I would not recommend this physician given my experience...., Feb 7, 2012 I would not recommend this physician given my experience. Poor communications and lack of understanding. Referrals were non-compassionate and useless. Five years and my condition has grown worse. Typical commodified, non-caring, so called, "health care." My interests wre not served. His were every time. |

Provided extremely poor treatment for my father's cancer..., Jan 25, 2012 Dr. D. treated my dad's throat cancer (a term he never used with any of us). Dad responded very well to chemo and would have to remain on chemo the rest of his life. (His tumor in his neck had burst and he had a nasty wound that he had to deal with, but even it was doing well as he was switched to a milder chemo routine to keep the cancer from growing. And he was doing really well with that treatment.) Dad developed a knee infection and Dr. D stopped all treatment until knee doc released him. Dr. D continued to ignore my phone calls that dad's neck wound was really looking bad, saying he could do nothing for him at this time. Finally, knee doc suggested knee treatment be put on hold so cancer could be treated. So Dad went to see Dr. D and he still said there wasn't anything he could do right now, and he refused to look at his neck when asked to (of course, dad kept it bandaged). We brought dad to Louisville for treatment, but it was too late by then. The oncology doctors in Louisville were just mortified at his neck and the treatment he had received. They found it unimaginable that Dr. D. never looked at his neck (the actual cancer) and ignored his cancer treatment during the course of treatment of the knee infection (9 weeks approximately). Of course, we are heartbroken. I only tell my story in the hopes of helping someone else. In the end, dad regretted mine and my sister's pleas to get a second opinion in Louisville from the beginning. That one step could have changed everything. I hope this review helps someone make a better choice in choosing their oncologist. |

Dr Moorthy review who is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone..., Dec 17, 2011 She is an awesome surgeon. She takes the time to sit down with you and explain everything that is going on. She also has a wonderful power point. I am glad my primary doctor recommended her. She and her staff are very knowledgeable. I would recommend and have to anyone. |

Stay Away from this one-he is using scare tactics...., Oct 12, 2011 I went to this Doctor for a very specific job required test. After a cursory exam he tried to sell me a test that was not required and suggested that he needed to implant a device into my heart that is not indicated for my condition. He also tried to put me on a medication that another Doctor IN HIS OWN PRACTICE had determined was bad for me. |

great doctor in Richmond West End/ Pulmonary Associates of Richmond..., Aug 16, 2011 I took my dad to see Dr. Haft for COPD. Dr. Haft was very considerate and honest in his discussion and rational for treatment. He spent a great deal of time sorting out ways to improve dad's quality of life and wellbeing. WE are very thankful for his excelletn care |
