I had an emergency with a kidney stone. Shelgren was the only doctor that would take me on short notice. Ended up having 4 outpatient procedures-still needed another. As I was in recovery, I woke up hearing the nurses talk about the poor woman that was the last patient of the day. The machine had “broke” and delivered a huge “charge” to her right side. I was so sick and nauseous for days. Calling his office for help but was told to wait till the next day for my app’t. The next day I went in and had the x-ray that was standard procedure before the appointment. The fellow reading the x-ray came out of his office and asked me if I’ve been in a car accident. I said no I just had a kidney stone procedure. Needless to say, I was the woman that had been the last patient and that the machine head malfunctioned on. I waited for the doctor to tell me exactly what had happened on that last procedure. He never never once brought it up and only commented “ Are you feeling a little better now? We’ll wait another month before we do the next procedure.” I should’ve sued him just for the fact of his dishonesty. I could’ve understood the machine malfunctioning. That was beyond his control. But the fact that he let me lay at home for days before even seeing me and then didn’t have Enough honesty & Hippocratic Oath in his body to relate what really had happened. Disgusting doctor.
I ran – not walked-To the doctor I have now. He has treated me with out procedures and I have done really really well since.
I don’t recommend Dr. Shelgren to anyone.
