Patient Reviews
Aug 10, 2022
This “Doctor” just told my mother, who was just diagnosed 8 days ago with CHF, that he only sets aside 15 minutes for each patient and that she had already wasted 45 minutes of his time. She was short of breath and has a d dimer of 5. He told her to go “pop another Lasix, that she could go to the ED, but to get out of his office” HIS WORDS to my 73 year old mother. I have been in the medical field for 18 years and I am appalled that any doctor would speak to any patient like this. Just because he was having a bad day does NOT give him the right to treat anyone like they are trash. You are disgusting Dr Wharton. I hope you have the day and life you deserve. If anyone has any sense or if you care about yourself or your loved ones, you will stay far away from this so called professional. BE WARE!!!!!!!
