My mother in law showed obvious signs of dementia and I asked for Dr. Painter on several occasions to come by the house and assess her as she was a danger for elopement and exploitation, which both had occurred. He did not help at all and insisted, all in front of my mother in law, her memory loss, ability to balance, not able to recall objects in a short amount of time, etc. was due to her age. Long story short, I received other professional help from three doctors who all assessed her the same - dementia. Plus, she was over medicated and given an anti-drepressant for arthritis. When the homehealth care nurse questioned him about this, he was very unprofessional to the nurse because she questioned him. I would not recommend him to anyone. They are terrible with returning phone calls and making home visits when promised. He does not diagnose correctly at times. Furthermore, she was recently admitted to the hospital with the hospital having her follow up with Dr. Painter. He has refused to see her so his oath to take care of the well being and health of patients is not true. He gets a BIG -0 for a rating from me. read more
