I am 69 years old with a fatal autoimmune disease which has weakened my immune system to the point of several organs developing cancer. I had a surgery scheduled for a masectomy on the 8th of July, on the 29th of June , I was prescribed enough medication for 15 days and told the surgeon would write a script for the rest of the month. The surgeon wrote a script which I never picked up. I had an appointment with my primary care for a scheduled checkup. While there i told him my condition. It was the 24th of July and I had not had medication for 7 days. He wrote me a script for 7 days to cover my pain till my next appointment with the pain clinic. When I saw the doctor which was 3 weeks after a masectomy and the week before radiation treatment of my lungs. She treated me like a criminal, refused to listen to what had happened as I had not received any pain medication because my primary care sent the script to my mail in pharmacy and it had not arrived. I only had 15 days of medication for 30 days. She questioned me like the gestapo, saying I signed a paper and went against rules, however never explained to me what laws I went against as I had broken no law. She walked out of the office refusing to treat me and left me sitting. I then waited and sat for 15 minutes before I stepped out and asked should I leave. I was then told yes. With no consideration for my condition. I was devastated. Mary CArter the physician was rude, uncaring and did not consider my suffering. This is no place to go with chronic lifelong pain.

If you do, and you can only be seen for areas covered by your insurance, such as yearly exams, make sure that you get in writing that they will not be charging you for anything that is not paid for on your insurance. One other piece of advice for all doctor appointments anywhere: Do not allow yourself to be blackmailed by any doctor office that states they will not call in a totally unrelated (non-narcotic) prescription unless you make appointments first, for totally unrelated other areas; such as stating you can't have your life necessary thyroid medication unless you get a pap smear (???!) at their office, you may have a OBGYN you prefer that you go to - so how would this be related? This is your health, your choice.

I was initially optimistic because they scheduled me quickly, but the actual visit was a major…read moredisappointment and left me feeling incredibly upset. First, the lack of cleanliness and professionalism was shocking. When my fiancé and I were taken to a room, there was a used, messy cast from a previous patient left wide open on the counter. The assistant's response was to say "oh crap," throw it in the trash can inside our room, and leave it there without sanitizing the counter or removing the waste. Second, the consultation was dismissive. I have been waiting two months with a clean break in my finger. Instead of discussing a recovery plan, the doctor tried to talk me out of surgery, asking why I even "needed" it and suggesting that some people just live with unattached bones. As a 37-year-old who uses my hands for everything, "living with it" is not an option. I felt discriminated against--perhaps due to my insurance--and felt like she was only agreeing to the procedure because I pushed for it, not because she cared about my quality of life. Finally, the wait time was ridiculous. After the doctor left, we were told someone would bring a piece of paper to finish up. We sat in that room for 45 minutes. My fiancé had to check the hallway multiple times just to see if we had been forgotten. I left the office in tears and did not go through with the surgery there. I am now seeking a second opinion from a surgeon who takes my injury and my hand functionality seriously. I would not recommend this facility if you are looking for a clean environment or a doctor who listens.
