I used to see Dr. Flynn years ago for breast fibroids, It had been many years and she had started working at St. John/OCRSI and I had gotten a lump under my armpit and went to my primary care Dr at Utica Park South/Hillcrest and she sent me to get an mri there in 4/23 and it showed bi rads 4 suspicious for malignancy and I was sent back to Dr Flynn's office and got her NP Afton Owen and she checked me and decided to do nothing but wait so I left and 6 months later I went back to my primary care Dr and told her I was still hurting under that armpit and breast and she sent me back down to their radiologist where he checked my lymph node and said well you're node is ok but why didn't you get your breast biopsy a year ago and he did an ultrasound and said I need to get a biopsy immediately and sent me back to Laurie Flynn's office and that was 4/24 and she checked me again and read the report and said well I'm still not that concerned but we will do our own mri so I waited two months to get that done and I told them I didn't want a breast marker put in and I was told by her office they would not do the mri without the clip, I went back to my primary care at UPC told her and she said this is not ok, you have the right to decide that and her MA called Flynn's office and asked why they're not doing the MRI and they said we will only do it if she puts a clip in, so I told them I'll call an attorney. The next day I received a voicemail that they decided to do the mri but I have to sign off on the clip. Finally in June I got it done and got a call and was told I need a biopsy then scheduled me for a biopsy on 7/11 a month later snd got it done and got a call back on 7/13 saying I have breast cancer. So when I went back in to talk to the actual dr instead of the nurse practitioner she was very uncaring when my husband asked her about why they turned me away over a year and a half saying nothing was wrong. She said well I think she did a good job and took no accountability for the delay and stress in the horrible time it took to get a diagnoses. Much less then got upset because we asked her why she said well it was the radiologist fault not theirs and that she felt uncomfortable and that she thought it would be best to find another Dr. I said I definitely wouldn't trust this office, the radiologist also told me that my right breast was good after we asked them multiple times about calcium deposits if they could be cancer. They all
Said no including the radiologist also told Dr. Keim, she made me wait 30 mins then came in and told me I was fine. I ended up going to Md anderson who are top notch and found out that they had missed invasive cancer in my right breast also, and we asked them multiple times about it and they said no your right breast is fine. I wouldn't refer anyone to this Dr or breast center. They actually deserve a lawsuit so that other women don't die waiting on honest results. They also need investigating. Beware of St. John Breast Center/OCRSI. read more
