I could never in good conscience recommend Dr. Woodall or Ministering Physicians. Just over a year ago I switched my grandmother's medical care to Woodall/MP (to be seen at her residence in an Alzheimer's facility). I was not satisfied with the NP that had been assigned to oversee her care and thought I was making a better choice by having an actual physician and not just a NP in charge of her medical needs. The first visit included an "exam" of approximately 5 minutes while she napped. Dr. Woodall told me she had congestive heart failure which was causing her leg/feet edema. She had been diagnosed with the edema a week prior via an ER visit. However, I was told then that they could not say an absolute cause, but it was not cardiac related. When I told Woodall this he seemed to dismiss it and I chose to allow her to become his patient. Again, I thought a physician's care would be better than a NP and the treatment would still be the same for edema, no matter the cause, which would be diuretics. At this time, my grandmother had blister type wounds on two toes. The ER explained this was due to the skin splitting from being stretched and swollen. Diuretics were adjusted over the next couple of months, though I couldn't see an enormous amount of improvement and one toe wound was still looking poor. Anytime I questioned it, I was told it was just a type of slow healing wound. Fast forward to 3 months later. My grandmother again ended up in the ER. This time for acute renal failure due to being severely dehydrated (diuretics) and such an advanced stage of MRSA infection in her toe. That infection was so severe, once thoroughly cleaned, the bone was fully exposed. This led to it having to be amputated. This all happened within 7-10 days of her last visit with Woodall. The notes from that visit indicate nothing notably wrong, even that the toe was said to be healing. According to the hospital doctors this was a clear case of medical neglect. At my request, additional tests were done and CHF was ruled out 100%. My grandmother' s health was so traumatized from all of this, she never recovered and passed within 2 weeks. But after enduring extremely painful and preventable circumstances. Choose wisely. Check, double check, triple check. This is your loved one's life at stake. I was told I could pursue a state investigation and possible neglect charges. At the time, I was extremely distraught with the loss, but mainly the circumstances and my family members encouraged me to let it be and pray for peace. That peace is still elusive. This review is not written out of hate, but rather a state of wanting to encourage everyone who puts their trust into someone or someplace caring for those that are unable to speak or care for themselves, PLEASE do your homework. read more
