Review of Windber Medical Center

STAY AWAY FROM CHAN SOON-SHIONG MEDICAL CENTER AT ...

STAY AWAY FROM CHAN SOON-SHIONG MEDICAL CENTER AT WINBER and KWAMI AGBODZA

I went to the E.R. with severe ear pain, and while waiting to be seen by this QUACK, I heard him prescribe Levaquin to 3 patients. He looked in my ear and said, "looks good, looks good." I asked him if he would care to take another look! He mumbled something about his glasses. Then, sure enough, he tried to prescribe Levaquin to me too. Seems to be his "go to drug" no matter what someone has. This drug is VERY strong and dangerous and should only be prescribed in life-threatening situations. When I refused the Levaquin he said, "I don't know what to give you." REALLY? YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE A DOCTOR. He ended up giving me a different antibiotic, which caused a serious side effect and never helped my original condition. I had to go to my family doctor and my family doctor said I was the SECOND person that week to complain about this E.R. Doctor and my family doctor advised me to never go to that hospital again. Also, my doctor said the drug prescribed was another very strong drug and never should have been given to me --- I didn't need to be on antibiotics for my condition - all I needed was EAR DROPS. I filed a complaint with the Chan Soon-Shiong Medical Center at Windber (aka Windber Medical Center) and I told them I don't feel I should be responsible to pay the $150.00 bill that I got. After a month or more, James Steward, MD, Medical Director of the Emergency Room, sent me a letter saying, "At this time, the hospital is not at liberty to forego any charges that you are responsible for." REALLY? If you take your car to a mechanic to fix a dent it has and you get it back with an even worse dent are you responsible to pay the bill? NO. This is the WORST HOSPITAL ever since it was taken over and KWAMI AGBODZA is the WORST E.R. Quack this hospital has ever had. STAY AWAY FROM THEM BOTH.
