Eric Otterson, PA-C

Not a good experience. Brought my son to check for possible appendicitis. Before examining him he said "I do not think he has appendicitis. There is a 3 hour wait. I don't know what I can do." I asked if he could order blood work. He said, "I don't even know what I would check for." What about white cells I asked? He said "I guess I could order a basic panel." He expressed disbelief that a provider had sent us to the ER to check for appendicitis and questioned me several times as to whether or not I had actually spoke to a provider and then asked who it was. (It was my son's pediatrician). I asked about the possibility of mono to account for the abdominal pain after the physical exam and how the spleen felt I was told there was no way he had mono and even if he did it would be too early to test positive for mono.

Blew off his patient. Did not care to listen to patient history, complaints, and didnt seem to know what he was talking about. Didnt bother to do a proper exam therefore did not see an ear infection that was present in the patient and labelled the patient as faking. Which was untrue and this was proven the following day at a doctors appointment.
