Review of Palmetto Health

I came here hoping to find a diagnosis for a shoul...

I came here hoping to find a diagnosis for a shoulder issue that the military caused two years prior. I was injected with cortisone shots-no relief, but they did not seem to believe that. A month later I came back and they decided to do a dye injection in to my shoulder which cost lots of money and found nothing! I finally decided to leave and see a surgeon in Minnesota my family recommended who diagnosed me within 30 seconds! He found out my problem was simple: nerve damage and scapulorthoracic dyskenesia. You could literally see what was wrong with my shoulder by simply making me lift my arms up and down. My shoulder blade would stick out of my back at a 90 degree angle because my muscles were paralyzed since my nerve was damaged. SIMPLE DIAGNOSIS that every single doctor I ever saw here missed! I was put through unnecessary pain and spent money that did not even result in anything. This surgeon was ready to give me an exploratory surgery I did not even need. It amazes me how ignorant these doctors can be when the problem is staring them in the face, but all they care about is the money and it disgusts me. I will never go back here.
