Update by user Sep 30, 2019 its been two months. I have not heard anything from Patient first. I have called numerous times only to get voicemail. considering lawsuit. Original review posted by user Aug 23, 2019 I fell on July 23rd this year. I could not put any pressure at all on my foot. I went to patient first for the injury. The doctor was so rushed, he did not listen to me when i told him i feel. He look at my swollen foot, poked it, and said i had gout. I said wait a minute, did you not hear me tell you I fell??? He said i never said that. So then he sends me for xrays. Upon returning to my room, i heard the xray tech tell him the theres a giant space in between two bones.. he comes on the room. Pulls up my xray and said theres no break, its just a bad sprain. I said what about that huge gap between my big toe bone and the bone next to it? There's clearly a issue. He told me it's normal and just the way i was laying my foot. te said it was a sprain abd woukd heal on its own. The nurse came in, roughly grabbed my foot abd wrapped it. Than gave me crutches, lost patience with me gecause i could not stand on my own because my foot hurt so bad. She walked me out to the lobby and left me. Tte next morning, they called to tell ne after the radiologist found a small fracture and i shoukd see my pcp asap. I called my doctor who immeadiately made a appointment with a orthopedic surgeon because it was a serious injury. I had to go to patient first to pick up the xrays to take with me. Upon reading the report, they khew how severe my injury was and did not inform me. I wound up with 2 fractures, a dislocation, and i destroyed my Lisfranc ligament. I have to have a extensive surgery to fix it. I actually made the injury worse by walking on it because i was told the fracture was no big deal and it was just sprained. I also gad to have a bone graft done to fix the problem. Im out of work for at least 4 months. I will never go there again.
