Helena Surgery Clinic - Helena, Arkansas

TeQuila Mitchell

I've been going to my primary dr for some really bad pains located in my stomach upper abdomen and lower back since February 2018. I had xrays done came back normal then was order a kidney ultrasound. Good news was that my kidneys were fine but I had some serious Gallstones, when I asked what could be done about it I was told surgery was needed. On April 22, 2018 I went to the ER because my pains were becoming unbearable. Once the ER looked at my ultrasound he came in my room with my discharge papers as well as the number for Dr. Marquez and told me that I needed to make an appointment because I needed surgery to have the gallstones removed. April 24, 2018 my primary Dr office called to confirm that my ultrasound showed gallstones and asked how I was feeling and I said miserable. So April 25, 2018 I called Dr. Marquez office to set up an appointment to be seen. May 2, 2018 I went for my Dr visit. After telling Dr. Marquez what was the problems he became very unprofessional and very rude and told me he didn't think I knew what I was talking about and wasn't convinced that it was my gallstones even though he can clearly see them in my ultrasound and to come back when I know for sure. I was so hurt and upset by the way he talked to me and dismissed that all I could do was sit there and cry. I was only in his presence all of 5 minutes with only a handshake and ignored. The following morning I drop myself to Clarksdale Mississippi to the ER. They ran test, did xrays, drew blood, did cat scans only to tell me that I have gallstones and need surgery. My stomach has swollen up so bad I look like I'm pregnant pain has increased and beyond miserable. Clarksdale has done more for me in a few hours than my primary dr and dr Marquez done in almost 3 months. I'm very disappointed in how I was treated by Dr Marquez. There's no way I'll let him perform my surgery after that encounter.
