Tennessee Oncology

At the end of April, 2014, Dr*** *** (Chattanooga practice) diagnosed my sister with Multiple Myeloma Two months later, she landed in the hospital Her sudden mental confusion was such that she could not tell him what was wrong She would not eat and her condition continued to deteriorate (I live hundreds of miles from Chattanooga and couldn't be with my sister at that time Nor do we have family there.)
Dr*** searched for answers He was certain her condition was not a result of the cancer, which was in an early stage So, he called in other specialists Urologist, Cardiologist, Neurologist and Psychiatrist until a solution was found By phone, Dr*** kept me informed, and had each specialist keep me apprised as well If I had a question, either he himself or his physician assistant would return my call shortly
Dr*** would later determine that steroids he had prescribed for my sister for the cancer had caused some side effects that set off a downward spiral
Here's the salient point: Dr*** would not did not give up on my sister He was determined to restore her to health And, he kept me involved in her care, step by step After days in the hospital, my sister was improved enough to be transferred to a rehab facility, where she has rapidly progressed both physically and mentally
Dr*** is the doc you would HOPE to have if you were in a medical crisis
