Tanner Medical Center - Carrollton: "I just went to the ER at Tanner Medical Center in Carrollton,Ga. My doctor Dr. Julio DeJesus was very disappointing. i asked him for something to help with pain. It didn’t work. Asked again for something. Didn’t work. He had a horrible bedside manner. Didn’t listen to all my concerns. Sent me home with a blood pressures of 210/130. Said I was fine and go home.I told the discharge nurse my chest was hurting too. He ordered an ekg after he discharged me and ten minutes later said I was fine and go home. I felt faint and so sick. worse than I had before coming in. My tronopin enzyme levels were elevated. Not that he checked but my doctor told me my levels were elevated and to go to the ER if my chest pain got worse. He dishonored his Hippocratic oath. He should be ashamed of himself and doctors everywhere. Then on top of that a man in the main waiting area was talking about guns calling the FBI and other disturbing remarks. I just clutched my purse and prayed! I hope I will never have to go back. I pray he will treat others in a better manner and actually help them. That he realizes a blood pressure of 210/130 is dangerous. I will be filing a complaint. This kind of treatment has to stop. He should be held accountable for his Hippocratic oath. Today he broke it with me. He needs to learn how to be professional and caring. He makes doctors everywhere look bad!" - Latoya

Tanner Medical Center - Carrollton: "Unless you want your loved I ne to die, I would not use this ER or Hospital. My mother has end-stage leukemia and essentially no platelets. She went there with a nosebleed and was in the exam room for 2 hours and still had NOT seen the doctor!! Her nurse blew her off as someone with "just a nosebleed." That's literally what the nurse told my mother! I am not a RN or even an LPN, but I do know and understand the meaning and urgency of a leukemia patient with a nosebleed! This place is a joke!!" - VICTORIA
