I was referred to McCullough by my primary physician to get concerning imaging looked at, upon arriving I waited in a room by myself for 45 minutes which I wasn’t upset about at this point. Finally, Dr. MCCullough and his med assistant (Sarah) entered the room, upon entering I realized the assistant and I knew each other which made me uncomfortable. Now, Hippa states that patients are to be asked before anyone else enters the room outside of the doctor or a nurse. Now a medical assistant is not included In either of those categories. I was not asked permission before entering, during the appointment MCCullough continued to ask me why I was there and that what I was saying didn’t make any sense. I was contradicted and once I started to become visibly upset and express that I had a panic disorder which caused me to get worked up easily the medical assistant Sarah began to enter the conversation telling me “Dr. MCCullough is a god send and is trying to help you.” I expressed to her that I understood that but frankly it was none of her concern and her comment was completely inappropriate and unprofessional as I was already in tears, shaking, and trying to catch my breath. At this time I told both of them I was unsatisfied with the visit and would not be returning. I left the office that day in a full panic attack, so bad I had to go see my primary doctor that day to prescribe me new medication for my anxiety and just so that I could have someone to talk to. I called and made two different complaints regarding Hippa violations. 110% do not recommend, I will never return. The only good thing about the office were the nurses that checked me in.
