Dr. Daniel Hoh and his team. The nursing staff and breathing techs, even the cleaning staff all their positive energy combined gave me hope. They were so concerned. And their hospital chaplain was so comforting. I thank God for each of them.
Dr William Friedman and is team are awesome! They gave me my life back.
My son was denied medical care after having surgery performed out of town. I'm very disappointed in their lack of compassion and care.
I met with a neurosurgeon here who refused to attempt an operation that showed promise to help me with severe chronic neck pain (he also did not look closely at the problem which is likely why). After speaking with four other neurosurgeons and two chiropractors who all agreed it was the best course of operation, I had the procedure done in Louisiana.
I had to return to Gainesville for my classes at UF shortly after the operation, and the neurosurgeons at UF neurology refused to see me for a post-op check up. They gave no reason why other than that they didn't perform the operation. When I told them that my surgeon was nine hours away and I have to stay for classes, they told me that I had then better go to the emergency room for my standard post-op check up because the UF neurosurgeons who are the only doctors in the area with expertise in the type of procedure (foraminotomy for any interested) refused to perform a routine inspection fully knowing that I will now have to find someone far less qualified.
I have never had or even heard of a hospital or any doctor refusing basic care and sending someone away to receive sub-optimal (and far more expensive) care. I'm afraid I can't remember the name of the original doctor who didn't take the time to look over my information before refusing the operation, but for the post-op, I requested any available neurosurgeon and was refused any sort of appointment whatsoever.
Dr Rahman is an amazing Neurosurgeon. I will recommend her to anyone. My mother had a tumor on her spinal chord, almost paralyzing her. 6 months after surgery, she's walking 2 miles without any assistance.
