Id find someone else if I was really needing help because they have shown that they don't care to even return a telephone call. You can tell this is a common practice when you read other people's reviews. After seeing the CRNP, she had a meltdown and started crying because I ask her to explain the charges on my bill. She couldn't explain it. Was double charged for every visit. A $155 charge for a so called office visit and another $120 for a 45 minute session. THIS IS CRAZY. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. What type therapist has a full blown meltdown and ask you to leave and still charges you? This one. I actually thought that I needed to swap seats with her. So very UNPROFESSIONAL.

The medical director, William M. Roddy, DO provided the very best medical care anywhere! I have…read moreknown of countless patients of his who credit him for saving their lives! He was beyond a brilliant physician! An extremely talented yet very compassionate man who truly cared about his patients yet obviously wasn't concerned about revenue. He was selfless, consistently put his patients needs before his own. I have talked with many people including some that told me he was their doctor and they had been to up to 14 other doctors including major medical center teams of doctors. They said that none of them could find out what was wrong with them and were no able to help them. They said that within minutes of their first visit to Dr. Roddy was able to determine what things were wrong with me. Within 2 days of him treating him they were at least 95% better. The people I spoke with said they were certain that God sent them to Dr.Roddy. Patients knew that Dr. Roddy had severe neck and back problems. I heard through the grapevine that Dr. Roddy went to California to have his mid back operated on and that he woke up paralyzed with zero feeling from the waist down. From what I was told, the neurosurgeon, Henry E. Aryan, MD tried to perform a surgery that he had only seen once during his training that was reserved exclusively for young children with spinal tumors or brain tumors. Dr. Aryan admitted that he did not explore the surgery area before the wound was closed and that he didn't check his condition before he hurriedly left the hospital. This was confirmed by the recovery room nurses. Also, they called Dr. Aryan on his beeper, cell phone and home phone constantly for 6 hours and left him detailed messages about Dr. Roddy's condition. I was informed by several reliable sources that after around 6 hours and 25 minutes later Dr. Aryan arrived at Dr. Roddy's recovery room with a strong smell of alcohol on him. Dr. Roddy had a an RN friend with him the entire time. Dr. Aryan had Dr. Roddy rushed to get a CAT scan of his mid back. An extremely large blood clot and countless sharp bone fragments compressed his spinal cord so much that permanently ruined and tore his spinal cord. I happened to see a close friend of Dr. Roddy's and he told me that Dr. Aryan said to Dr. Roddy that there was almost no chance that Dr. Roddy would ever be able to move his lower extremities again. I was told that Dr. Roddy and his nurse demanded that Dr. Aryan tell them why he didn't find the blood clot and the bone fragments before closing, ( it's a given that all doctors who operate always explore and thoroughly irrigate the wound before closing.) Dr. Aryan said he just didn't explore. I understand that Dr. Aryan asked Dr. Roddy if he wanted him to take him back to surgery and remove the blood clot and the bone fragments. Dr. Roddy told him that he definitely did. After the second surgery he was still paralyzed from the waist down. I was also told that Dr. Roddy developed pneumonia and severe shortness of breath. The hospital had a neurologist intensive care unit and another ICU as well. However in spite of the fact that Dr. Roddy was in critical condition Dr. Aryan refused to tender him and kept him on a regular floor bed where there was no monitoring on him. After surgery Dr. Roddy knew that he had an intestinal obstruction. The entire 11 days Dr. Roddy was in the hospital Dr.. Aryan did not see him one time, in spite of the fact that he promised Dr. Roddy and his nurse that he would come see at one or two times per day. Also, from an internet complaint written by Dr. Roddy I read that Dr. Aryan followed Dr. Roddy on his gurney back to his room after the second surgery and wrote his cell phone number on a card and told Dr. Roddy to call him on his anytime he wanted to speak with him whether was day or during the middle of the night. I read where he told TDr. Roddy that he was here for him. Dr. Roddy's complaint read that when after 36 the P.A. of Aryan's wouldn't get Aryan to come see him he told the PA that if he didn't get a gastroenterologist ASAP his colon would perforate and it would surely kill him. My nurse and I told him that if I died not he be sued and charged with wrongful death but Dr. Aryan and the entire hospital would be served notice as well. I read that within minutes a gastroenterologist showed up and took Dr. Roddy to surgery immediately. I understand that he harshly scolded the PA and told him that a gastroenterologist should have been called to see him as soon as his whole abdomen had no bowel sounds which was just after Dr. Roddy's second surgery. I read where the told all of them that it was a miracle that Dr. Roddy's intestines hadn't perforated hours before. In closing, I read where Dr. Roddy wrote in a complaint that he called Dr. Aryan's cell phone and it went to voicemail. According to Roddy's complaint he left a voicemail for Dr. Aryan. Later he found he was blocked.
