I have never seen a doctor or staff try to force a wrong diagnosis on anyone until I went here. I was referred to confirm a diagnosis from a prestigious neurologist and was flat out lied to by the doctor at this place. First off a woman misrepresenting herself as a nurse (who had 'medical assistant' on her badge) could not properly take my blood pressure or other vitals (ps..saying you are a nurse when you are not is against the law). When the doctor came in I lost all confidence...he refused to listen to my explanation and that of my husband (who actually IS an RN) and didn't bother reading the referral from the other doctor that was very specific/detailed..., he ignored facts and claimed it couldn't be what the other doctor said because I wasn't having a certain reaction when the episode was happening; even though I had JUST told him that that was exactly what was happening. Then he asked if I had had an operations as I listed them he proceeded to ignore me looking up something on the computer...he looked at my throat- and I am being generous with the time- for 2 seconds from a side angle and tells me I have a total airway blockage at level 4 (that would mean that my tonsils and adenoids are totally swollen and closing off my throat) funny thing is I just told him, not a moment before, I had both of those removed as child ...so I could NOT possibly have them swollen in my throat now. It is impossible for me to have sleep apnea if I don't have tonsils and adenoids (that is literally what they remove to cure sleep apnea). It was shocking to actually see someone act SHIFTY and he could not get out of the room fast enough when my husband revealed he was a nurse and knows what the doctor was saying was not possible. This office only seems capable of giving out CPAP machines and bull. I can't tell you how disheartening it is to go to someone with the hope of finally getting a problem resolved only to have them ignore you, be rude, ignorant, and mislead you just to suit their lazy ideals. Very sad.
I have been a patient here for almost a year now and I have had a great experience. Have seen both docs but dr. Emuwaa is my favorite. Almost no waiting time, very happy guy who knows what he is doing. Staff members seem to be just as helpful and are always happy
I have been having coughing fits for the last three months (one of which was so bad I passed out), so my doctor sent here. I was sent to do a breathing test at Lancaster Regional after my first. The test(s) was one of the most uncomfortable things I've done in a long time. I went back to Lancaster Pulomary a week later. I was told I don't have ashtma but I might be suffering from allergies. I have had seasonal allergies for years but they never came with coughing fits. So after uncomfortable testing and close to $1500 in bills I'm told I might have allergies, which I already knew, and after taking allergy meds I'm still having coughing fits. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing.
