I keep hearing she is a wonderful doctor, respected by others in the community. However, my mother was on blood thinner Xarelto. She called for over 2 months to get her prescription refilled. Her insurance company called too. Ironically she was hospitalized the week of Thanksgiving and yes - they discovered blood clots in both legs and 2 pulmonary embolisms, one in each lung. Guess what, the Xarelto showed up in the mail the day after she was hospitalized without any communication from Dr.'s office. Then, she goes to see the doctor who sends her home with an oxygen tank and tells her she has to be on it 24/7 and to make an appointment with Lung doc. On December 22, after she had been on oxygen for 2 weeks, she discovers there is no oxygen in the tank. No one showed her how to use it, refill it, etc. So, she calls the office again and again and again - no help. We took the tank back to Dr. and her office tells us we should have called the number on the tank. We did and were sent to the place (many miles away from Doctors office) and they inform is it is not legal to give a patient oxygen without a prescription. When they get a prescription, they actually contact the patient and deliver to the house and provide instruction for use. What a joke. Fire your staff if you are a good doctor and you may have a chance. Communication is horrid.
I concur with all of the previous reviews about Dr. Wierman's lack of basic adequate communication with patients/families and complete staff incompetence.
My father was a patient of hers with stage 4 colon cancer and he is now near death because of complications from her treatment.
It was nearly impossible to schedule appts. or even contact anyone in her office, she did not personally respond to any inquiries I made about my fathers care, and when he was able to see her she was always running extremely late and never spent more than 5 minutes with him. She also never answered questions directly and would not explain her reasoning for ordering new tests/treatments. Even when I would ask her specific questions about my fathers care she would give a curt sarcastic answer or completely evade it. I personally found her communication skills to be completely lacking.
I wish now the we would have gotten a second opinion about his care and chosen a different oncologist.
