adolyn says "The worst hospital in lexington ky." about Central Baptist Hospital - lexington, KY

adolyn — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 09:40:29 GMT

Oh where do i began? My experience at this hospital was so horrific , I barely know where to start. First off, if you ever find yourself in Lexington ky and having a medical emergency DO NOT, let me repeat- DON NOT PUT YOUR LIFE IN CENTRAL BAPTIST EMERGENCY ROOM CARE!!! It is obvious they don't teach humanesness at this hospital. When a person is sick, the last thing they need is a smart -alex nurse that makes them feel as if they have commited a crime by even coming there for help. I suffer from siezures so I have made a few trips to the emergency room. But Central Babtist takes the cake as far as uncaring and just plain out rude!!!! There are so many thing sot complain about. One was the nurse who brought me the mdicine i needed. It so happened that i needed some potassium one night and she brought some big horse pills for me to swallow even after i had told her i had problems swallowing pills. I know for a fact potassium even comes in liquid form so there was no excuse for the......

kare620bear says "Not my first choice" about Focus Women's Care -

kare620bear — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:12:52 GMT

I came to Focus Women's Care when my previous Dr no longer accepted my insurance. My first impression was that it was quite small. As I entered the building my second impression was that it was run down and cold. My previous Dr had a wonderful waiting room that was warm and relaxing. This place not so much. The staff seemed polite, but maybe a little lost. The Dr came in wasn't too warm, but wasn't impolite either. He seemed like he had better things to do. I think I may just have to find a new Dr.

Money57 says "Dr. Joseph Herren in the greatest doctor!" about Dr. Joseph Herren - Rome Internal Medicine - Rome, GA

Money57 — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 01:31:56 GMT

If you live in the Rome, GA area, have I got a doctor for you? Dr. Joseph Herren, internal medicine, is with Coosa Valley Medical group. He is the kindest, most caring doctor I have ever been to. He has been my doctor for 20 years, and I dread the day he tells me he is retiring. Several years ago, I had to have colon surgery. Even though the surgeon came in daily, Dr. Herren did also, sometimes at 10PM! I recently lost my job, and my insurance, and he is working with my husband and myself to continue giving us the same great coverage we had when we had insurance. I don't know if he is currently taking new patients as he was in the summer, but if you can get him--do so. It's one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have referred him to my sister and my best friend, and they both feel the same way. In his early years, he had a tumor behind his knee. Today his leg is stiff, and at the end of the day he is dragging that leg, but he always has a smile on his face.

Amber12477 says "This Hospital Is The Worst" about Benedictine Hospital - Kingston, NY

Amber12477 — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:48:44 GMT

This hospital Is a JOKE I went there plenty of times and they have yet to help me! They told me my sickness is in my head and I need to be on depression pills. They stick in a room for HOURS on end and tell me nothing. I went there recently with chest pains trouble breathing and the whole left side of my body went numb and they kept me for 2 hours then sent me home and told me I was fine. The next day It got worse and I could barley talk because the left side of my face also went numb. They do not care about their patients they act as if we are there to bother them and make their life harder when all I was trying to do was get help when it was needed. I went to my regular doctor ordered tests and found out that I have a heart issue that they didnt bother to take the time to try and figure out! The doctors and nurses and not nice by any means and have NOT a clue what they are doing. If you have to go to the hospital dont waste your time with this one you wont get anything taken care of!

Tiredofthegames says "Really Bad!" about Yooson Kim - Family Dentistry - Morgantown , PA

Tiredofthegames — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:48:10 GMT

Dr. Kim is not the kind dentist she makes herself out to be. I would highly recommend that you go elsewhere. Her first and foremost concern is how much money she is going to make out f the deal. We were going through a job change and she very concerned that our new employer did not carry an insurance she accepted. She wanted us to get all kinds of work done before the end date. She has called 4 times already to ask for our new insurance info. Is it any of her business? We haven't called because we are not going back! Not to mention we just found out that she filled two of my son's teeth that had no damage to them. Also, found out that she did a root canal on my husband and a traditional filling would have been just fine!

amieratliffbarnes says "Not the best in Louisville" about Norton Suburban - St Matthews, KY

amieratliffbarnes — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:27:40 GMT

I've visited this hospital on more than one occasion for either myself, my husband, or a family member.

I was not please with the service at all. When going to the ER, I felt as if no matter the reason for going, they were truly unconcerned & was just a number to the staff.

The wait was awful. On one visit, we got up & left to go somewhere else. The waiting room was packed, dirty, & it appeared the staff was short handed at each visit.

The nurses seemed overwhelmed & not as well trained as at other facilities in the area.

I have friends who have given birth at this hospital & I've visited. The rooms are cramped & just not at all comfortable.

