse informed me was high. She didn' check my breathing (ooops)! She did NOT ask about the nuts on my new diet.
She asked how I picked up the rash. I didn't know.
She left the room after she told me she would prescribe an oral steroid! I have a warning of noted steroid sensitivity in chart. She left the room >2 minutes. Done.

I stopped her while she was walking away and asked her if this could be from adding nuts to my diet???? She responded thatshe "didn't know."
What an enlightening visit. Yes, sarcasm is needed.

I followed her in the hall to ask her if this was due to adding nuts to my Atkins diet. She said that she was told of a steroid allergy on
my chart and prescribed an

rescribed an oral steroid and told me to eat with breakfast.

Doesn’t listen to patients needs, comes off as very selfish. Explained my symptoms, and told me “it doesn’t matter if I’m positive or negative for a test.” Treated me as if she is in a rush. Not the right care for a patient who is sick. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
