Patients First-Mahan Drive

\r I went to Patient's First on North Monroe St. close to Lake Ella in Tallahassee,Fl. concerning a knee injury. I was complaining about what were three bones protruding under the knee tissue and what appears to be water under the knee. The technician did an x ray and the Dr. Carlos Martinez then said that there was no fracture in no uncertain terms and didn't seem to offer me any explanation for the protrusions.The tone of his voice indicated to me that he didn't even believe me that there were any protrusions on the knee. He was tight lipped and that's all the explanation he offered until I had to hard press him for more details. He then said the swelling was a contusion and not a bone. He then admitted that there did seem to be some ""irregularities on the knee and that there was a contusion just tissue though. He talked as though he didn't even believe me that the accident that I was in had any thing to do with what he called ""irregularities"". I had to ask whether he even thought that the accident even caused these ""irregularities "" because the tone of his voice indicated to me that he did not believe me and he rather tight lipply said that he did not know. He might as well have said to my face that he didn't believe me that there were any protrusions and the ""irregularities were not the result of the accident . I know for a fact that these protrusions were the result of the accident and are bones not just a contusion, which is a bruise, because they are as hard as a rock and because I had just examined my knees a couple of months earlier and they were fine. And the other knee has no protrusions or pain like this one does and is completely symmetrical. Now I'm out $172 and there's no accurate documentation of the accident. Don't waste your time or money on this bozo. This is a perfect example of how you spend good money on doctors around here who basically turn against you for no apparent reason. Unfortunately I was convinced to go to this ""doctor"" against my better judgment and this is exactly the reason you have to go out of town to find decent medical care around here.\r . more

If you are sick and hope to get treated by going to the local Patients First, steer clear of Lynn Steele. She is a nurse at the Patients First on Raymond Diehl in Tallahassee. She will argue about your condition and then prescribe ridiculous meds for what she thinks you have:((((((((((( more
