I was referred to this doctor by the ER at Saint johns mercy upon my first visit I was prescribed a…read moremedication and physical therapy in Lou of surgery to aid in the healing of my right knee I expressed to this doctor that I am a Medicaid patient, and I did not think that Medicaid would cover in anyway the physical therapy... I was given a number through St. John's Mercy to ask for charity. It turns out the topical ointment that he prescribed again is not covered by Medicare and so when I called his office to explain that I had a follow up in four weeks and was unable to start any of the treatments that he recommended I was told by his assistant nurse Jennifer that he would be unable to offer alternative treatments so unless I came out of pocket for said treatments I could go ahead and cancel my follow up. Now I'm a realistic person and I'm sure there's other medication that can be prescribed instead of the latter and for Christ's sake if you are an "orthopedic Surgeon " maybe you have some printouts with leg exercises that you can give to patients to take home! Horrible bed side manor, I thought these guys took an oath to help all sick people.... not just the rich ones that they can juice their insurance companies for bullshit treatments and for sure not have to wait 3+ months to get paid by Medicaid/ health net! If you want a caring dr with a thoughtful staff then get another Mercy Dr... this one doesn't deserve to have Mercy printed on his card!
