Inadequate Doctors

by CitySearchReviewerz at Citysearch

The group of doctors practicing at East Paulding Primary Care Center exploited questionable behavior and diagnosing procedures. Basically, when one of those doctors proposed a diagnosis, then the others simply follow suit without proper testing.

More specifically, several doctors in this care center collaborated and diagnosed our family member with Crohn's Disease and stated that she would have a continued life full of an array of Crohn's medications and worsening problems. That diagnosis was made after our family pleaded with each and every one of those doctors to please check for appendicitis. Each doctor at the East Paulding Primary Care center refused our family's request.

After a years' worth of frustration in working with these Paulding County physicians, we made one trip to an area university hospital where the diagnosis was immediately and correctly made as CHRONIC APPENDICITIS. ALLof the doctors at East Paulding Primary Care Center explicitly insisted that Chronic Appendicitis did not exist; thus, our family suffered the consequences.

Because the physicians at EPPCC refused to check for appendicitis, that nasty appendix sat atop a young teen's reproductive organs and destroyed them resulting in surgeries and permanent, painful adhesions.

Needless to say, we do not recommend East Paulding Primary Care Center or any affiliated doctors OR hospitals.

• Pros: Absolutely None
• Cons: Ignored family concerns and requests, many more problems than we can list here
