I'm have a horrible time with Darnall and the Dr there. Its gone as far as me filing a complaint against him. I went to see a Different Dr at Seton and LOVED this Dr. He was so down to earth and easy to talk to. Only problem is he says that Tricare has yet to approve anyone locally off post and would refer me back on post. If this happens, what do I do? :( I'm stuck

I had Dr Young at General surgery. Great Dr. Easy to talk to and answered all my questions. Does robot surgery with DaVinci. Went home next day. Only thing and not his problem was bladder issue. Resolved. He made appointment with urology. Also attends loser bench meeting and visit with patients. Don't know who you had but don't think you had Dr Young.

Who did you see. I have friend who works for Tricare. She called Dr Young about somebody and Dr Young called him and saw him the same day. He's here before 5 and stays late taking care of his patients. Your choose but I recommend asking for him. Everyone seem to like him. You won't get better care.

It was Dr. young! He got up and walked out of our appointment with him. I have seen him 3 times... November, they lost my record so only thing proving that I was there was a Dr's note for my work, they were suppose to call me back to schedule follow-up, never did... 2nd meeting, he apologized for dropping the ball, order tests, said I will call you as soon as I get the results back, he never did. I called nurse, no response. .. went back to my PCM for another issue (diagnosised ventral hernia).. 3rd meeting, I asked him why he never called me with the test results, he again apologized but said "Its not like I was doing it on purpose." Well, no but it happened and this has gotten me no where.. He refused to touch my hernia while doing other surgery.. I asked why? (Really didn't know) He got up and walked out saying "Go see someone else"..

The nurse, my husband and I all dropped our jaws in shock. Few minutes later, he said "I put in a referral for another Dr. go see him" (Turned to nurse and told her to leave).. I asked to speak to someone, she went to get Head nurse.. WHile waiting for Head nurse, Dr. Young walked by and said "Are you waiting to talk to someone?" Yes, I am .. He points to the exit and says "Patient Advocate is that way".. I tell him that nurse said I needed to talk to Head nurse first.. He again points to exit and says, "I said go that way to patient advocate"..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
