Adam Corn, Asheville, NC


Rating: 1 out of 5.

This doctor accused me of rejecting all of his recommendations. When I asked him what he was referring to he said that I had insisted that I had pneumonia despite a clear chest x-ray. I assured him that that had never happened and that he must have me mixed up with someone else. He ignored what I said. Also, presumably knowing that I can't take Nsaids he recommended ibuprofen for my neck ache and when I corrected him he said that I didn't let him finish and that he was going to say that I should take something like ibuprofen but not that. A likely story. Not a very smart guy.

Did not believe symptoms. I have pain in my hip and knee. She yelled at me as I walked away that everything looked fine. I went to a chiropractor who took an X-ray. It turns out I have severe arthritis in my left hip. She is useless. A hateful person. Maybe she should be an embalmer.

Wayne Brackenrich, 6415 Peters Creek Road, Roanoke, VA, 24179


Rating: 5 out of 5.

I just wanna say that Dr.Wayne Brackenrich is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had. He has a great bedside manner and takes great care of me. He’s great at explaining everything to me and he’s very knowledgeable and always gets back to me in a timely manner for lab or x-ray results and he takes his time with me at my appointments. Best doctor I’ve ever had and I appreciate him very much.

Dr. Michael Sullivan, Gaylord, MI


Rating: 1 out of 5.

Very sad experience. Dr. Sullivan performed a root canal on my number 13 molar. The root canals of this tooth are very narrow and extended. I warned the Dr. that I had a traumatic experience with elongated tooth roots which for teeth being extracted both as an adolescent and as a young serviceman in the Navy. Both of those times the dentists had a rough time with the teeth. The procedures lasted over 4 hours for the tooth when I was a child, and two visits over 3 hours each when I was in the Navy. Dr. Sullivan assured me that he was capable, and that his skill was superior. I believed him. After his first attempt at root canals on this tooth, Dr. Sullivan sent me home telling me that there wasn’t enough time that day to finish the procedure. Mind you I’m under the influence of sedation at this time. I told Dr. Sullivan that I would rather have the tooth pulled than go through another 3 hours in the chair. Amazingly I believed him again when he told me the reason he couldn’t finish was because of scheduling. He also said that he wanted to prove to his dental assistants he could finish the job! Being as high as I was on the anesthesia I made the poor judgement call to return. Two days went by with excruciating pain in my upper jaw. I was having to take Tylenol and Advil to relieve the discomfort. I went back to Sullivan’s office, asked AGAIN if it would be better to just extract the tooth, and he said it was his opinion he could save it, and this time he could finish the job and apply the cap. So I strapped on his gas mask and knocked myself stupid only to have the “Doctor” root around, stretch my jaw and break off half of what was left of the tooth. When I came to I distinctly remembered the snap, the dental assistant saying “Oh God!”, and the good Dr. scurrying away into another operatory. What was I told this time? Of course that I’d have to come back since it was the tooth’s fault it was so damaged that it cracked, and now he had to make a new cap with his machine. Stoned on the good Dr.’s laughing gas I told him “that’s okay, mistakes happen”. What an idiot I was. The laughing gas wore off and the Tylenol Advil routine lasted a week. I went back to Beacon Dental Center, this time for the last time, to finally get the remnants of my tooth capped. This time he squirted the glue in to fill the root canals, fixed the cap on the tooth, and away I went. Fast forward 5 years and I’m in the chair of a very competent dentist. The dentist asks if I’m in any pain and I mention the constant pain I’ve had on my left sinus area. I’ve felt this pain for three years. I’m shown the current X-ray of the area and the Dentist tells me that it’s not normal. The capped tooth is great work (machine made, remember) but there is stuff in the canals of Number 13 tooth that extend into the sinus. After visits to an Ear Nose Throat MD, Oral Surgeon and Endodontist specialists, I’m scheduled to have an operation to remove the so-called saved tooth, and resultant fistula created by the extensive overfilling of the Number 13 root canals with guttapurcha, the latex based root canal filling material. Predictably I could sue and win to recover the costs of these procedures, but the good Doctor has closed his practice, and is now enrolled in a school in Detroit. The lawyer I consulted doesn’t see that my case is strong enough to show the pain I’ve been living through since I trusted Dr. Sullivan. Of course there are risks to root canals. I accepted the possibility of a dry socket, and possible infection, but was re-assured by Sullivan that he’s done thousands of these procedures with no bad outcomes. General dentists can perform root canal procedures along with other dental procedures, but often they refer patients needing endodontic treatment to a specialized practice, who works in collaboration with your dentist. An endodontist is a dentist who specializes in saving teeth. Dr. Sullivan should have not touched that tooth after I warned him of the history of my other root issues, and certainly after he saw the roots narrowness and length.

Complete hip replacement - Dr. Neff is incredible! It is hard to find Surgeons performing an Anterior hip replacement but I did not want my glutemous muscles cut! Dr. Neff is well trained and efficient in the procedure, which means less trauma less blood loss, less time under anestesia! He is knowledgable and explains in detail procedure and even the metallurgy of the prosthetic device! I "bamboozled" him with questions and I verified his response! WOW! He even emailed me a plan he develops before each surgery to create a "blue-print" of implant right on my x-ray! I was on the walker for a week, cane for another week. walking a mile/day. Painlessly able to go up and down the stairs. No muscle cut so no PT is necessary! I refused epidural or any of the pain meds... just ice packs for the first couple of weeks! Ready 4 hip #2 to be replaced in time for the ski season!

Dr. Joshua Goldman, Pittsburgh, PA


Rating: 1 out of 5.

Dr. Goldman is very unprofessional and makes agreements and breaks them. I wouldn’t recommend him to people I dislike yet alone like. Please, do yourself a favor: Run the other way and don’t look back! I told him about going to an Express Care hours to get the results to see if it tested positive for Gout. He told me that they don’t use blood tests to check for Gout. I went to Express Care to get the blood tests and X-ray report printed out and gave them to the receptionist to add them to my file and I guess because I proved him wrong he got mad and wanted to get back at me so he refused to fill my prescription which was written for 17 days and he said it would be for 21 and if I started getting tests done which he had given me prescriptions for that he would then refill them. I brought the Gout reports in to prove that I really had it and in the X-ray report the Radiologist said that there were other problems with that foot. He also wrote 2 of the X-ray prescriptions wrong! Apparently he wasn’t listening to me because I told him exactly what I have problems with.

Dr Lauri Conroy, 4014 River Rd 48054 United States, East China, MI


Rating: 1 out of 5.

Lacks knowledge needs to "check the book" who uses books? More importantly I had a fractured pelvis in two places and she had the X-ray results. I had suffered a fall and she couldn't see me but ordered X-ray at hospital. Not only did she NOT call me with the results, she made me wait all day in pain until I called her for them. Then she misread the results initially, only to call me back a moment later. When I requested something for the pain her response was "well, the office is about to close so you will have to wait until tomorrow "! Really?! The office was open for another 15 minutes and it was her fault I had waited in pain all day to begin with and now she was going to make me wait all night too! Because she was going to be going home! How about doing your job? How about getting the prescription to me another way?? Some caring physician, NOT!!! This is not the first instance in which she did not do her job! Another time I called needing to be seen for a respiratory illness and was told she had no appointments, I requested at least a prescription for a chest X-ray, which when I went to the office to pick it up she was leaving a couple hours early for the day. The office which has set hours of operation and six physicians, she just left uncovered...way to care for your patients...most people find coverage!
