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. |

Medical doctors shouldn't make mistakes even paper ones...., Dec 16, 2011 I have seen Dr. Hoing for 2 years. She has always been plesent and kind however her ability to function as a docter do to her case load, in my opinion, is sorely lacking. She has made numerous mistakes in my healthcare and paperwork that has so far only cost us financialy. Her constant lying again in my opinion to cover her butt further complicates me attaining the healthcare I need and has added undo stress to our family. |

unresponsive, indifferent medical office with lack of urgency..., Nov 29, 2011 Staff is cold, indifferent, with no sense of urgency. I was extremely concerned about some test results but when I called every few days to ask if they were in, I was made to feel that I was bothering them and there was no attempt to give me an idea of when they would be in, or to expedite results more quickly. I waited a half four to see the doctor, she looked at her watch and made me feel rushed when I was in for the exam. Medical advice seemed reasonable but the lack of urgency or empathy made it a frustrating experience. |

Fine needle aspiration for suspicious thyroid nodule..., Nov 4, 2011 I had an ultrasound to investigate a nodule found my endocrinologist. The us revealed some suspicious findings so a fine needle aspiration was scheduled. This Dr. rushed through an ultrasound provided by a tech that made me question her skills, and then pronounced that both the radiologist and the endo were incorrect in calling what I had a nodule nor was he concerned about it and he wouldn't do the aspiration. |

Healing wonderful exclent awesome fantastic joy peace..., Sep 22, 2011 Dr. Shah and his staff have a 6 yr realtionship with me. I ws not his most strat forward case to say the least. But when no one else would treat me there he was. With his warm smile and friendly bedside manner, telling me I was going to be ok. I went to Dr. not because I was in an accident, but because one morning I woke up and could not open my mouth, and I was in such pain that at that point giving birth to a baby elephant would have been easier, and less painful. By the time I seen Dr. I had lost over 80lbs because I was unalbe to open my mouth nothing was getting in and even water was hard to swallow. I had been in and out of the hospital several times and at one point doctors told me I would need a feeding tube. But then came Dr Shah, something in his eyes told me I was going to be saved, and here it is 6yrs later. I am 3months out of a complete replacement of the RT. Jaw and I feel FANTASTIC! I cried yesterday not in pain, but in joy. I eat my first apple in 6yrs! Dr Shah gave that to me. What a gift! I owe him and his wonderful staff so very much. There are no words but I will try. You gave me back my joy, sanity, smile and my life. I promise not to waste it. Many THANKS from the bottom of my heart Dr. Shah. |
