I WAS IN PENN HIGHLANDS DUBOIS, PENNSYLVANIA. I was in a horrific auto accident. I never saw an orthopedic doctor. I had broken ribs in the front and back, 2 fractured vertebrae in my neck, 2 broken legs, a broken ankle, brain bleed, and a lacerated spleen. I was moved to "rehab" on my 3rd day in the hospital -- far too soon. Why? Because my paperwork was LOST!!! I was expected to "hop" on one leg in order to use a walker -- with 2 broken legs and 11 broken ribs! The follow up xray of my ribs showed 3 displaced rib fractures that still weren't healed, yet the PA (NOT A DOCTOR) that I saw didn't feel that a follow up xray to ensure healing was necessary. I finally got an MRI of my one leg and broken ankle that continue to give me pain almost 4 months later. I've waited over a month for a brace for my knee that should have had surgery to stop the bone marrow from bleeding out into the knee joint/space (which is what is causing this pain) I finally received it, and it looks like it was used as a demo. It was put in a bag that was trashed with no booklet, directions, or resource phone number. When I called the office to let them know (as I presume this company is hired by them), the person that answered the phone was very nonchalant. I still haven't received a phone call regarding the MRI of my ankle which showed another broken bone that hasn't healed. I expected care and concern, but that is not at all what I got. From my care in the hospital to my care afterwards, my veterinarian would have treated me better. I would not recommend PENN HIGHLAND DUBOIS as a TRAUMA hospital to anyone. read more

Don't even bother to make an appointment with Jolene Stell-PA-C as she cares nothing at all for anyone but herself. I was told that Dr Nartadas would be out for most of the month of May, would I mind seeing his PA instead. I agreed and had an appointment in early May for my knee. This would mean waiting nearly 2 months to get in. The day finally arrived, a great sunny day after weeks of dreary cold weather and I received a call that Stell had called in sick. Rescheduled for May 31, day after Memorial Day. Received a call on Friday before the holiday weekend, she cancelled again. Apparently had more important plans for the day after the holiday. Couldn't get in till July 21. I told them to stuff it. If that is how she cares for patients I want nothing to do with her. Called Mt Nittany Health and will be seeing a PA there June 20. Wish I had called them initially. I probably would have already had surgery by now instead of waiting 3 months while Stell goes out having a good time and saying the hell with patients read more
