Went to True Results 6 weeks ago & arranged for consultation with Dr Nicholson. I went to his office & he was called out 4 times before ever finishing what needed to be said. He didn't even say good by or anything. At that time I was should have recieved a blue book regarding the diet & surgery prep. I did not recieve this book until the Friday before my Monday 1:45pm surgery appt.

Then Dr Nicholson called me a liar after I told him I had asked my pain management people to fax over a letter stating that I was under their care & they would take care of my post-op pain needs which is exactly what his assistant told me to do! I was checked in, paid 3500 in co-pay & sent back to pre-op when he comes over to tell me that it was my responsibility to get all the paper work from pain management to him. My pain meds cannot be increased as I'm maxed out on what they can legally give me.

He called me a liar so I had the IV removed & dressed with all the people & Dr Nicholson telling me to re-schedule the surgery??? Like I'm going to allow this arrogant wanna be dr do surgery on me after he called me a liar!! His office has no communication! I was on the phone for 2 weeks every day getting other dr's offices to fax over all the test results he needed for the surgery. And according to him it's my responsibility to do what the blue book tells me to do whether I had it or not. Guess I should have pulled it from the sky!

And something is wrong with his ability to write narcotic perscriptions as he told me that he cannot write schedule 2,3 or 4 prescriptions! He said pain management could write me additional scrips which as I mentioned before they cannot legally give me more drugs!

I cannot understand why a phone call couldn't have been made the week prior or even the morning before the surgery and why they would put me thru all the hassle & financial situations. My husband took 5 unpaid days off work to be with me after the surgery! This experience has been so rude & unprofessional! He basically told me I should do my own surgery! Whatever the hell that means?

Thanks

Point fingers at your self!

My husband had surgery with Dr. Nick and the level of professionalism was above and beyond. He CLEARLY let us know everything that we needed to do to avoid any complications and to follow any instructions given. This sound likes a case of I didn't do as I was supposed to so I must point a finger. INSTRUCTIONS are not hard to follow and as per your complaint if you were not able to follow through with what was asked of you then clearly this surgery is or was not for you. POINT, BLANK, PERIOD it's funny how people that do wrong finds ways to blame others...... Take responsibility for you own mistakes.

There was mass miscommunication regarding this surgery. I should have listened to all those red flags that were popping into my head before this surgery date & I should have cancelled the surgery! Plain & simple. Lesson learned!

I am truly saddened to hear your perception of the events that day.  I would like to point out that it is clearly in both of our best interests for you to have surgery; however, given the circumstances, it would have been not only unsafe, but unethical for me to have done so.  It is critical for our patients to understand and to follow the pre-op instructions and recommendations.  

Given the lack of agreement that this took place, surgery was not deemed appropriate on that particular day.  I would point out that you were offered to reschedule after completing the prescribed pre-op instructions designed specifically for your safety.  It would appear you do not wish to do so.  I deeply regret that you have misinterpreted my concern for your welfare as being anything other than exactly that.
