Dr. Esses misdiagnosed me, I had a tumor that was indicated in the MRIs and Cat Scans she ordered but for some reason she reported to me that the tests were normal. It wasn't until my symptoms got worse that the mistake was finally discovered.

I was referred to Dr. Esses because she was supposed to some expert. She did a thorough exam, ordered all the tests etc. She called and sent me a letter saying my MRI and Cat Scans were normal and that I just had tinnitus from chronic ear infections and hearing damage from load noises and referred me to see another Dr. for migraines for the headaches and dizziness. I proceeded to go to Dr after Dr trying to be treated for the headaches and nothing was working. Each Dr. saw that Dr. Esses bad reported back normal tests and because she was an expert, they did not question it so they just kept looking for something else. After a while, Dr.s started treating my like crap. For years symptoms got worse, caused me to fall a lot so I was constantly getting hurt, my headaches and dizziness were so bad I eventually had trouble working, I had anxiety and depression from the chronic pain, I was put on medications that made me worse or were addictive because Dr. s were just trying to write me off. I eventually couldn't work, lost my insurance and went bankrupt from medical bills then almost died when my liver started to go out from all the aspirin I was taking. I went from a functioning healthy, happy young woman with a great career, money in the bank and my own home, to someone who couldn't even get out of bed. Eventually I lost everything, and I had to move home to my parents. Being in a new state, no one new Dr. Esses which was to my benefit. My family Dr. decided to repeat the tests which were abnormal, then he ordered the actual reports from my old tests and discovered that they were also abnormal. He requested my records from Dr. Esses and saw the letter and reports she sent to the Dr.s which all said NORMAL. I was outraged but relieved at the same time because I finally knew what was wrong. I was encourage to get a lawyer but it turns out there is a 3 year limitation so there is no way to recoupe my losses.

I don't know how this happened, I can only say to everyone that if you have tests that say NORMAL, ask for the radiology reports and look yourself. Or insist they are repeated, do not let anyone tell you otherwise. I find myself fortunate that the type of tumor I have is slow growing and benign, had I had something more serious I could be dead. Having a new group of doctors now helping me and who care, has completely turned my life around. But its very hard for me to look back at what I lost, the years of suffering and being treated terribly, simply because someone made a mistake.

I didn't have to wait at all after I arrived for my appointment. They were running right on time, which is a really big deal for me. I couldn't believe how promptly they contacted me with my test results. It really showed how much they care about their patients. They listened closely to everything I was telling them, and showed a lot of attention to detail. I've never had to worry about them forgetting something or not reading my information correctly, which I've encountered at other places. I was very satisfied with my visit. They were helpful and I left feeling encouraged.
