Centerpoint Medical Center Of Independence: "I came in and had a fracture in my back. There was a surgeon there that did a fusion on me. It went ok but I was in terrible pain after. They send me to a nursing home afterwards and when I called to make an appointment for a follow up, they told me that my surgeon doesn’t really work there. He worked for one week and then was gone! Who lets a surgeon for one week and then never gets to see patients? Don’t’ come to this hospital if you care about yourself or your loved ones. They sure don’t. " - Angry
