Dr. Alexander A Gaidarski, MD

Worst MD who has ever "treated" me. I went to the ER due to a ruptured cyst. Dr. Gaidarski forced me to lay on my back even when I told him repeatedly that I am unable to do so due to the pain. I attempted anyways due to his persistence and in the few seconds I was able to lay there, he proceeded to push on my abdomen. I proceeded to groan in pain and sat back up to which he said to me, "You need to learn to control yourself". Excuse me? The CT that was done afterward showed my belly was filled with blood and he tells me I need to control myself? I'd like to see him control himself if he was kicked between the legs. After he saw my CT and realized I had a serious emergency, his tone changed and proceeded to lecture me about my "serious medical condition". Well duh, why else would I be in an EMERGENCY room? This MD is rude, inattentive, condescending, and slow. It took him over an hour to see me when I was the only patient there.

Two very bad and frightening experiences at this man's hands makes our family avoid him. One family member was having an anaphylactic reaction bad enough for an emergency clinic to send them to Methodist Hospital. Gairdarski's recommendation - drink Gatorade! We had to remove that family member and take them to a different hospital where they received proper medical care. A second emergency with unexplained and several bowel pain resulted in the same physician dosing the patient with a medicine that bears a warning against using it on patients with unexplained bowel pain. The result? The patient breathing kept stopping and his wife, with no to little help from the EMT tech and the nurse standing in the room, had to keep shaking him and talking to him to keep him breathing. After some research, I have found that at least one other physician has filed charges and complaints against this physician regarding his practices. Please, never allow this physician to treat you or a family member.
