Charles Brown Review of Lovelace Medical Center

Worst physician I ever encountered in 55 years on this planet. Promised to contact my aged parents with update on my father and left them hanging for over six hours. When my mother remonstrated with this "caregiver" over the wait, she received the frosty response that the doctor was too busy "saving lives," to stop by my father's room, in spite of the fact that my mother had observed the physician spending over an hour at a desk at the nurses' station just down the hall doing paperwork. A month later, this same physician told my father his cancer had progressed to a point at which he had only 6 months to a year to live, and that rather than going to in-patient rehab to rebuild his strength, he should go home and enjoy what time he had left...a diagnosis soundly refuted yesterday by UNM hospital oncology department. MY complaint to the Lovelace patient advocate over the first issue took WEEKS to get a response, which was that they would contact the contractor who provided this freak show of a doctor.
