This is a case of medical malpractice of Dr. Shahid Wahid of Digestive Associates of Las Vegas who unknowingly perforated my stomach in an attempt to remove a small submucosal nodule by EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection) following a EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound) examination on March 31,2017. Consequently, I underwent an emergency open-abdomen surgery by a general surgeon to repair the perforation and remove the infections caused by the stomach leakage on April 11,2017.

The conducts of Dr. Wahid and his Office that may be considered deviations from the acceptable medical practices include: (1) Dr. Wahid did not inform me personally the potential risk of stomach perforation neither at the time of the appointment, nor immediately before the procedure, although a routine consent paper was signed by me at the Hospital; (2) It is inexplicable that EMR removal of a small (approximately 1 cm) and well defined lesion within the submucosa resulted in ultimate perforation of the stomach which went unrecognized for 11 days. It is obvious that it was attributable to Dr. Wahids surgical error, carelessness, or mis-judgement; (3) Dr. Wahid did not approach me or my husband and personally explain what was actually transpired at the surgery and what necessary precautions to be taken immediately after the procedure; (4) the Office staff did not respond to my repeated calls for advice for pain relief after the procedure; (5) Dr. Wahid failed to order proper investigative tests on April 5,2017 when I was called in to see a nurse practitioner, having already learned about my distress and complaints. This negligence resulted in delaying the diagnosis of stomach perforation and causing a life threatening situation on my part.

The pain, suffering, and near death experience I underwent are beyond description. In addition, this negligence resulted in my permanent bodily injuries that include:

1) A long permanent scar on my abdomen and occasional pain at the surgery site, and

2) decreased stomach capacity and disturbance of my normal eating habits.

First of all, staff team are so good and cooperative especially reception team is also very friendly, Sindy is also very good team member, very good, smiling face. Everything was so good and tension free. I appreciate their good efforts. Thankful to them.

I moved from Upstate NY to Melbourne Fl. About 9 months ago. At the time I needed to start finding Doctors to care for me. I found the best GP (Drs. Newmarch and Balaci). I also needed a cardiologist (Dr. Patel), a Nephrologist (Dr. Ahmed), an Endocrinologist (Dr. Szoke) and a Gastroenterologist (Dr. Jathal). A neurologist (Dr. Newman) and an Orthopedic surgeon(Dr. Harrison). I have to be the luckiest patient in the world to find every one of them to be compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable. They all make time to listen and help. My experiences with these Docs has been nothing but positive. I have never experienced this before. I had to mention all of them and to say a personal Thank You for their care and kindness.

WLIA is more than amazing to work with. They are so prepared to answer every question and made me feel so comfortable with my decision to move forward with Gastric Sleeve surgery. My surgery was Nov. 13,2015 performed by Dr. Michael Orris. He did an outstanding job. I've had to call his team at WLIA several times with questions the week following surgery and they were so kind and helpful. Knowing now what I know I would do it over and over again. I highly recommend WLIA."

Not only do Doctors write their own reviews on this website but if they are Plastic Surgeons they pay a fee to get bad reviews taken down. I tried to write a review for a cosmetic surgeon who botched up his work on me and it never got posted even though I tried multiple times. Then later when I tried again I kept getting the message 'someone from your location has already posted a review' even though my review was never posted. Do not trust ratemds especially not for plastic surgeons.
