I injured my neck in 2009 and that has prevented me from working as I am in pain 24 hrs a day. Sitting, standing, or laying down for long periods of time are an impossiblility. I went to UMC to seek medical treatment, and after 18 months , I still have only been told that they will make me an appointment for treatment. (Four separate neurosurgeons have advised fusion in my neck to stop the pain and numbness on my left side, as well as the other associated problems I have.) I am continually told that they cannot treat for pain management. I am NOT seeking treatment for pain management. I am seeking a solution to stop the pain, the numbness, the vertigo, and the other problems. And when you want to complain about your treatment, you are treated like your the one at fault. UMC has copies of all my medical records and xrays, and even the nurses who have looked at them agree that surgery is probably the best course of action.

my whole family went to umc family practice and got treated like we were nothing, you can bring a dog to the vet and the dog will get treated better than what we did at umc family practice!!! they know nothing but yet want to talk to you like your stupid when it is really them that is making the mistakes... when you can sit there and tell someone that there lab work is one thing and come to find out its something us and then tell the patients that they shredded the other paper work to cover it up i mean come on people and we are suppose to trust these doctors... what really gets to me is i got discharged from there because i had my baby some where else so they told me i could not go back to family practice i think that is just wrong, because i dont trust these doctors with my life much less my child's life, but its bad when you have no insurence and you are fighting for disability. but yet umc can do as they please and dont even attempt to call patient relations because that is a joke to they can care less just like these doctors they will laugh at you and not help you one bit!
