First 3 times was a stage 4 cancer survivor who she agreed to see when the doctors office called her. Third time was for myself. I have a virus and the second I made it in I ran to the bathroom to vomit and fell to the floor shivering if that tells you how sick I am. Why you ask? Oh boy am I glad to tell you. 1st attempt: We forgot the card. (Our bad) 2nd Attempt: We were told we didn't have enough for copay. We knew it was $25. (We left no fight.) 3rd Attempt: Behold it's a $25 copay #NotFunnyBitches. However, they refuse to see her because here medical issues are too intense. She just needed her vitals checked as a follow up for an ER visit. She didn't even offer to check her vitals just sent her away. She's survived worse so fuck them. She didn't get seen by a doctor and had a minor heart attack shortly after. (We didn't fight we found a better doctor.) 4th attempt: I'm chunky and I have 2 insurance. One through my dad and one through my job. My dad's is better and he lives in Arkansas so I use the digital cards provided by my insurance company. They denied me weak and shivering and begin to cry to my boyfriend why won't they see me. I begged the doctor to see me since I had multiple insurance and she told me i wouldn't be seen if I caused a scene. The doctor and attendant went to help another patient. So while I was alone I cried to my boyfriend again asking in denial why they can turn down so many patients who have insurance and need them. They came out and told me I would not be seen. I lost it this time and as was walking out screamed "Why don't you help people? The people on the island are poor and need help and you won't help them. Fuck you bitches." I'm an introvert and literally have anxiety about telling anyone no This is not my normal behavior, but these witches don't deserve to be the only practice on the island. If you are a good doctor I beg you to come to this city and provide healthcare for the locals on the island and the thousands of people who visit here so we can have an competent practice.... A doctor's duty is to care. Turning away a guest in need when they have medical insurance and are begging to be seen is the work of true demons with no heart. If you are a good person please do not go here. You risk yourself or loved ones not being help. You also put food in the belly of scum who wouldn't help a you if you were dying.

From top to bottom - intake, nurses, doctors, etc. - the experience was amazing. I didn't catch everyone's names, but The Kenzies and Dr. Roth are two I remember. There was minimal paperwork (likely due to the transfer), everything was well-explained, including the risks and possible side effects of the medications he received, and very little waiting. Literally my only complaint is that the 7th floor vending machines don't work right and do I even CARE when my kid got such good attention? I am so grateful to everyone here that my boy is OK and I feel confident that they gave him the best possible treatment. J.Ja

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Robert Carlile at Charleston Neurology Associates. From…read morethe moment you walk in, the professionalism of both the doctor and his staff is clear. What truly sets Dr. Carlile apart is his incredible empathy and the way he listens. He took the time to hear all of my concerns and never once made me feel rushed. Beyond his wonderful bedside manner, he is simply excellent at what he does. He is knowledgeable and clearly an expert in his field. I also greatly appreciate the practice's efficiency--appointment wait times are minimal, which is a huge bonus. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch neurologist.

Worst Medical Provider Experience in over six decades... In…read morean effort to comprehend the lack of direction in my current, however long-term, neurological care and following four weeks of leaving numerous unanswered messages at Dr. Carlile's office, I drove 45 minutes to his office. Instead of receiving the reportedly anticipated diagnosis of four weeks prior, I was told that my numerous telephone messages had been mistakenly routed to the voicemail of an ex-employee. I further learned that the obstacle to my diagnosis lay in an insufficient blood draw of early May. However, it remains unclear why I was never informed. I left the office for a second blood draw at the nearby Palmetto Primary Care Physicians North Charleston facility. Subsequent to a 40-minute wait, I was called by the phlebotomist. As she prepared to initiate the draw, I queried if the draw required fasting. My orders were checked and it was determined that a fasting draw was required. I'm glad that I asked that question or this review would be even worse. I travelled the 45 minutes back to my home and returned to the draw center several days later for a presumably successful blood draw. Seven weeks passed with no contact regarding the results of the second blood draw results, which I was told would take a few days at most. I finally gave up on Dr. Carlile's office and telephoned Palmetto Primary Care Physicians draw center. Explaining that I still awaited the results of a blood draw of seven weeks prior, I verified that the blood work had been processed and the results sent to Dr. Carlile. I was informed that someone from Dr. Carlile's office, as well as the Patient Advocate of the draw center would follow-up with me. The following day, I spoked with the Palmetto Primary Care Physicians Charleston Neurology Associates office manager. At that time, I learned that once again the blood draw was somehow problematic and that a third blood draw would be necessary. Again, I was never notified! When I expressed my ongoing dissatisfaction with a total lack of communications or forward movement toward a diagnostic resolution, ongoing over the prior seven months, the completely unapologetic office manager became unprofessionally belligerent, sarcastic, and argumentative. I have never had any past problems with my blood draws or in obtaining results. This office manager, completely lacked any outward demonstration of compassion toward understanding my weeks of physical pain and frustration in my almost fifteen-year journey to further investigate my numerous neuropathies. Additionally, in spite of multiple telephone calls and the multiple promises that an expected telephone call from the blood draw center Patient Advocate would occur, no attempts have has been recorded. Subsequent to many delays, originating with what may appear to be Dr. Carlile's support staff and/or the Palmetto Primary Care Physicians group, my seven-month journey with this organization has been a virtual waste of my time, resources, and Medicare benefits. The hope towards a better understanding and/or abatement to my almost constant pain has vanished. Understandably, I have lost confidence in this provider's abilities to deliver any future personal medical care. Sadly, this experience has not bolstered my confidence in traditional Western medical practices.

They know their stuff, and I never had a bad PA or MA in my entire 1.5 years going here. However, I needed a biopsy of my thyroid and the way in which I was treated by Dr. Henderson has me hesitant to recommend them, regardless of what they know. I went in for the biopsy fine, and left in tears. Since then, I've learned that I am not as sensitive to numbing agents as most people (meaning I require more than the average person). I was numbed up, but when she went to get the biopsy I could still feel the needle, and I told her that. She then got very annoyed with me, to the point that even her assistant in the room with us said maybe they should numb me more. Dr. Henderson responded (nastily) that I just needed to "SIT STILL." I kept telling her I could feel it and she finally huffed and stopped trying. Said I would need to be put to sleep to have one done in the future. I've been to other specialists since then and have not had experiences even CLOSE to that. Save yourself the stress of bad bedside manner. You don't have to let a doctor talk down to you just because they're an "expert." I hope for the sake of other patients things have changed. I know plenty of people have had fine experiences, but that's mine and I wanted to share it.
