Report
I had surgery and three weeks later, the surgical site was swollen, red and hot. As instructed by the Dr. I called and told them I needed to come in and be seen by the Dr. and why. The receptionist wanted to put me in 10 days later. I explained what was going on. She sent me to the nurse who argued more and finally said she would go talk to the Dr. The Dr. Supposedly said she would see me 7 days from then but would call me in an antibiotic. 5 days after my skin split open and the next day, infection poured and poured out of the site.
I called and told them I would be in that morning and why. They still wanted to argue after I told them what happened and said the Dr. Wasn't in but the nurse would see me. I get in there and the nurse decided to call the Dr. which finally decided it was serious and came in. I have never dealt with such a neglagent staff and Dr. I would NEVER recommend rhis office to anyone. And yes, the infection was MRSA!
I then was places on an antibiotic that fights that after sitting six days with infection inside of me that can be deadly. These people need to be working somewhere else. Worse Staff of so called caretakers ever!
