Patient Reviews
Aug 05, 2023
Dr Amy treated my brother in the ER a few weeks ago. Kept him in the ER all night long presumably to admit him. In the morning came in and said there was nothing he could do for him so he was discharging him. My brother was a cancer patient at Opelousas General for colon cancer. Surgery to remove colon and insert a colostomy bag was performed there. The next day he was in the ER in Lafayette. Was admitted to the hospital and given great medical care. Had surgery to put a stint in his kidney giving some immediate relief. Two days later underwent another surgery to move colostomy bag lower and straighten out his colon. All of these things should have been seen and attended to by Dr Amy.
