Buyer Beware This Dr. barely takes time to talk to the patient, then blindsides the family member...., Feb 9, 2012 I took my Mom in for a migraine. She had not slept for five days because of it and was hallucinating. Dr. Gagan didn't consider that her blood pressure meds. or her migraine meds or the meds they were giving her in an I. V. could have caused this. Or the fact that her thyroid was off. He recommended Resperidal for her. He left the info with me and split, his visit with her all of two minutes or so. I read the med. info and thought he was trying to kill her. It was for schizophrenics mainly. He also said it was for depression. I told him the next day I thought she just needed some sleep. He returned the next day pushing the same drug. I again answered in the negative. A few hours later the pill came via the nurse. At that point I thought I had no choice, as my last two answers had gone unnoticed. I foolishly gave my Mom the med. She became paranoid and scared for her life for the next three days. I was told they didnt know if she would ever be the same. She had two seizures and is now on Keppra. His only reply was that he could give her a different set of meds. He is cold and easily offended. He left me and the other Dr.s and nurses to clean up his mess. It took us eight days total. All over a migraine. All Dr.s covered for him. I'll never forgive myself for not fighting him to the death if thats what it took to defend my helpless Mom. |

Dr. Samuel Lam, Lam Facial Plastics, Fat Grafting...., Dec 30, 2011 Mr. Lam said he just wanted to make my face “Look Beautiful” with fat grafting but he made me look like I have Cushings and one eye looks more lopsided than the other. He injected fat into my brows and now I permanently like an angry man. He tells people what they want to hear and told me it would get better, it didn’t it got worse and more lopsided over the years. I’m an adult, least he could have done was be honest instead of telling me nonsense to make himself sound knowledgeable. He is bloody eloquent and so confident you can’t help but believe him and not realize he has atrocious technical ability. He charged just under $9000 which is the biggest ripoff in the history of mankind. What enfuriates me is that he’s had failed surgeries before and he violated their civil rights by having those ratings removed by his lawyers and cronies at Medical Justice. Those POSTINGS COULD HAVE SAVED MY LIFE from this person and I wish more than anything that I need not be writing this right now. |

Saved my life. He is a great doctor and very compassionate..., Nov 3, 2011 I had severe abdominal pain and came to the ER for help. Dr. Metheny listened to me. He treated my pain and ordered a cat scan. He found out that I had a ruptured diverticulitis. I got admitted and had emergency surgery. |

Bad communication, lack of after care and follow up, sloppy staff. ..., Oct 24, 2011 I went to Dr Willis after a car accident, she has prescribed various meds and failed to call me with my MRI results after a week of waiting. When I called the office the girl who answered the phone just blurted out "oh yeah we have the results and we are referring you for an epidural"!! The doctor never called me to discuss the findings of my MRI and then was passing messages to the girl who answered the phone rather than being a real doctor and talking to me herself. The girl who answers the phone is usually on personal calls discussing her own health issues which is horribly unprofessional. I am disgusted with the lack of Dr patient care and will be looking to change doctors once I can find a good one. |

***************HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, DO NOT USE!!!! ..., Oct 12, 2011 I went to the ER with what was diagnosed as gallstones and needed gall bladder removal surgery. He was sweet and funny and told me to call and schedule the surgery for thurs or fri with one of his associates because he would not be able to fit me in the following day, but if he had been able to, he would have admitted me. I called the next day, they told me I needed to go in for a consult, meaning missing more work so that they could get more money?! WHAT?! I said well, I was just supposed to schedule surgery, he already did the exam and history at the hospital, so it's just the paperwork? could you please have him call me since this is not what he told me and I had another person with me that confirmed the same story as I was saying? He called me back, was rude and condecending and told me that he was referring me to another group because I would not want a dr that is unhappy with what I was saying performing my surgery! is that a THREAT?! I was in excruiating pain and he's going to play games?! |
