Emergency Medicine Doctors - Scottsdale, AZ

"Martini told me my High Blood Pressure wasn't enough for me to be in the ER and that I should have waited a month to see my doctor when the Urgent Care and my primary doctor's office told me to go to the ER because my BP was 175/126. When I got to the ER it was 173/121. He also insinuated that my symptoms were not from the High BP and that this was all anxiety when I have zero symptoms of anxiety nor a history of it. "

"This ED Physician must have forgotten that he took the Hippocratic Oath which is sacred to Medical Doctors especially “I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them free from harm and injustice “. I always believed and told people that The Mayo Clinic is the ABSOLUTE BEST Hospital that provides the best care in the U.S.A. Until my horrific encounter with Erik Shawn Gauharou, MD as the ED attending physician last night! He is absolutely the most inept, incompetent and uncompassionate physician that I have ever seen in my professional career. I am a post-surgical patient. One week after my surgery, I passed out, was incredibly nauseous, could not stop vomiting and was in severe pain. I decided to go to the ER to make sure there was not more damage to my surgical sight. This physician did not even take the time to look at my wrist which still has 10 stitches. He did, however, order X-rays and a C Erik Shawn Gauharou, MD but he clearly did not look at any of my labs or radiology results or he would have known that the X-ray showed soft tissue swelling at the wrist which is not normal after surgery. He would also have noticed that my lab work showed increased presence of infection, which is a huge concern after any surgery. It took two hours to receive a pain tablet and he did nothing for my nausea until prior to discharge after I repeatedly begged him to give me something for nausea…after quite a few minutes of going back and forth about this, he became very rude, started to walk out of my room while I was still talking to him, talked over me, pointed and waved his finger at me then continued to walk out of my room. My potassium was low but he was not concerned about that because that was not his problem or concern at the moment."
