I had been a patient of Dr. Changs for years and years. I trusted her until one AM I came in to her office with symptoms of a stroke. She had her front office call ER to alert them I was coming in. This was an emergency. She should have talked to the ER herself.
Instead of calling an ambulance to transport me to the ER. She had me walk by myself out of her office into the elevator and look for my house keeper down in the parking lot. And she transported me, as my symptoms got worse. I should have been in an ambulance getting care.
With the help of my house keeper I walked into the ER where I waited in the waiting for 25 minutes. I didn't come in an ambulance so ER didn't feel I was an emergency. I didn't get any meds or an MRI. Dr. Chang didn't even call in to make sure I arrived alive!
Long story shorter. The idiot ER Dr. discharged me with a dx of blurry vision. I was walking into walls and had stopped being able to talk. I was told I must leave and get my eyes checked. I was taken home by my house keeper. She got me in my house and got me in bed, thought I was sleeping, then left for the day. I had lost consciousness. I had a stroke all by myself!!! At home, in my bed. Dr. Chang never called to check to see that I hadn't been admitted.
I woke 1 1/2 days later. My husband came home from a business trip and and realized something was wrong. Dr. Chang was surprised I hadn't been admitted!! Again she told my husband to take me to ER instead of calling an ambulance. I got the same treatment. My husband called Dr. Chang three times before she called back. Took 7 hours before I got an MRI. I'd had a Stroke in my language center.
She never followed up. I got home from the hospital and got an apt with her a few days later. She never called to check on me those days before my apt. And there has been a few other incidences sence the stroke.( Iyr ago) I finaly distrusted her enough to fire her. How much did we pay her as a concierge Dr.??? Too Damn much!!!! She is terrible in an emergency.
