In June my 84 year old mother with dementia could not urinate and was taken to
Parkview E.R. where they observed blood in her urine. They put a cathider bag on
her and referred her to her physician. He then referred her to Southern California Urology Clinic on Magnolia Ave. Riverside. Each time I brought my mom into the clinic
they stated they needed a urine sample and when I informed them she had a bag
they acted surprised, no one reads medical charts? After several test she finally was seen by Doctor Ralph Highshaw and before examining her he stated the test revealed that she had a condition that sent the wrong brain waves to her bladder and she would have to wear a bag for the rest of her life. I then asked about the blood in her urine at the E.R. and he said really? He then examined her bladder and said there was a large tumor and said she would be scheduled fro some test before surgery. It has been over 3 months and no surgery. After numerious attempts to schedule surgery today I was informed that Dr. Highshaw has left this office and my mother will have to be referred
to a different clinic. What kind of care and treatment is this? Staff who do not read
medical charts and doctor who misdiagnosed my mothers tumor? She has been to the E.R. 3 times with bladder pain to change the bag and they had a hard time putting it in saying the tumor was giving them problems. I am sure it has grown, thanks Dr. Highshaw and clinic staff for putting my mothers life in jeopardy. read more
