Review of Charleston, South Carolina

Frightening rate of medical malpractice.
Star Rating - 7/21/2021
Serious lack of health care and "good old boys club" whereby doctors will not even see the patient but diagnose them based on referring doctor. My sister died there for lack of proper diagnosis and being refused from at least three specialists because they based their diagnosis from the first doctor she saw who referred her for second opinion. How I wish she got on a plane to NY or FL or even GA. It's like a 3rd world country when it comes to healthcare and education and females are treated as they were in the early 1900's. Her doctor laughed at her and told her she was being hyper paranoid. For real, this is a frightening place if you are ill.

I am in Dallas, and to be fair, medical doctors suck everywhere. They do not diagnose patients by symptoms any more. My mom had a pleural effusion and pericarditis. Her doctor just sent her home. He had not even done an adequate x-ray.

I've had nothing but the best care from my doctors (general practitioner, cardiologist, dentist).

Lived here 7 years now, and could not agree more. Healthcare here is terrible. They are more worried about padding their stats than actual health care. MUSC kept putting off my wife's heart valve surgery for weeks, as she lay dying at home until I just rented a car and drove to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, who couldn't believe they didn't do the surgery right away. Mayo Clinic had to admit her for a week to get her healthy enough to do the surgery.
