the doctors here range from very good, to very poor. it really is the luck of the draw if you are a patient. hope to god that you dont get Dr. Marilyn Heine. she has poor skills, will talk behind your back, and sometimes straight up laugh in your face. as a former employee i assisted her in multiple bone marrow biopsies. she has the absolute poorest skills with reguard to bone marrow biopsies. every one i witness, she was unable to attain any bone marrow, and was in the room, poking and prodding with all her weight for over an hour, with little progress. that is, unless you count temporarily parylizing her patients, by hitting a nerve. every other doctor who works here does a fine job at the biopsies, with little or no side effects. yet she is the only one who never fails to put the patient in severe pain for days after the procedure, even though she also uses about four times as much numbing lidocaine as the other doctors. and after all the pain she puts the patient through, iv also witnessed her being unable to finish the procedure, and interrupting another doctor to get the bone marrow. this of course means that she put the patients through agonizing pain and temporary disability for absolutely nothing, and she brushes it off as though it was supposed to happen. that is the worst part...that she doesnt even acknowledge the fact that her patient is in needless pain, and it was her fault. DO NOT trust Dr. Marilyn Heine to be your doctor, unless you wish to go through the horrors of her poor skills, and her unusual amount of prostate checks (with a lubed finger up your rectum) which is a whole nother discussion.
