Ashe Family Healthcare

Friendly staff! Delivered food to the office, and the young lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful.

I have used Michael Griffith for a few years as my primary care doctor and had insurance during that time. I do not have insurance at the moment due to career change but was having a tightness in my chest and thought it was something to do with my lungs since I had been sick the week before. I made an appointment for that day and let the front desk know I did not have insurance but thought it would be less expensive for me to get checked out with my primary doctor than go to the ER and rack up a debt there. The lady at the front desk agreed and they made me pay $85 up front for the visit. I waited over an hour before Michael ever came into the room to see me. He then did a very quick examination and then said he didn’t think it was my lungs because I wasn’t coughing. He said he also didn’t think it was my heart but it could be and we wouldn’t know without an EKG. He said since I didn’t have insurance that he wouldn’t do one and prescribed me an over the counter acid reflux medication IN CASE it was that. He said if I had went to the ER then they would draw blood and do an EKG to make sure but they could write off the debt to the government, insinuating that I would not pay if he did anything to discover what was wrong with me. I tried to get the $85 from them since they had flat out refused to treat me and I could have used that money at the ER. The office manager said he didn’t have that authority but he would let Derek know and he would call me the next day. I didn’t hear from Derek and when I called back they said he wasn’t in and that frankly he wouldn’t give me my money back or do anything about it.They do not care about their patient’s health or patient satisfaction. They only care about money and that’s it.

My father who was prescribed medication by his neurologist was told by Michael that he could quit taking it because he was feeling better and he didn’t want to take it.... It was one for his mood issues and nerve pain. He came crashing off of it and took off to who knows where. He is 80, scared, confused and Alone right now. I’m sure before the week is over he will be back in the hospital. Thanks for checking with his POA and his neurologist prior to making changes for a situation you know nothing about. We all appreciate it. It was very irresponsible.

Jordain Hardin is my doctor and she is the best ever! I think she actually saved my life. They are great in the office also and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!!!!!!!!

Go anywhere else but here. They are crooks.
