| - Worst and most dangerous E.R. I have ever encountered. If Dr. Courtney walks in the exam room, ask for a different doctor. Here's why; I was hit by a truck in my wheelchair, I'm on blood thinner. I was in extreme pain, my left side, my left knee and hip. The wheelchair was totaled, the left arm rest was bent in and struck me in the side, my left knee took a direct hit from the bumper. The frame of the wheelchair was bent. I never asked for or demanded pain meds but I.V. fentanyl was offered and administered. I never asked for more. My caregiver came immediately and witnessed my experience. Dr. Courtney came in asked what happened, what hurts? I told him L knee is severe, he never examined it or exposed for visual exam. I told him my l kidney area was severe, never examined it. He ordered x-rays, left and I never saw him again. X-rays were done I laid there for quit sometime when a nurse came in and said we're discharging me. I didn't hear anything about the x-ray results so I asked why Dr. Courtney never came back? She replied nothings broke, he's busy. I was shocked, my knee was not stabilized, no concern for internal bleeding. I was taken home where I discovered that my knee had a large bleeding gash, was wearing sweats. My knee was bad so my PCP ordered an MRI and it showed a fracture.
Of course I sued the truck driver but here's the kicker; Dr. Courtney stated in the records that I was very rude and obnoxious to the nurses and I demanded drugs. This never happened. I filed a complaint and the only nurse I saw denied these allegations occurred, My caregiver wrote a letter that Courtney's allegations were false, my PCP wrote a letter on my behalf expressing her disappointment that I wasn't held for observation because of possible internal bleeding and the non treatment of my knee, also as a character witness. I dealt with the E.R. supervisor, Andrea Rich regarding this matter, she is inept. Dr. Courtney is incompetent and according to my caregiver's opinion acted twitchy like he was stoned on something.
Dr. Courtney refused to remove what was proven not to be true.
Beware of this quack.
In case you're not aware, many positive online reviews are planted to boost ratings.
