Do not book with Dr. Close if you value being heard or treated with respect. She told me verbatim "I don't think this will be a productive conversation" at the start and refused to listen to my history. She interrupted constantly, raised her voice, and rushed through the exam like a formality. Dr. Close is extremely hostile toward patients who are informed or want to collaborate on their care. When I tried to discuss my chronic symptoms or research I'd done, she responded with hostility and shut me down completely. I came open-minded with her excellent reviews in mind, hoping to find a provider I could trust. Instead, I left feeling demoralized and dismissed. This was one of the most unprofessional medical encounters I've experienced. She wouldn't let me finish sentences, responded to questions with hostility rather than answers, and made it clear she had no interest in understanding my situation. Find a different gastroenterologist who actually listens.
