We visted this doctor for a year for my daughter's right side pain which Dr. Mark Middleton of Hiram, Georgia, incorrectly diagnosed as Crohn's Disease instead of appendicitis. As a result, that nasty appendix sat atop a young girl's fallopian tube for an entire year ... resulted in permanent, irreversible damage and surgeries that could have been prevented. The bad part is that our family pled with Mark Middleton to PLEASE check for appendicitis during our VERY FIRST visit, but he insisted that chronic appendicitis didn't exist. HE IS WRONG. So, all young girls with right side pain should DEMAND to be checked for appendicitis IMMEDIATELY. If the physician refuses, RUN for another one ... fast. We worked too long with the WellStar system. Visit a local Atlanta university medical center for a quick, accurate diagnosis and professional care.

This doctor exploited questionable behavior and diagnosing procedures. Basically, he diagnosed Crohn's Disease instead of appendicitis for an entire year. That misdiagnosis meant that a nasty appendix sat atop a young teen's reproductive organs for a year resulting in multiple surgeries and permanent, painful adhesions.
