James Allen Day, MD

My father went in for a triple bypass, Dr. Day was his Surgeon. After my father's surgery Dr. Day came out and told us he was doing very well but instead of the 3 he needed 7 to be done. He answered all questions for us and after only 5 day's my 67yr old father was released from the hospital and is home currently RECOVERING. Thank you so much Dr. Day and staff for literally saving my father's life.

Dr. James Day performed aortic valve replacement and triple by-pass surgery on my 84 y/o father. My father had an amazing recovery with excellent inpatient care by Dr. Day as well as follow-up since. Dr. Day has great bedside manner and was very attentive to both my fathers concerns and the family's concerns also. He also has a terrific nurse practioner who has been very helpful also.

My Stepfather received a quadrupple bypass and Aortic Valve replacement. Dr. Day I assume performed the surgery well. This review is pertaining to his post op care and lack of bedside manner. He told my stepdad to "Sssh, stop talking", has ignored his questions, and been very short with him while he was in Baptist on 9B. Also, my stepdad explained to Dr.Day and his APN that he has adverse reactions to Lipitor and to please not give him this medicine. The Dr. and his team wrote for Lipitor. Even after we found he was receiving it due to the symptoms it caused they said they would switch it to another Med and never did. The RN would continue to try to give the med for the next 3 days. Even when he went to rehab they sent records stating he was on Lipitor so rehab started trying to give it to him also. At his appt with Dr.Day I was on FaceTime so I could be present for the appt even though I was at work. When my stepdads friend who had went to the appt with him asked for clarification that he was getting a CT and was that going to be at Baptist or would he be transferred somewhere else? Dr. Day raised his hand as in saying shut up and said " We have got this handled and I have other things to do" and literally walked out the door. Had I not witnessed these occurrences with my own eyes I'm not sure I would have believed it. However, I did see these interactions. I have been an RN for 17 years and have never seen the likes of his unprofessionalism with a patient and/or the family. I also work in a large hospital and worked in a way that I encountered a large population of physicians. Just appalled in his lack of respect for fellow humans, truly.
