Dr. Risa W Huber, MD

Dr. Huber is one of the worst doctors that I have ever encountered. Not only is she rude, but she is very condescending.... She is not my normal doctor, but when I was sick over the weekend, she was the "on call doctor". Rather than listening to my experience and trying to help, she gave me a lecture on why I should go to the minute clinic (when all they would do is call the on call doctor anyways...) and how I am not actually sick. I tried to explain my symptoms to her, rather than listen to me, she gave me a lecture about the difference between an internal and external ear infection. I know the difference- I am susceptible to them, and if she had listened to me to get a full patient history or had looked in my chart, she would have known that. Sick of the lectures and not feeling well, I gave the phone to my mother, a registered nurse and a director at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Dr. Huber continued to lecture my mother and called us both liars saying that I was not actually sick and that my normal doctor never prescribes medicine for ear infections. That is not true- he had given my mother medicine for the same symptoms a week prior, and had multiple times treated me for ear infections. Dr. Huber eventually asked me for my pharmacy information, but did not say if she was calling something in or what she was calling in. Upon reaching the pharmacy, Dr. Huber had called something in; however, she called in my prescription under Dr. Bonsu's name, not her own. Dr. Bonsu is a gynecologist, does not see patients for ear infections, and did not speak with me about my illness. Dr. Huber not only was rude and condescending to me, she lied to the pharmacy about who she was. As a child of a nurse and an employee at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, I have encountered many doctors. Dr. Huber is in the bottom 1% of all doctors I have met in their bedside manners and patient relations. I am embarrassed to say that I work for the University from which she obtained her medical degree. If I did not fully trust Dr. Morog, my real doctor, I would have thought about switching my care from St. Agnes because of my negative experience with Dr. Huber. more details
