Cardiothoracic Surgeon who are Physicians - Jackson, TN

"I must admit I am shocked by the behavior of this particular doctor. Be very careful if you chose him or are just being sent to him. He has a lot of ego and will have preconceived notions about you before he steps into the room. After my experience with him, I am going say he doesn’t like overweight or obese people. He talked at us not to us, he wouldn’t let my husband or I say anything, he talked above us. I felt like he truly believed I was stupid and didn’t understand I was high risk. I am not stupid, my diabetes alone makes me high risk. He first told me to go home and hope the medications worked (I have 2 blockages at 70% and one at 90%). I need triple bypass. Then he said maybe call my cardiologist and ask to be stented when the cath report said I wasn’t a candidate for stenting. We tried to rectify the situation but again his ego got in the way and I am guessing he was butt hurt because of my attitude and words. Now none of the doctors in his office will talk to me. Closest surgeon is almost 3 hours away. I have had some out there experiences with different doctors in my life but nothing like this. Please rethink this doctor and anyone associated with him. Because of this we have to move. And honestly I really hope karma pays him a visit!!"
