YELP: Dr. Ben Carson: All I’m hearing is how brilliant and what a great Pediatric Surgon

he is... I’m certainly not saying that there are not good reviews of the Dr. as well.I just find his statements
on the little girl’s insurance very relevant and worth noting.

This is the guy that the wing nuts at CPAC rolled out. A Black physician with a noted reputation who
personally insulted the POTUS at a Washington event.. He is the new Herman Cain I guess and has hinted that he might be available to run for POTUS in 2016.


His scores out of 5.....
1 1 1 1 We went to see Dr. Carson and he didn't even take the time to order new MRIs. He looked at an old MRI that was 5 years old and said my daughter didn't have Chiari. All he did with the 5 minutes he had my daughter was complain about my insurance company and how he never gets paid. Never took the time to exam my daughter and told me that going to the Chiari center in NY was a waste of time. Well, we went to NY and they found my daughter definitely had Chiari. They ran all kinds of tests and found that she has no fluid behind the base of her brain. She has damage to her vega nerve which has now slowed her stomach down and heart issues. Great Doctor. NY told us that Carson was a media doctor and if a case didn't give him media time or wasn't clear cut, then he wasn't going to be bothered.
Insurance: Blue Cross

GOP loves Dr Ben because he has no respect for Pres. Obama, and showed it on a national stage. Remember when speaking out against the president during war, or overseas was un American? Not with the Teabirchers. Dr Ben wants to remind America that healthcare should only be for the wealthy. No profits in curing the poor!
