Dr. John Paglia, MD

I had an appointment with this Doctor recently. I was late for my check in but not to my appointment. I get there 5 minutes before my appointment but failed to do my checkin. I completed it 2 minutes into my appointment and was told to reschedule by a rude lady named Julie who said the doctor said that he would not see me. I came there because I had swollen red lower legs and have a history of superficial blood clots in my leg. This doctor knew the reason for my visit and should have known my prior condition since it was in my charts from previous visits to this facility and did not care. I was forced to go to Saint Luke’s hospital which did care. They did the Doppler test and CT scans on my legs because they read my patient history which was on file and knew of my potential for blood clots. They provided the care that I needed which hopefully will prevent my situation from getting worse. I was told that had I been seen at Mountain Valley Orthopedic that I would have been sent to the hospital immediately. Saint Luke’s cared and Doctor John Paglia did not. My advise to anyone is to think twice about and even going there after what I experienced from the rude receptionist and her boss who did not care and this doctor who decided not to see me. If your health matters to you reconsider your options.

Did not explain post treatment recovery. I was left up a creek with no help at home and completely incapacitated. Very major pain absolutely unbearable for which I was not prepared for at that time period and no pain medicine was given. Literally hysterical out of my mind because of this.
