Beware of this doctor - on the surface, appears to be ok but actually not..., Feb 7, 2012 This doctor is not accepting of the opinions of any other medical personnel. She wishes to be the only person with a say in what the patient will do and disregards any second opinions that don't correspond with her own. Her staff is not friendly and has even been known to yell at patients on the phone. If you do see this doctor, I highly suggest you regularly request copies of your records in order to keep track of what she is putting in them. I was blindsided by the comments she made in mine. |

Go some where else besides Pulmonary Associates. Lousy service..., Feb 2, 2012 His uncertified assistant does everything. Diagnoses you and prescribes medication. Then the Doctor comes in and does nothing. No check up or anything. All this after waiting 1 1/2 Hrs. in a room. Doctor compares everything to car parts. Must have been former mechanic. Doesn't explain anything. Just tell you that happens to everyone. Didn't bother to look at CT scan. |

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. |

misdiagnosed and dismissed by this doctor serious condition..., Jan 6, 2012 Extremely friendly and bright, saw him for years while he couldn't figure out my medical issue. When it worsened extremely and I fell violently ill for weeks, I pressed him for an answer and he became angry, dismissive and misdiagnosed me. Finally, he sent a referral in the mail, with instructions to call his office, but his office couldn't find a specialist for me (liver) and he put no urgency on the referral. I had to find my own surgeon and it took me months to get in as a self referred person. Surgeon wanted to operate the following week, it was that serious. |
