(ROTHMAN-*************************************************)Physician Assistant ************ told my 75yr old father "she will only address one body part per visit". My father came in to address swelling in both knees, ************ stated "she can only assess one body part a visit,he'd have to return to have the other knee assessed".My father is in excruciating pain, due to arthritis and minimal cartilage of the knees.He was prescribed an oral steroid and advised to follow-up with his primary orthopedic doctor.****** to hear my father was told,"ONE BODY PART PER VISIT".I called the office requesting to speak to this P.A. ************,and was provided a representative(Ms. *************)of ************ to determine the concern.I wanted to know if this was a healthcare regulation, a healthcare law, is this the Rothmans policy of a limit of one body part per visit, is this legal? How would you feel if your father/loved one needed both knees to be examined and only told "ONE BODY PART PER VISIT". Ms. ************* stated,"that's not a regulation,that's the P.A. request because the Rothman urgent care must limit the amount of body parts assessed due to the high volume of patients". ARE YOU SERIOUS!!My father doesn't like confrontation,and he definitely does not like pain,he was in serious pain,he just wanted answers for both his knees and he was content and happy a doctor could assess him today.I am disappointed and angry with this P.A. ************, whom I never met because I wasn't there,because she has made it very clear,patients are a number and not human beings.Here's some advice for this place,let them know how many body parts you would like for them to assess before making the appointment,so you will not arrive expecting to be seen for all your ailments.P.A. ************,"SHAME ON YOU,PUT YOURSELF IN YOUR PATIENTS SHOES,PERHAPS YOU DONT CARE AND ARE ONLY FOR THE MONEY, AND YOU CALL YOURSELF A P.A.! "I HOPE I NEVER MEET YOU".I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR NAME.
