Arthur Powell is a physician who understands how to work with me. He has a very friendly laid back approach to our communication. He makes sure to get clearly yet diplomatically what's important in my care. He has a way of getting me to come to the conclusions of what's needed rather than him acting like most docs in my past and try to dictate. That always made me uncomfortable and lack trust. He shares information and in doing so we come up with solutions together.
He also has and understands how to handle urgent situations. i had what turned out to be a kidney stone. I thought it was an appendicitis do to a past situation that settled down before they needed to remove it. As soon as I was settled in Henry Ford ER he had one of the MDVIP docs come over to check up on me and make sure I was getting the care I needed. The doc he sent over also made sure that I was in a good place mentally before leaving.
Due to my cholesterol and hypertension. Dr Powell recommended a highly regarded Cardiologist. I found him to be arogent and based on the tests he ordered 100% wrong on his initial assessment. The second appt with said doctor I learned to like him less.
My father-in-law has a cardiologist that i like. So I asked Dr Powell his thoughts. He said he was excellent and told me that there was another excellent person in the same practice in case I had any issues getting in. I ended up with a great doctor.
The whole point is that Arthur Powell is flexible and understands that there are many ways to get things done. He always makes sure I understand the decisions we make, and makes me feel part of the process. I have yet to get bad advice from him. He is also very responsive when I reach out.
