Dr. Amy McCroskey, ER doctor, was horrible. We we...

Dr. Amy McCroskey, ER doctor, was horrible. We went to ER after a baseball injury where my son lost two teeth and had a third smashed horribly into his upper palate. She barely looked in his mouth for 10 seconds. Terrible bed side manner, condescending, and incompetent. She read my son's x-ray, told us his jaw wasn't broken, and sent us home with a pack of gauze (that I had to ask for). I asked for an oral surgeon consult, which I never got. (Dr.just sent him a text message.) Advised me to call oral surgeon the next day (they weren't open and answering service would not page him). My son's jaw was actually crushed, which our dentist advised us of the next day. Not broken - crushed into fragments. My son laid in bed for 15 hours with a tooth smashed up and side ways hanging down in a manner where he could not swallow. Who sends a child home like that? I will go out of network the next time we have an emergency.