The worst part is the parking. I've had to go there for tests or to visit a Doctor who's office is inside the building. It takes 15 minutes to circle the garage & find a place to park. Then you have to take the hike into the hospital. Make sure you remember when your car is parked because, you have to hike back out to...

hllywdprncss76 says "12mins late for appt & having asmtha attack Dr refused to see me" about Dr Davidovich - Talbert Medical Group - Huntington Beach, CA

hllywdprncss76 — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 18:50:29 GMT

I have been having problems with my asmtha so when I finally am seen by my asmtha/allergy Doctor I am ecstatic to be seen. However that joy was short lived due to how I was treated not only by the waiting room staff as well as Dr Davidovich's nurse. I knew I was going to be a few minutes late to my appointment so I called at 11:45am to let them know. However, spending 15 minutes on hold then to be disconnected only led to my frustration. Since I was also taking a bus that did not help matters. I arrived at my 1pm appointment and went straight to check in after waiting many minutes for the lady at the counter to finish her personal call it was 1:12 and she was EXTREMELY rude and said she would have to check with the Dr if I could be seen or not. By this time I am starting to have an asmtha attack. Was I seen by my Doctor? No I was refused so what was I to do?

I then had to walk three miles while having an asmtha attack to the other location where I could recieve a breathing treatment...

jrhe980d says "Terrible Communication- 3 days never seen a doctor" about CAMC Charleston General Hospital Charleston WV - Charleston, WV

jrhe980d — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 17:41:31 GMT

3 days, never seen a doctor, nurses do not know the condition of their patients, and they are unconcerned about them. Even rude to the families and patients most of the time. In order for me (the daughter) to get specific information on my mother's conditon, I had to go to the Administration manager of the hospital (Mike), where he had the nursing station manager come, to have a meeting. In a traumatic time, I had to waste my time speaking with the head of the hospital in order to get them to give us information and make the doctors visit with our family. This hospital does not care about the patients or the patients families. I have been to numerous hospitals (unfortunetly). In NC, NY, WV. This by far, is the worst I have ever seen.

My mother's skin was turning yellow with Jondis. We demanded they take a blood test in order to find out what was going on. This was after 4 days in the hospital and telling them she was yellow all along. she had damaged her liver in her car accident. Why...

Annie904 says "STAY away from the E.R. at Baptist South" about Baptist South Hospital - Baptist Medical Center South - Jacksonville, FL

Annie904 — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 18:26:12 GMT

I was in that hospital emergency room a few times in 2007 and I will never forget the horrible experience. I needed abdominal surgery for my gallbladder and they didn't understand. The nurses were horrible down there, the E.R. doctors were worse if possible! The admission doctors were a joke! I told them it was my gallbladder but they didn't believe me.

The doctors and nurses treated me like I was crazy, and told me I was stressed. YEAH I was after dealing with them. They really caused me to suffer needlessly and very badly.

It turns out that my gallbladder was badly infected and inflamed.

I have never been so sick in my life and these so called E.R. medical staffing people are unprofessional, incompetent and plain lazy, RUDE, not to mention confused. I presented with horrible diarrehea, nausea, vomiting, fainting, very low blood pressure, severe abdominal pain, severe dehydration, irregular and rapid heart beat and one doctor didn't even want to give me...

smilingangel212000 says "whole staff is unprofessional" about Ronald R. Samess, MD - Ronald R. Samess, MD Family Practice - Marathon, FL

smilingangel212000 — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:19:13 GMT

This office is terrible, I only went a couple of times. The first time I went the office staff ask me what was my co-pay, it was weird because most doctors office I went to knew ahead and what my/others co-pays were. I thought that was very unprofessional. I gave them another chance and this time I went for myself, the first time I went for my daughter but when I went they were also unprofessional, I was discussing things with the doctor and his phone rang. He answered it than walked outside to talk, I thought that was bad manners. Please do not go to this place, oh and also we also saw roaches in the bathroom. Makes you wonder how clean and sanitize the place is.

bkovacs says "Great location and efficient care" about Inova Woodburn Surgery Center -

bkovacs — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:23:29 GMT

My wife recently had foot surgery, and she had it at the Inova Woodburn Surgery Center. Located just 100 yards from the intersection of the Capital Beltway (I-495) and Gallows Road in Annandale, VA, the Inova Woodburn Surgery Center is close to my home. I do not know if it is associated with nearby Inova Fairfax Hospital, a huge and highly regarded hospital in this area.

Inova Woodburn Surgery Center supports a lot of different outpatient surgery, taking cases that free up the operating rooms at the hospital. I spoke to a woman at Inova Woodburn and she said that the center used to specialize in eye surgery, but that it now does a variety of surgeries. She said that she appreciated the variety.

