    Dr. Amy Mellor has been my neurologist for more than 15 years. I travel 27 miles to see her…read morebecause, after consulting doctors in Fort Myers, Naples, and Indiana, she is the neurologist who was finally able to help bring my grand mal seizures under control. Before finding the right treatment, I was taking multiple medications and struggling with weight gain, depression, and other difficult side effects. Thanks to Dr. Mellor's careful and knowledgeable treatment, I have been able to enjoy precious time with my grandchildren, drive, and continue teaching. Those are blessings I never take for granted. Accepting my seizure condition has been very sensitive and difficult for me, but Dr. Mellor's compassion and support have helped me understand and accept it. As I now face other health concerns, her intelligence and guidance have helped connect me with the appropriate specialists and given me hope that things will be okay. I am deeply grateful for Dr. Mellor and the difference she has made in my life. She is an exceptional neurologist, and I recommend her wholeheartedly.

    After a meeting I had yesterday at Bayfront I felt like I was being bullied into giving up on…read morefighting for my loved ones rights as a person. I was with the head of Risk Management Jim Reed, Administrative Director Craig Leech and female, whom did not share a business card with me, Head of Nursing. I have a loved one currently in Riverside, I was appointed as her advocate and was told all medication changes and treatments would have to be run by me for append unless it was an immediate emergency. My loved one and Dr. Arthmann had both told me her meds were being changed. When I asked the doctor what they were he said he did not need to tell me because it was his decision and only involved his patient. And he did not need to consult her regular psychiatrist either. The patient went in Friday night, the Dr. changed her meds Saturday and it was not until Monday that I was able to get in touch with anyone in charge to express my concerns. Now back to Tuesday afternoon when I was having the meetig with the 3 admin officials.... In the meeting I was once again assured that there had not been any changes and again when I expressed that the patient had told me of feeling woozy and unsteady due to the changes, they offered to make a copy of her papers to prove her meds were the same as when she came in. So by 3:00 Tuesday I had been assured that there had not been any changes and that my loved ones mental state may be making her tell me things that were not true. Then late Tuesday afternoon I received a call from a nurse and she said they were making 2 more change to the patients meds including adding a sleeping pill. I was driving and couldn't really talk and she got rude and said, well as long as we have your permission, and I said, "no you don't, I need to know more information about the new drug" the nurse continues to be rude and said it was the doctors decision and this was just a courtesy call and hung up. When I had a chance to pull over and call back, I was told that someone would be in touch. Thus is the next day and I have left multiple messages and still no contact. Although my loved one said they gave her the sleeping pills and that caused her to sleep thru the 1 hour a day visitation time they she had now missed. Also, after my complaint Monday about Dr. Arthmann, she was transferred to another doctor whom I was told twice Tuesday that he would contact me after doing his rounds Tuesday afternoon. It is now Wednesday and it appears that I was lied to again. When I spoke to my loved one early Tuesday evening, I asked her how her meds were doing, she said the new Dr. had made another change and it was making her very tired through the day. Now I am still wondering why she would lie about that and again have doubts about the honesty of the admin presence at the meeting. She said they had given her another sleeping pill and she was going to bed early. When I asked what they had given her and who approved it. She said she asked specifically asked for clonazepam (Klonopin) and they gave it to her. When I reminded her of having to take them away due to an adverse reaction over a year ago and switch to zolpidem (Ambien) she said, "oh yeah, now I remember, well goodnight" and she hung up the phone. So, it's obvious why Mr. Reed has a job, this is a hospital that puts reputation and profit above patients and the admin works together to keep their doctors happy and responsible family members in the dark!
