Dr. Michele Lea Mcclendon, DO

Felt she was interested in my situation

Did not give patient(husband) the kind of care needed. Did not answer two pages from the hospital. Refused my request for additional physician, two different times. When it was too late, she called in several that she knew would not be able to help him. He needed the help in the beginning....Not at the end, when it was too late... He passed away at under her care. His physician was off duty when all this occured. I reported all this to the hospital, which they did not care. Another specialist offered to help and when I asked her, she very blatantly said NO... she refused to let him help, but as soon as she knew there was no help for him, she waited to call another specialist in that would agree w/her..She was unhappy that she had gotten in trouble because she was too busy to answer her page, not once but two times, and so she wasn't helpful to me when it came to his care. Also, when it was WAY to late,she did call in the other specialist to see him, (which was one of my husband's original doctors that had been seeing him)and he came in to visit, which is a very good smart doctor. But it was too late to do anything to help him. I know several of the hospital staff were very shocked to know that my husband had degraded to the state he was in from when he went into the hospital, and then for him to pass away. She did not care...Stay away from her...more than one person I have come across that has been unhappy with her care. Oh yes, one doctor that offered to me to help in the beginning was released from the hospital staff..WHY ?????
