I have had the misfortune of seeing Dr.F. twice. Both times I was misdiagnosed. The last time I had a large lump in the groin area,severe pain. Dr. F. diagnosed me as having an infection gave me a prescription. He stated that if I was in a hospital setting, he could run tests. Following day went to ER, pain was worse, medication was causing dizziness and and confusion. ER doctor conferred with the hospitalist, who turned out to be Dr. Fothergill. Advised to just an infection and continue with med. took blood and urine sample. Next day went to Primary Care Dr., pain was worse. Dr. called the surgeon who saw me immediately. In a few minutes, he told me I had a hernia. Emergency surgery was needed. I will never see Dr. F. again.
