When we lived in Florida, I was Blessed to have wonderful Dr.s, for everyday and every surgery or whatever my problem was. I started having surgeries when I was1 and again age 10, leg surgeries. 2007 left total knee replacement, 2012, below the Knee Amputation. I have a partial bionic neck and two partial bionic legs. We moved to West Virginia to be closer to my parents who are both 86. Mom was going to Dr Mauzy Pronounced; ( Mau- Zee ) . I decided I would also, since I drive her everywhere. He is not as outgoing, and forceful as my Florida Drs. I still liked him. Now after 2 years, I'm not sorry. He is caring, and he listens. His staff think the world of him. I'm thankful to call Dr Mauzy, my family Dr. I had Been sick for a little over a year. Symptoms same as my stomach cancer. The cancer was at the top of my stomach and It was affecting my Esophagus. Same symptoms, getting much worse. Dr. Mauzy sent me for a HIDA scan. Same test as I had in Florida for my cancer. In Florida I was given the HIDA TEST completely different. A HIDA scan. In this test, a radioactive material called hydroxy iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) is injected into the patient. The radioactive material is taken up by the gallbladder to measure gallbladder emptying function. This test also is referred to as cholescintigraphy. Well...... I did not hear from the Drs office, ( I know they are very busy) I called. I was told my Gall Bladder was completely Dead. It came out several days later. Dr Mauzy and I are going for another round, I went to see him June 19, 2018. He sent sent me to the lab in the same building to have blood work. Wow!! 8 vials , I know he is checking for Thyroid, and also Celiac disease. The other vials well he is thorough. Drs are Human, I am thankful he listens, he cares, and he will do what it takes to see why you are feeling you do. Hypochondriacs ? I'm not sure. I'm not being mean, I know one. Insurance got the point, they were not going to pay for her Ambulance, nor 80% of her unnecessary medical. If you do not have a Dr. ... Dr Mauzy and his staff, are the some of the very best.
