She was kind and courteous whilst showing genuine concern for my health. She did always have cold hands, but with cold hands comes a warm heart. I may have been one of her few male patients, for I hear that she mostly works with children. I'm a child at heart so I was happy.

They have known for weeks that she was having surgery and have yet to send over to the surgeon her release papers. Her surgery is scheduled for Monday, June 8th. The offices have been closed since Thursday. She went to see them on Wednesday and was promised after several weeks of "yes, we are sending it over" to "yes we will send it today, Wednesday, June 3rd. Well, we called the surgeon today to verify that they got the release forms and nothing. Not only has this caused undue angst to my friend, but the surgery will also have to be postponed and just imagine the surgeon and his staff - the cost of their valuable time. I am planning on suing them. No excuse. This behavior is unacceptable.

Well, he never filled out the paperwork for the tests and after 6 or 7 calls to the office, he got absolutely no help. He actually went into the office at one point to see why his referrals weren't being done. No help at all. He kept his appointment that was scheduled for 3 weeks later and when he went in my husband told him that he didn't get any of the tests done because he never filled out the paperwork, Dr. Caruso just said..."well you must have slipped through the cracks. He ordered the tests again and 3 weeks later nothing has been done. I would never recommend Dr. Caruso to anyone. He appears to be a very friendly, caring doctor but he couldn't bother to do his part so my husband could get his tests done. We are moving on.

The system for scheduling initial appointments is broken. I understand appointments are 6 months…read moreout but there is no process for signing up for an appt today, for an appt 6 months out. Depending on who you talk to or see, making an appt after submitting new patient paperwork is hit or miss. Some people call & get an appt 6 months out. Others who call after submitting new pt and insurance forms, can be told dental is closed until April 2024. No waiting list or scheduling, despite having submitted insurance info and new pt paperwork. No suggestions on how to get on the books for an appt. I would suggest Dental Services of Frederick if an adult using Healthy Smiles. When entering their waiting room, the receptionist was smiling & happy to answer questions. A staff member told us appt.s were 6 months out but we were able to actually schedule it. Once home we got a call on a cancelation, due to our special dental need we were offered an appt in 6 weeks. The staff was courteous, competent & welcoming. Kindness made a big difference. ......The actual dentists & hygienists at Hagerstown Family Health are great, but getting an appointment w/ out being redirected to different departments with no date scheduled, is stressful & disrespectful. It's concerning it's 50/50 on what answer you are given over the telephone at HFHC. God bless the staff who try, and are pleasant, it's gotta be hard. I appreciate the HFHC staff who have been helpful & pleasant.

I…read morerequested specialized lab tests (Iron, TIBC, Ferritin Panel, and a Men's Hormonal Panel) due to ongoing health concerns and a need for a second opinion after care at the VA Clinic. My request was dismissed as "unnecessary." Because of this, I had to pay out-of-pocket for the tests, which revealed very low testosterone and very low ferritin levels--both clinically significant findings that should not have been overlooked. I believe this dismissal reflects a lack of patient-centered care, caused unnecessary financial burden, and delayed proper evaluation of my health. Patients deserve providers who listen and take their concerns seriously. I hope Opal Medical Group reviews this matter and ensures future patients receive the respect and diligence they deserve.

For the Emergency Department severe nosebleed and a dr snuck up on me and slammed a rhino rocket up…read moremy nose so hard she slammed my head backwards. I said no rocket. Got home then couldn't see out of right eye face swollen nose swollen and couldn't breat through my nose so I returned and the nurse told me to leave as no doctor was going to see me and she got in my face. No one touches me without my self defense so I stood my ground being the only person in the ER. Saw a Dr who said that he didn't give a damn if I sat there and bled to death. Another time I was as held down by a nurse and given 10 mg of ketamine and I was screaming no, hallucinating and screaming couldn't move my legs trouble breathing ripping stitches for procedures to fight her off to no avail. My roommate who is former Army stepped outside of the curtain 2 feet and said I wasn't breathing well and needed help and this female dr shoved him from behind into the room I witnessed her stick out her left leg grab him by his puffer coat with her right hand huge shove with her left hand on his shoulder from behind him and spin him hard slamming and bouncing his head against and off the wall then he fell over a chair and his hands and knees were on the floor. this man was 76 now 79 years old and he had her arrested. I testified to the truth but the judge said " I'm not going to say she didn't do it, I'm not going to say she didn't do it. I'm saying that the severity ( of the assault) is not enough to justify her losing her house her car and her job because she needs her job to pay for her house and her car" and she went free, back to working at Meritus ER. I was taken to Meritus ER by ambulance in 10/24 and being discharged refusing narcotics couldn't walk due to spinal stenosis paralyzed me from the waist down with nerve damage crying with nerve pain and this man charged into my area screaming loud "shift change now I'm in charge", (4 am was not shift change) pointing his finger inches from my face and the man with me sitting there I screamed for him to get out but he kept it up. He said for me to get the hell out of his hospital right now or he would put me in a nursing facility, I screamed back that he had no medical power of attorney over me, never said who he was so I thought he was a mental patient on the loose , I screamed so loud at him to get out that finally he left. I left the hospital quickly being dragged down the hall by my male friend to the car in fear for my life. I reported him to EMTALA but again he was back working at Meritus so I was told. Sinai operated for this with a lamenectomy and a CSF leak which is brain leak tie off at L4-5. I had a civil rights violation stemming from terrifying visit with the male at Meritus Pain Management and the state police said thats grounds for arrest but the judges just let these Meritus doctors go so why bother? I could go on and on about the abuse I suffered at the hands of Meritus doctors BUT 1/26 I am eligible for new insurance coverage that allows me to go to big city hospitals so never again will I go to the Meritus Medical Center ED in Hagerstown MD. I would like to end this by saying that in 09/24 my heart rate went up to 175 due to nutritional malabsorption, another Meritus dr who made a huge mistake in the department of gastroenterology. Meritus cardiologists diagnosed me with atrial fibrillation and said get a heart ablation. I went to Baltimore and there is not one EKG OR ECG in this state of Maryland proving I ever has the diagnosis and if I had the ablation I would have died and this was told to me by a Baltimore cardiologist/electrophysiologist who took the time to track down all this information and called me on a Sunday morning with his grave concerns in a panic. He is qualified to perform heart ablations and remains to be the only doctor that I will see again for my heart, never Meritus again for any cardiologist. Meritus did build a baseball stadium and parking garage but how does this enhance the horrible conditions in the hospital for patients like me as I'm not the only one, far far from it. These doctors with a specialty practice just keep doing wrong then the letters come kicking me out of their practices. I certainly wouldn't return to an abusive doctor but that letter makes them look good, or should I say stupid even when some violated my HIPPA laws!Many people have talked to me about worse treatment & no lawyers taking their cases and I'm one. As soon as we say Meritus to a lawyer they're too busy. I have called many lawyers including in DC and Baltimore to be told no quickly. Meritus is no longer number one in Maryland and an employee said to me that they deserve to be number one and cannot find out who number one is but they will! I'm sure it may be a hospital who is giving care to patients and not building baseball stadiums don't you think? John's Hopkins rating 100 %. Google Meritus! K'NAAN MARSDEN
