They got him moved as soon as another bed was available. We were both in Halifax after a very serious car accident, leaving him with broken ribs and me with neck fracture and lumbar spine fracture. We went into Brooks rehab after our hospital stay, and that was very good also. Our one main concern was that my husband was without pain meds and food/water for an extended amount of time because they kept saying he was going for a specific MRI (for gallbladder and pancreatitis), but they never showed up until the next day. He was in serious pain, even sweating due to pain, so I was very upset by this. Alex and Brittney, on 7th floor were WONDERFUL nurses! They came quickly when he needed them and never made him feel like a burden to them.

I'm writing this based on a widely shared social-media account involving Theodore Haskin, DO at…read moreHalifax Health in Daytona Beach, and what was shown was deeply troubling. A young Black woman in her mid-20s reportedly presented to the ER in a sickle cell pain crisis and was met with what appeared to be condescension, patronizing language, and dismissal of her pain. Sickle cell disease is a genetic blood disorder that disproportionately affects African American patients and is well known in medicine for causing severe, excruciating pain crises due to blocked blood flow. These crises are considered medical emergencies and are commonly treated with timely opioid pain management when clinically indicated. In the video, the physician was seen talking down to her, due to her need for appropriate pain relief medication while citing vague statements like "studies show it's dangerous," despite the patient being in an emergency setting and clearly in distress. To many viewers like myself, this interaction reflected a lack of empathy, outdated or misapplied reasoning, and troubling bias, particularly toward a young Black woman advocating for herself. Regardless of intent, the encounter raised serious concerns about how pain, race, and chronic illness are handled in emergency medicine. Patients with sickle cell disease already face significant stigma and disbelief in healthcare settings, and situations like this only reinforce that fear. I hope Halifax Health takes these concerns seriously and prioritizes compassionate, evidence-based care for all patients.

Doctor Zamora, didn't know that my husband was on speakerphone because he couldn't be with me. I had a bubble in my lip from what he called getting filler laying down during my surgery and when I asked him to fix he wanted me to pay for another filler needle to fix his mistake. At the moment my husband was just listening on my speaker phone. I was alone in the room when Dr. Zamora thought said, "either you're going to be an ASSHOLE or I am!" Not knowing my husband heard this inappropriate comment, my husband said out, "WHAT DID HE SAY?" Dr. Zamora looked around in shock and asked, what was that? I commented in tears that my husband had not been there in person, but was supporting me via phone! I was horrified. He ran out of the room. He got a needle and fixed his mistake immediately! He was caught being his true self. MORAL TO THIS STORY: Dr. Zamora is all sweet at first but left alone with him he has no respect for his patients. Worst of all my nose job healed horribly and I have to get it fixed! THERE ARE BETTER, MORE PROFESSIONAL AND MUCH MORE QUALIFIED doctors IN THIS AREA. This guy is in his own words, "AN AHOLE" and in MY experience despite their reaction to this comment is a STAY AWAY!

Dr. Grove took his time to explain how the repair would be done, complications that may occur & postoperative concerns and restrictions.

I have been receiving knee injections from Dr. Hawthorne in my attempt to postpone the inevitable - knee replacement surgery. More about that another time. On Father's Day weekend 2023, I felt a momentary sharp pain in my right shoulder. Having felt a similar pain in my past, I assumed what I had done. I put off seeing Dr. Hawthorne until July. After the CT, the official diagnosis was, "retracted full-thickness, full width re-tear of the supraspinatus tendon and, retracted full-thickness near full-width tear of the infraspinatus tendon". In laymen's terms, I tore my rotator cuff - again. The surgery (not arthroscopic) was addressed in mid-August. I started in-home PT 3-days after the surgery (arranged by Dr. Hawthorne's office). In-home PT continued for 3-weeks. I am currently in outpatient PT doing the work to re-gain both my strength, and my range of motion (also arranged by Dr. Hawthorne's office). By the way, I have a tattoo on the shoulder where the surgery was done. Without exaggeration, you would not be able to tell that I had surgery if I did not tell you. The point of incision is barely visible. Dr. Hawthorne is a man of few words. He'll give you the facts to help you to decide the next steps, without the glitter. When you are ready, you can move forward with him and trust that he will do a great job. I trust him. As soon as I have completed PT and have fully recovered from rotator cuff surgery, I will be scheduling with Dr. Hawthorne to get my knees done, one after the other. I highly recommend Dr. Hawthorne and his team.
