When the doctor entered the room, he was clearly and verbally expressive of his distate for the scheduling mixup. He continued to refuse to answer any questions about the outcome of the surgergy or any type of insight into the possible results of the surgery. He vehemently reacted to my use of the word "should" instead of "may" and then claimed that the doctor patient relationship had been compromised by my "high expectations." He would not give me any success rate or any info pertaining to the outcome. I had only minimal expectations and was very happy to have the surgery until he became rude, condescending, and unprofessional. He refused to do the surgery after I had spent over 6 weeks working toward this surgeical procedure. I asked him if he could put his emotional and judgemental feelings aside and professionally focus on the operation. I figured he may not have the best bedside or office manner but felt he was com petent enough to perform the surgery he offered me. He said he could not adjust and perform professionally and asked me to leave his office. I was shattered, still in pain, and now have to begin all over to get the proper attention and relief. I was not alone in the office and have a witness to this Doctor Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde behavior.

I enjoyed my experience here compared to Wilkesbarre general hospital. Everyone swears by the deliciousness of the smoothie bar (I personally never got it tho). Beware this is trauma center so the ED can be very chaotic at times with long waits for beds but they get to you eventually based on the severity & level of care needed to make you feel better. The labor and delivery ward here is the really good compared to the others I've been to; it also has a Nicu for babies. (But if I had to choose a place to deliver, Geisinger CMC in Scranton labor and delivery is so much nicer but better suited for moms with uncomplicated pregnancies as they don't have a NICU.) My main downside to coming here was how far away the parking lot was & can be challenging to find a closer spot. But to help they do have shuttles that runs till about 4am & can pick you up and take up to the front of the hospital.

I was induced, couldnt get past 4cm dilated for 3 days, tried the foley balloon TWICE. After the first foley balloon, was so painful, the midwife said word for word to me "if you can't handle this, how do you think you're going to be able to handle birth" I started passing out from the meds and i was hyperventilating in my sleep due to the trauma. Also while I was screaming in pain from the foley balloon she kept demanding me to stop tensing and squeezing but the pain was so unbearable. Don't get me wrong, the nurses in L&D were fantastic, absolute angels. but that midwife should change her career. Anyways, in those 3 days they attempted a foley balloon a 2nd time. Thank god for the epideral that only lasted an hour. When they popped my water it was just as bad as the foley balloon. The OBGYN that time suggested a c section and that she'll talk to the surgeon/doctor. Well... he came in and advised against a c section, he also said that the OBGYN that mentioned the c section to us, didn't mention it to him in that way. Eventually, I requested it anyways. After 3 long days, I also couldn't get out of bed due to preeclampsia. When I requested the C section, the surgeon came in and said "So you're throwing in the towel" making me feel like I was GIVING UP AND DOING SOMETHING WRONG. How terrifying it was. My son was born 2 hours after I requested a C section, by C section. He is also the happiest and healthiest boy. LADIES, trust in yourself, your body and your support system. MOVING ON... I had recently visited the emergency room for the urge to throw up was unbearable, sweating, chills, cold sweats. They just gave me IV fluids, and ANTIPSYCHOTIC for the nausea and sent me on my way. I WENT BACK 5x in a week and a half for the same symptoms. And all 5x they did the same thing. Iv fluids, and antipsychotic and sent me on my way. Come to find out, I had H. Pylori bacterial infection in my stomach the entire time. It wasn't until I called a doctor elsewhere and asked for help. That doctor I saw elsewhere saw I had H.Pylori 2 years ago and instantly sent me for a test. I had lost 26 lbs in 5 days. The ER knew that. One of the 5 visits, I knew I had H.Pylori, it was in my MYCHART, I told them I was diagnosed with it but the symptoms were unbearable for I had been waiting days to figure out what's wrong due to their lack of actually trying to figure it out. They told me that H.Pylori is usually an outpatient problem With a prescriber. I'm sorry, what?And again, IV fluids, but this time a pill(my reason for coming in was i threw up my antibiotics). The doctor prescribed me an anti nausea medication that has to be accepted by my insurance, it's been 4 days since that visit and the doctor I saw in the Emergency Room still hasn't responded to the insurance message or whatever. Thankfully, after that 5th visit I haven't had to go back and I've been able to keep the antibiotics down. Ps; when this happened 2 years ago, it was the same scenario. No tests, just an IV fluid and antibiotic and sent me. Wasn't until I reached out to an actual doctor to figure it out. I pray I don't ever have to bring my son here for anything. I couldn't bare to see him go through something like this with people who are supposed to help you.

I was referred to Dr. Sonthineni in Oct. 2012 for multiple neurological symptoms, I thought…read morepossibly MS. This doctor was on the referral list that my primary uses, so I had no reason to question her credentials. However, after 4 months of confusing communication of test results, ordering of sleep-related tests that were unrelated to my complaints, outright wrong statements about the source of some of my symptoms, poor handling of my reaction to a prescribed medication and generally feeling that I was not getting anywhere being treated by this doctor, I looked her up in healthgrades.com. I was shocked and disturbed to find out that she apparently is not a neurologist at all. Her board certification is in psychiatry, and her husband (who practices out of the same office but may not claim to be a neurologist) is board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Apparently because they named their joint business Broome Neurosciences, it was automatically assumed that one of them was a qualified neurologist. What they really do there is brain wave testing, nerve response testing, and sleep studies, at least that's what they did with me. It does not appear to be a coincidence that everyone I know (3 plus myself) who has been referred to their office has been ordered to undergo multiple sleep studies and been told that they have sleep apnea. I don't have any of the symptoms except being tired in the morning, and that, I believe is because of my chronic (13 years) fibromyalgia pain. I couldn't fall asleep or stay asleep during my study due to extreme discomfort, itching, pain and frustration, yet they claimed that I slept 81% of the time and stopped breathing 16 times per hour. As a result, I don't believe anything she says to me, and I am looking for a REAL neurologist. Also, I have never been given anything on paper for any test results, and even my daughter, who is a nurse, was confused by the convoluted discussion of my symptoms and initial test results when she went with me for a followup appointment. She could not imagine how anyone with memory or other cognitive issues would ever know what their condition really was or whether the treatment/ medication prescribed was appropriate or helpful. I had a very strong sleepiness/ dizzyness reaction to gabapentin, which I reported to her office after a few days because I couldn't function. She insisted that I continue to take it because the side effects should wear off within a few weeks. I couldn't stay awake if I sat down, or drive safely, or walk without weaving and stumbling for a full month, yet she was reluctant to take me off the gabapentin before I had been on it for the full month. Then I could take nothing at all for the neuropathy pain and muscle issues for 6 weeks to clear the gabapentin from my system. By the time I could have had something else, I was so disgusted with the doctor, I wouldn't allow her to treat me anymore. So I wasted 4 months on inappropriate treatment by an unqualified doctor, and now it will be another 3-4 months before I can get in to see a qualified neurologist to start over. Needless to say, I am very angry that this kind of thing could even happen. You would think that the healthcare system would check the credentials and licensing of their participating physicians and give accurate referrals.
