text: What kind of physician and his staff would be so irresponsible as to bar reentry of their patients admin and next of kin from an office visit that was planned MONTHS in advance Dr Howard Coker of the Diagnostic Center or Medicine that is who My mother is diabetic and has Wernickes aphasia She is completely unable to retain information that is dictated to her and does not speak in complete sentences or is capable of cohesive thought She puts on a good show to mask it but if you listen carefully and interact with her thoroughly you catch on that something is wrong Dr Coker and his staff are not fit to practice with mentally impaired patients for their office is a fortress and their staff are nothing but sentinels who do not have all their ducks in a row when issuing information and procedures nYes it is true my mother forgot to bring her prescriptions with her and I should have supervised caught the mistake as her admin HOWEVER leniency should be allowed for human error especially when critical information is involved Coker is an egotist He has an unprofessional colloquial bed side manner and in all this time has not noticed that my mother is mentally impaired Other doctors who are not part of an HMO can Why did not he Did he just make inferences from my mothers class that she was in the habit of dropping the subjects from her sentences That is a trait of lower income groups I will give him that but a glance into my mothers medical history and past career should tell him that this woman was an prominent admin and suffered a stoke Therefore perhaps their is more to why she is incoherent nTo highlight another bad physician Dr Coiman of UMC podiatry is just as terrible with his negligence Why did not my mothers former podiatrist who is also part of an HMO not recognize both the aphasia after seeing my mom for YEARS and a vapid mental state during her last visit to him that caused her to shit herselfwithout her even knowing iton the way home last summer You do not send senior out on paratransit in ub heat in a mental haze What kind negligent monster can Dr Coiman be An HMO physician that is what I have a feeling that if these physicians were not part of an HMO no one would see themnThe good thing that came out of the Dr Coiman incident that resulted in septicemia from her own excrement just days later is that my mother found great superhero doctors at Summerlin Medical Centers emergency room which are unfortunately out of plan but well worth the medical bills Now that Coker has made this mistake and the open enrollment has begun we shall leave his professional company like we did Coimans nBeware of Las Vegas HMOs everyone Stick to the Summerlin Medical Center if you can and their company of very capable physicians I will not name the superhero team who saved my mom here for I do not want them to be confused with the two phuck ups Coker and Coiman Just know that the Summerlin physicians saved my mom with a flick of a scalpel and a flush of vancomicin and are worthy of Asclepius divine tutelage Once again for the sake of your sanity and good conscience avoid HMOs in the Las Vegas area stick to the better hospitals like Summerlin Medical Center and your retired dotty aging loved one will be better cared for nnnMay your mommys retirement be a happy one filled with tea and good things to eatnnAshanti Miller
