Patient Reviews
May 17, 2025
I brought my child to the st Luke’s quakertown er to be looked at. We’ll let me tell you I was not prepared for the horrible experience and scaring experience my son and I will son encounter. This doctor is more worried about calling child and youth on good parents then doing her job! Not only did this “doctor” not even look at my child she kept questioning a minor talking photos without my consent. Then when you question her and ask for her to do her job and take care of the patient she gets very hostile making things up. Very much deflecting from the actual reason why we’re there. When I saw how for left this was gong for no reason I attempted to take my child and leave. This “doctor” had the nerve to tell me I couldn’t take my child and grabbed him. I let her know to take her hands off my child and I proceeded to leave. She then continued to make stories up and try to get “help” in a laughable attempt to stop us from leaving. what a joke!
