Dr. Smith discharaged me from Hi-Desert Medical Center saying my mitral valve was fine and just to follow up with my primary care dr. and cardiologist. Said my labs were ok too. When I was given a copy of the paperwork, I had severe mirtal valve stenosis, really bad labs and an arrhythmia of the heart. I needed emergency surgery a day and a half later at Eisenhower to replace myi bad mitral valve. Watch out for this Dr. He and the case manager said if they thought I was sick enough, they would have transferred me. He never looked at the reports. If you see him, run away quickly!