As for my wife, she had foot surgery by a foot specialist that she's seen a few times. The physician is an orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in foot and ankle problems. My wife really likes the doctor but doesn't particularly like his office, which she finds chaotic and inefficient. However, she...

couponbliss says "Great Doctor, Great Office!!" about Kevin Germino - - Orland Park, IL

couponbliss — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 04:34:35 GMT

My girlfriend recommended Dr. Kevin Germino when I was pregnant with my first daughter. He is great!! His office is great, his partners Drs. Span and Bornstein are great. He is not arrogant and doesn't play the "I am doctor so listen to me because I am more educated than you because I went to med school." He has 5 children of his own and will tell you what he recommends based not only on medicine, but from his personal experience. I really can't say enough about him! And, Barb, Mary and the rest of the nurses, they rock!! I now have 3 children and am thankful they are under his watchful eye!!

I ask a lot of questions and he always answers them like I am at his level. I've have had doctors pretty much answer me wtih "I am the doctor here". It is rude. He's not like that! My kids are sometimes scared (go figure) and he'll walk into the room being very goofy, which makes them smile.

chelbelle1986 says "If your looking for a pediatrician, I recomen Dr. Abueg." about Dr. Abueg - Lordes Pediatric - Binghamton, NY

chelbelle1986 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:49:57 GMT

When your having a new baby finding the right pediatrician can be hard. Dr. Abueg was recommended to me by a family member. Her daughters, 3 and 13, both see him and she gave him rave review so he was the doctor we chose.

Dr Abueg was on call in the hospital when my daughter was born. She had a few minor problems due to the fact that I had very low amniotic fluid by the time she was born. As a first time parent I was a mess but he was very thorough in ruling out any major problems and within a day my daughter was well and ready to go home.

Now we see Dr. Abueg at his office. My daughter loves him as he spends a lot of time talking to her and entertaining her while he does his exams. It is very obvious that the man loves children and working with them. He never rushes through the appointment and spends lots of time answering any questions we have. The nurse staff is also very friendly and they also spend a lot of time answering any questions. They are very good about...

megatans says "After Hours Family Practice Is the best!!!!!!" about Pam Ivey - After Hours Family Practice - Boiling Springs, SC

megatans — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:02:19 GMT

After Hours Family Practice in Boiling Springs, SC is the best physicians office I have ever been to. Mrs. Pam Ivey is wonderful. She is caring, compassionate, and is not just in this business for the money. A standard doctors visit is only $50. She tries to be affordable so that everyone can receive the care that they need. She also understands that there are several people out there, like myself and my family, that do not have health insurance coverage during such tough economic times. After hours even offers sports physicals for local students for only $20.

After Hours Family Practice is open convenient hours to serve their patients and keep overhead cost down. They are open Monday - Friday 2PM to 8PM and other times by appointment. Everyone there is very friendly and they try to get patients in and out as quickly as possible. Appointments are not required and they don't leave patients sitting out in the lobby for hours like other physicians offices do.

I feel that...

allysmama says "Wonderful, caring doctor with a zany bedside manner." about Dr Thomas J Antalik - - Roxboro, NC

allysmama — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:11:52 GMT

I first encountered Dr. Antalik when my husband was admitted to the emergency room with a deep laceration of his left knee and leg. The laceration had to be cleaned and was severe enough that the tendon had been damaged. Dr. Antalik had to debreed the area and he had to sew up the tendon and the outer skin. My husband is an awful patient and he was put at ease by Dr. Antalik's zany personality. He actually explained the entire procedure to us, in terms we could understand without a medical degree. Months later, Dr. Antalik handled my husbands ' colonoscopy procedure and put a very scared patient at ease. When my husband was in an accident and obtained a leg injury, Dr. Antalik saved his leg when another doctor failed to diagnose the infection. Dr. Antalik has handled the MRSA flare ups that have caused hospitalizations for both my husband and myself. My father was in an accident and needed surgery, Dr. Antalik took our emergency phone call and cut his trip short to come...

cubbie4life says "Excellent Dentist" about Dr. Benjamin Fiss - Chicago, IL

cubbie4life — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 01:40:44 GMT

Dr Fiss does more than any other dentist will ever do I guarantee you that. His work ethic is top notch, his experience is incomparable. I have never met a man so driven to satisfy his patients and make time for us as Dr Fiss does day in day out. I have hectic hours and work is so demanding so I have the tendency to be late (unintentionally) so I piss off a lot of doctors dentists and I ended being charged with out being seen-total BS.Then I went to Dr Fiss who understood my position and scheduled times around my schedule not the other way around. Saturday appointments aren't bad either, but I finally some one who treats me as if I am the most important person and he delivers through and through.

FrankSN says "Miracle Doctor in Houston TEXAS" about Dr. John Huang - Westchase Wellness Chiropractic Center - Houston, TX

FrankSN — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:25:34 GMT

Dr. John Huang is a great Chiropractor. He's helped with my asthma, which I've been suffering for years. When I came in to see Dr. Huang for my back pain and headache, during the history exam, he noticed my asthma history. After just 12 weeks of adjustments with the Standard Process nutrition supplement he recommended, my headache and asthmas symptoms went away.

He also helped with my wife's adrenal system. Now she has more energy and sleep better at night.

Dr. Huang is a doctor you need for your whole family!
