So far I have to say Dr. Worsham has been GREAT!!
i took my husband over to SVMH ER last Wednesday for a high fever and severe left flank pain. We already knew he had a kidney infection and was placed on IV antibotics immediately. Dr. Worsham's partner first saw my husband on Thursday to discuss the results of an MRI. Dr. Apaydin then called me directly to discuss the results and that he wanted to also do a CT scan, which was done that day. The results of that were conveyed to us by the Hospitalist, Dr. Tan and that Dr. Worsham would do a consult on Friday morning to discuss the plan of treatment based on the CT and MRI results. Spoke with Dr. Worsham over the phone where he indicated that the first step was to insert a stent. This was done on Friday afternoon where the immediate effect was the release of kidney stones, pus and urine. The source of the infection had been determined to be the urine build-up in his kidney. Today when I visited my husband he looked WAY better than he had on Wednesday and Thursday.
After the stent surgery, Dr. Worsham explained to me in easy to understand terminology that my husband is a very sick man and that he wasn't out of the woods yet. Dr. Worsham laid out his proposed treatment plan, also indicating that he wanted to keep my husband in the hospital for a few more days. I told him to keep my husband in the hospital for as long as he felt it was necessary.
I'm glad i found him. I believe he literally saved my husband's life.
Haven't had an opportunity to go to his office. All the above transpired at Salinas Valley Memorial hospital, which in my book also deserves 5+ stars!! read more
