Tulsa Spine & Specialty Hospital : Emergency Room

I HAVE HAD TUMORS SURGICALLY REMOVED FROM MY BRAIN, ONE FROM MY BRAIN STEM AND ONE FROM MY SPINAL CORD ( SURGERIES WERE NOT PERFORMED AT THIS FACILITY ) AND SO I HAD A VERY BAD HEADACHE AND ALSO MY NECK WAS HURTING PRETTY BAD. I HAVE NOT HAD A PRESCRIPTION FOR PAIN MEDICATION OR HAVE I TAKEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN CLOSE TO 2 YEARS. THE E.R. DOCTOR WOULD ONLY GIVE ME TORADOL AND NOTHING STRONGER ALSO MY KIDNEYS ARE SHOWING SIGNS THAT I HAVE A KIDNEY DISEASE AND I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE NSAIDS ( IBUPROFEN, ALEVE, TORADOL AND SEVERAL OTHERS ) I WAS THERE FOR 5 TO 6 HRS. THE NURSES WERE VERY NICE BUT THE TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS THAT LOOKED AT ME WERE NOT VERY HELPFUL, DR. MAPLES WAS OK, BUT THE SECOND DOCTOR WAS NOT NICE DID NOTHING TO TRY TO HELP ME AND THEN HAD ASK ME WHAT I WAS ON LIKE DRUG WISE. WHEN I ASK WHY HE THOUGHT THAT, HE REPLIED THAT HE THOUGHT MY SPEECH WAS SLOW AND SEEMED SLURRED SOMETIMES AND ALSO THAT SOMETIMES I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME COMPLETING MY SENTENCES. I INFORMED HIM THAT HE HAD RECORDS SHOWING WHERE I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE SURGERIES ON MY BRAIN REMOVING TUMORS AND I HAVE STROKE LIKE EFFECTS FROM THOSE SURGERIES AND THAT I WAS SURPRISED THAT A DOCTOR IN A HOSPITAL SPECIALIZING IN BRAIN AND SPINAL ISSUES COULD NOT REALIZE THIS. HE WAS VERY RUDE AND NOT COMPASSIONATE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY OR AT LEAST IF YOU GET ONE OF THESE DOCTORS THEN ASK FOR A DIFFERENT DR,

Not a place anyone really wants to be but is a new and beautiful medical facility in Tulsa Hills. Friendly, efficient staff in a very clean atmosphere. I was greeted and helped check in very quickly and with a minimum of fuss and new patient questions. Quickly escorted to my room, the procedure was explained in a simple manner and I was escorted to the room where the spinal injections take place. All the while the accommodating staff did their best to put me at ease and finish the procedure quickly. I very highly recommend this facility.
