Report
Praying that after full treatment I have a different review to give. My father has suffered from a serious concussion and suffers deceased memory and cognitive impairment yet Im
Not allowed to go into the appointment to insure he is properly advocated for. Im sadden and disappointed that the value of questioning those closes to someone with a head injury is not being considered when they are assessing their patients. Definitely concerning and doesnt give a sense of trust in the staff and doctors. I will reply back after we finish in hopes to give a better report.
