Patient for orthoscopic knee surgery. Very dissatisfied with care, result and staff issues! ..., May 21, 2012 I had a knee (minuscus) surgery performed there in 2010. They indicated that I would be back to 100% in about 10 days after this orthosopic surgery. Instead, I have been plagued with pain ever since. I did all the therapy, taken cordizone and suparts to no avail. Along the way I have had issues with the staff over appointments and payments. They have claimed on two occasions that I was grossly delinquent on payments..... first example was when I was taking a 6 week round of supparts injections. They indicated at the start that the insurance paid it all, until they discovered that this wasn't true and upon one of my last visits for this, they initially tried to suspend any further treatment until my account was paid in full....something less than $100.00. Having serious pain issues, I booked an appointment with the Doctor, who I almost never saw, always relegated to a PA, and waited the ap[proximate two months to see the Dr, before the office staff called and said I owed them $106 and the Dr would not see me until I had paid this in full and all of this years deductible, in advance.... because of my past payment history..... a one time error, that they were responsible for. I believe, personally, that the Dr. violated his Hippocratic Oath when he refused to see me based upon this. His staff would not allow me to speak direct to him and then charged me .65 cents a page for my records. I have subsequently heard that this Dr. is great for shoulders, nut that knees are not his specialty. Based upon my experience, I would agree, since I still have a serious problem with my knee. Some months after the unsuccessful surgery, they indicated to me that I might be a good candidate for a whole knee replacement....something not even remotely on the radar before the orthoscopic minuscus surgery. Based upon the level of professionalism from the office staff and the fact that I have not achieved the desired level of health promised, I would not recommend this Dr. for any surgery or |

Horrible waste of time, I will not be seeing her again..., May 15, 2012 Visiting Dr. Smith was pointless. She was unfriendly, acted as if she didn't care about me or helping me get better, and talked down to me as if I was stupid. She prescribed me a pill and told me absolutely nothing about it nor how to take it or when. She did not tell me that I would need to drink more water than normal due to a side effect of the prescription. She also told me to take an OTC that had absolutely nothing to do with my symptoms and in actuality, if I took the OTC, it would cause adverse effects. I left her office in tears and needed to ask the pharmacist for all the information she should have given me in the first place. I was very disappointed and upset with my visit with her. I will never see her again. |

poor service, inaccurate information, disregard for patient values or input..., Dec 17, 2011 I am a white male in my 30s. I was operated on by Dr. McLemore for anal hpv. I do not recommend Dr. McLemore unless you are very desperate. I trusted her too much. She cut me up really bad and caused me unreasonable amounts of pain. She destroyed a lot of healthy tissue and I felt this was unnecessary. She never apologized or admitted that she made a mistake. She was unsympathetic and uncaring toward me when I was distraught and in pain. She was often impatient, cold, antagonistic and stubborn. She didn't seem to care about the pain or anxiety she caused me. She became antagonistic toward me and called me a risk to her practice because I felt I had had complications from the surgery. Some people love her, but I think if you have a bad experience, she will turn against you and become mean and uncaring. |

A friendly doctor who makes too many mistakes and then covers them over...., Dec 16, 2011 My husband and I both went to Dr. Hoing for about two years. She is very easy to talk with but makes too many mistakes. She has me on a medicine 20mg more than the doctor recommended dose. She also has not filled out paperwork for my care in over a month. She has made numerous mistakes with my husband as well. She has placed undo stress on our family and she in my opinion is not living up to her Hippocratic Oath: "I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick." We will no longer see her and we advise everyone to be careful who do seek her professional care. |
