I noticed her excitement of enjoying what she does and making sure she does great. The IV she did on me was wonderful I didn't even feel it. In ICU, Nurse Jillian took great care of me you can tell Jillian really loves to make sure the patients assigned are doing great and offers amazing care to them. I'm beyond grateful I had such nice nurses taking care of me in such a stressful situation.

    I'm writing this based on a widely shared social-media account involving Theodore Haskin, DO at…read moreHalifax Health in Daytona Beach, and what was shown was deeply troubling. A young Black woman in her mid-20s reportedly presented to the ER in a sickle cell pain crisis and was met with what appeared to be condescension, patronizing language, and dismissal of her pain. Sickle cell disease is a genetic blood disorder that disproportionately affects African American patients and is well known in medicine for causing severe, excruciating pain crises due to blocked blood flow. These crises are considered medical emergencies and are commonly treated with timely opioid pain management when clinically indicated. In the video, the physician was seen talking down to her, due to her need for appropriate pain relief medication while citing vague statements like "studies show it's dangerous," despite the patient being in an emergency setting and clearly in distress. To many viewers like myself, this interaction reflected a lack of empathy, outdated or misapplied reasoning, and troubling bias, particularly toward a young Black woman advocating for herself. Regardless of intent, the encounter raised serious concerns about how pain, race, and chronic illness are handled in emergency medicine. Patients with sickle cell disease already face significant stigma and disbelief in healthcare settings, and situations like this only reinforce that fear. I hope Halifax Health takes these concerns seriously and prioritizes compassionate, evidence-based care for all patients.

If you are not the first appointment in the morning your appointment time will be pushed back by an average 15 minutes every hour. She spends entirely too much time explaining simple blood test results. My wife has experienced 3 spinal cord surgeries and sitting longer than two hours results in severe pain. On September 14, she had a 12:30 pm appointment. We were placed in treatment room #2. Not any weight or blood pressure taken by the nurse. One hour and 15 minutes later, we had not seen another person and decided the ENTIRE practice lacked respect for our time. We informed the desk we were leaving. While exiting the front door, Amy the office manager approached us and said another patient had issues and the doctor got tied up with them. What were the other two licensed medial practitioners doing? Surely one of them could have spent five minutes to relate the blood test results. As we exited the door, the office manager accused us of not "having respect of others." Obviously this practice lacks regard for our time and effort to be on time for a scheduled appointment. The practice informs patients to keep the appointment to avoid a charge. If you enjoy sitting for hours waiting for the doctor to KEEP AN APPOINTMENT, this is your place. Enjoy YOUR wait.
