  Why, tuvi, why. Why did you leave me to have so much pain!..., Apr 12, 2013

Why Tuvi, Why? Why did you not make a correct diagnosis? You could plainly see what was going on. If you had, SO much pain, so many problems, issues, etc could have been avoided. Why didn't you listen to me, when I pleaded with you? Why Tuvi, why? I wasn't in pain before, now I suffer constantly and have to endure endless pain. Why Tuvi, WHY?

  ALWAYS IN PAIN. ALWAYS IN PAIN. ALWAYS IN PAIN. ALWAYS!..., Dec 21, 2012

tuvi mendel NEVER diagnosed a painful, debilitating post op staph infection. Leaving me with considerable damage and ongoing pain. I pleaded with him that it had to be infected. He insisted repeatedly it was not.............It WAS. Why tuvi, why!!!! The symptoms were SO obvious.

  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.

  Not a happy Doctor, seems depressed, unsure of himself...., Jun 5, 2013

Dr. Roman Tusinski does not seem to be a happy person or enjoying his job. He is very hesitant about his with his ability to make a decision. I do not think I have ever seen him smile, so how would you interpret that?? UNSURE? INSECURE? You be the judge if you elect to see him, I will leave it at that my friends. You can voice your freedom of speach as well.
  Appalled and Disappointed in my 4 Visits With Doctor..., May 5, 2013

This doctor is rude, doesn't listen to patients and your wait time to see her will be no shorter than 1 hour. Your appointment will be rushed, she will not answer your questions, but will walk quickly out the door to go to her next patient. Her entire set up of work is designed to make as much money as possible and keep the patient sick. She has 3 cars. 2 Mercedes and an Audi and acts like she is God. There is some serious narcissism going on and she needs to stop stealing money from vulnerable patients.
  Short doctors office visit went really well, all things considered. :)..., Mar 28, 2013

This was my first time seeing Dr. Lazar. I had to take my kids with me because of spring break. The east Memphis office has a great kids room that is plainly visible in the waiting room. That was a great way to keep them occupied during the wait. Once I saw Dr. Lazar, things went really well. He listened to what I had to say and asked probing questions. After a short examination, I was on my way. As far as these things go, it was a pleasing experience.
  Good staff, horrible "doctor" - Wallet stuffer versus actual clinician ..., Feb 10, 2013

In a few words? - Horrible bed side manner; dodged questions and threatened to quit when we inquired about alternative treatment methods. This dude is older than the internet as we know it and he was throwing hissy-fits like a rabid Bieber-fan. - Extremely pessimistic. Every conversation boiled down to DEATH. Look, I get that cancer is no walk in the park, but rubbing our faces in it is counterproductive and honestly, believe it or not, does more harm than good. After the nth time of being told "HE IS GOING TO DIE," we stopped talking to him about and kept his patient visits short. - Biggest gripe? Cancer research is a constantly developing field and new, novel discoveries are made often enough that you might spot it in the newspaper or online. It should have been a huge red flag when this so-called M.D. was absolutely clueless about significant changes in our understanding of how cancer works. Final remarks? He gave up on our father when we walked through the door the first time. Had we known of his lazy, outdated way of treatment, we would have walked right back out of that room without hesitation.
  Dr Laurence Dahners (UNC Orthopedics) is a dangerous doctor..., Jan 26, 2013

I had osteomyelitis and Dr. Dahners lied to me and told me I did not. It was either he lied or he is incompetent. Dahners mocked me and said I was malnourished. He was just blame mean and egotistical.
