I will say why I am giving a bad review. I have held back for five years but don't want anyone going through all this unnecessarily. My husband was seen by our primary for a sore on his tongue, She wanted him seen immediately (same day) by Dr Xxx an ENT Specialist.
He saw Dr. Xxx and Dr said he wasn't really worried about the spot. He only had my husband get a biopsy at my insistence. Results came back and we were told that he wasn't too concerned about it still. That it was'within the margins ' and it was good. That he would see him back in office in a couple weeks. I asked if he was sure about not doing anything. Doc said no he wasn't worried.
So next appt , he had to miss forrr Cwork. But got in quickly and dr saw it and it wasn't better but bigger so he gave us a name of a specialist at Barnes Jewish. They did what they could but in few months he passed away from oral cancer that had spread to his lungs and back . But not after having to go through the hell of chemo, radiation, a clinical trial drug therapy , teeth pulled, and a scheduled 4hr surgery that turned into a 15 hour surgery because the few lymph nodes seen prior to surgery had multiplied already all over his mouth, cheek and tongue. These drs did their best. I can not say the same of the ent he was seen by when it started. If he'd of been even a little more aggressive my husband could still be here.
Now I lost my husband of 20 years, our 3 children lost a dad and so on. I do not recommend. read more
