Better Plastic surgeons in Mobile, doesn't know insurance procedure, non caring..., May 17, 2012 Hard time getting a return phone call once your procedure is over with. Dr and staff are 20 years behind on covered procedures with insurance. Certainly will NOT return a phone call about insurance after your claim is denied, and will screen your calls about that matter. They charge up front, so they have their money, and could care less if you get reimbursed or not. When I was upset about having to have the procedure done, I started crying. Dr Proffitt just walked out of the room! |

0/10. Dr. Mendel's sloppy medical practice set me back over 2 years worth of training progress...., Apr 10, 2012 I injured my shoulder in 2010 while training with a barbell. This is the doctor I ended up going with while looking for a sports medicine doctor who specializes in shoulders. After waiting 3 months for my appointment, and 45 minutes waiting at their office for my appointment, I got maybe 5 minutes of time with the doctor. He ignored me completely when I tried explaining the type of pain I'm going through, and when the injury occurred. He injected my shoulder with cortizone, and told me it was just inflammation. In 2012, my shoulder is getting worse, to the point where I can't ignore the pain at all. I schedule an appointment with a different doctor and the University of Iowa, and on the first appointment, they schedule an arthrogram and MRI. The MRI confirmed that I have a tear in my labrum. If Dr. Mendel would have listened to me, this would have been dealt in 2010, and I would be able to continue training. But now I need surgery, and recovery looked like it'll take between 6-12 months. I can't train during that time. All this because Dr. Mendel refused to give quality healthcare (but still charge a premium healthcare price). My only regret is that this review will give Dr. Mendel 1 star, when it's currently at 0. |

bad doc xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx..., Mar 29, 2012 My wife went to him with a kidney infection. He said her uretheal tube was obstructed and he would need to operate. He said a simple operation wit a 6" scar and she would be all better. The scar turned into an 18' scar when we asked why he didn't have a reason. He had put a stint in the tube until it healed. He removed the stint causing my wife extreme pain. She developed a fever and had to be rushed to the E.R. The Doctor in the E.R. suggested we go to the Mayo Clinic. The Doctors there couldn't believe the scar and one doctor said he butchered you. I filed a complaint with the Iowa Board of Medicine and two weeks later we received a letter from McFarland Clinic saying we are banned from McFarland Clinics from now on. |

Dr. Lawrence McNally (visited for a cold)**********..., Mar 8, 2012 I visited Dr. McNally for a cold. His bedside manor was aloof, disengaged and unfeeling. I don't recommend this doctor to anyone. ******************************************************************************* |

Go some where else besides Pulmonary Associates. Lousy service..., Feb 2, 2012 His uncertified assistant does everything. Diagnoses you and prescribes medication. Then the Doctor comes in and does nothing. No check up or anything. All this after waiting 1 1/2 Hrs. in a room. Doctor compares everything to car parts. Must have been former mechanic. Doesn't explain anything. Just tell you that happens to everyone. Didn't bother to look at CT scan. |
