Client Review on Carteret Health Care

Feedback:

The only area that has any competency is the Maternity ward. I have gone in numerous times for severe low back pain in the past 6 years. Every time I went I would give them the exact symptoms of a herniated disc. They would only run xrays, then tell me it was only low back strain. They would then seemingly write me off as a drug seeker. The one time they gave me a cat scan, I was told there was nothing wrong and that it was yet again low back strain. I went to an orthopedic surgeon (who looked at the same scan) a week later. The first thing he told me was that I had a nasty herniated disc. I have since had a herniated disc repair and a spinal fusion. I was dropped by workmans comp (I have found since then he has continously done it after every visit I have with him) because Dr. Chad Albaugh falsified his dictations of my chart. The nursing staff is no better. They have absolutely no idea what they're doing save only a couple of them. Every time I have to have an IV they blow my viens. Unfortunately no lawyers in the area will take my case, it's like they're afraid of this place. There is clear malpractice going on here and the doctors have seemingly recieved their medical degrees out of a crackerjack box. If it weren't for the maternity ward I'd give this place 0 stars. If you can, go to Carolina East in New Bern.
