just my opinion

Oct 7, 2022

I have served this country for 30 years, during that time, I was critically injured and forced to retire. I moved my family to Kentucky hoping for a better life. I had been seen at The Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky for several of my injuries and they were made WELL aware of ALL of my injuries, as well as a severe heart condition which not only affects my ability to walk, it affects my ability to perform normal daily functions. Due to my heart condition, I had to cancel a couple of appointments and on ONE occasion, when I was really sick, I had to cancel my appointment. Each time I cancelled, I used the texting option they sent to my cellphone . When I was finally well and finally felt up to having my neck examined, I called to schedule a new appointment, only to be told that they will NOT SEE ME ANYMORE, due to the cancellations. At no point was I ever informed that this would happen. At no point did they even inquire why I missed my appointments. Even AFTER I explained why I cancelled and that being sick, I was not only concerned for MY well being, but ALL those around me, they still refused to see me. I have been dealing with doctors for well over 10 years and have NEVER seen behavior so DISTURBING and DISGUSTING! It honestly felt like it was just being done out of SPITE. These doctors need to remember WHY they wanted to become doctors in the first place! Maybe this will make a difference or maybe it won't, but if I can HELP one person and keep them from going through the stress of not getting called back or dealing with this nonsense.....then it was WORTH it! In response to the owner, This is obviously a common practice here As i read the other reviews, Apparently no one was taken serious again I find the fact that people who come for help are treated like flies on a cow and swatted away only to be left feeling alone and helpless, This is truly a disqusting policy that needs to be investigated especially considering the elderly age of most of the patients.

I have been fighting for over a yr to figure out what was wrong with my foot. In one day they figured it out and got me a treatment plan!!!

I have tried to contact this clinic for over 1 week now, multiples times. When you call the number listed on their google business account no one answers. I am scheduled for a procedure in a few days and theirs no way to call and cancel, you go to some call waiting queue where you’re number one in line and no one answers but if you hit star to leave a voicemail it hangs up. Somehow I was scheduled for an appointment today that I didn’t even know about. This is confusing and unprofessional, if I don’t show up for my surgery on 10/11/2022 will I be charged any fees? I even had a representative from my insurance company call and try and couldn’t get through on multiple attempts, I wanted to create documentation with the insurance in case I’m billed for anything. Someone called me from this clinic last week but I missed their call and of course when I tried to call back no one answered haha.
