Dr. Lingappa Amarchand is currently taking care of one of my dearest friends. Thank you for allowing God to use you Dr. Amarchand.

If I could give this internist less than 1 star I would. Unfortunately he has cared for my husband who was an ER admit. Dr. told my husband, who has issues with cognition, he was ready to discharge my husband but I would not let my husband come home. Truth of the matter is husband was still experiencing 9/10 abdominal pain after a recent surgery and I had concerns of complications from same. With it being a holiday weekend, GI specialist was not available to see my husband. This doctor was not confident enough to still discharge after these concerns were brought to his attention and instead of owning that, blamed me instead and upset a patient who was already ill and attempting to recuperate. ACHA and CMS will be notified.

I have had two encounters with this hospital. One, eleven years ago when we found our stepmother who was confused from a fall and surgery. She was tied to the bed and the staff had put her breakfast in front of her and out of her reach of her tied hands. Breakfast untouched and cold. That was neglect. Reported it at that time. Continued horrible treatment until we could get her out of there. The second encounter was a week ago today. My daughter went there very sick. She was treated as a drug addict from the minute she was admitted. She is NOT and has never been an IV drug user. The following day, my daughter was even sicker, in terrible pain. Dr. Amarchand came into my daughters room, did not introduce himself, walked up to her bed and asked my daughter in the rudest way if she was a drug addict. She said no and he said that she would have to see what's the antibiotics would do. My daughter, sick and in pain asked him if she could have something for pain. He said "I don't do narcotics' and walked out. We fired the doctor at 12:00 pm. Two more people walked into her room that afternoon and asked her if she was a drug addict. About 2pm a person came in and gave her a list of about 50 doctors. She was told she needed to call the doctors on the list to find a doctor who will accept her case. My daughter was laying there crying , in pain, nauseated. My daughter came to the hospital to get care. If her doctor does not provide care to her and is abusive, and neglectful, she had the right to fire him. The hospital should then provide her with another doctor. My sick daughter should not have to "shop" for a doctor. My daughter was also very nauseated upon arrival to the ER. She had requested something for the nausea in the ER, after she was admitted and all the next day. After almost 24 hours, she had no doctor, no relief from pain or nausea. We left AMA at 8pm. We drove to Trinity ER with my daughter in excruciating pain, vomiting and completely humiliated. Trinity ER staff and MD's were amazing. They had nausea and pain under control before she was even admitted. She has been very sick for 7 days and still remains at the hospital being treated with dignity and compassion. Spring Hill hospital has a very bad reputation within the community, I know why. Patients pain is what the patient says it is. If pain medication is not working, then something else should be tried, not neglected. Nobody, especially a professional doctor should come in and treat a patient like that. If a doctor like Dr. Amarchand doesn't have compassion and neglects to treat a patient, he should not be a doctor. I would not take my dog to be treated by him or Spring Hill hospital. By the way, the hospital was filthy and Privacy acts were not followed. We will be pursuing action against the doctor and hospital for inappropriate behavior and neglect of duties.

This doctor showed great mercy and kindness to my mother in her time of need and I am grateful to this man.thank you
