Should doctors do whatever?

I have noticed some of the reviews written by me are under places they shouldn't be. I've found reviews under places that I did not write a review at. I am sorry if a review ends up under the wrong place. My reviews have been on Randolph Smith, Augusta Plastic Surgery, and the University Hospital located at 1350 Walton Way. The reason why I included the hospital is because the doctor I made a mistake of seeing is a chairman on the board of this hospital. He is in leadership at this hospital. He does whatever he wants to. In writing my reviews, I understand that other people may have had a different experience or opinion. My reviews are based on the treatment I got or didn't get. Why is it, that this doctor at this practice and a board member at this hospital treats some patients better than others? Why can't this doctor treat all of his patients with respect? My experience with Randolph Smith was BAD.

I know doctors don't like to get bad reviews. They should think about that before they are inconsiderate, unprofessional, uncaring, unavailable etc. to their patients. Now some doctors are asking their patients to sign a form saying they won't "publish or air" any unfavorable information about the doctor's care, manner, or office staff. The waiver mainly target online ratings, sites such as RateMDs.com . I don't know if this will end negative reviews on incompetent doctors. The Aarp Bulletin does not seem to think it will. I personally think people should and would want to know about a doctor's care, manner, and office staff. I wish I had known about this doctor's care, manner, and office staff. A doctor-patient relationship should be open and trusting. Physicians should not attempt to suppress evaluations by patients. All doctors should act in a professional manner and be skilled at their profession. A doctor who is not professional or lacks skill should expect to be reviewed in a negative way. There are some good doctors out there, but unfortunately the doctor I saw is not one of them. So it does not surprise me that I was not the first patient who wrote a bad review on this doctor and I assure you I will not be the last!!!

I just now found out this doctor was getting an award from the Clemson Alumni Association when I went to see him.. He must have been so into himself, he forgot about his patients. He had no time for them. Wish he had not had the time to show up and mess me up. But he made time for that he wanted the money!

Clearasil would have corrected my problem. Clearasil versus z-plasty which would you choose? Don't go see Randolph Smith he won't give you a choice. After e-mailing the website of Dr. Smith's practice asking to please tell me what was done to me, how it was done, and why over a year ago. A Sandy Woodward called me and I was to meet with her and Dr. Smith on July 21st. Then they decided not to. Will I ever find out what was done to me? I got my records and there was no explanation to what was done or how it was done. You can only learn so much on the computer and I only assume I have guessed the mess that Dr. Smith did. There is a commercial on TV for Augusta Plastic Surgery. It says to call for your consult. Don't bother I called in March 2008 and it is now August 2009 and I still am waiting for my consult. Perhaps Dr. Smith has gotten forgetful and does not remember he needs to examine and consult with the patient before he does whatever he pleases to them. I think the patient should have some say on what if anything gets done since they are the ones who will always be affected by what is done. Dr. Smith and his practice does not think it is important to consider what the patient wants or would have wanted. See a doctor and practice who does think the patient is important. Please be smarter than I was. This doctor has no concious or morales - why would he do a patient like he did me?
