Dr. Amanda Algie Hemmer, MD

Dr. Hemmer "cared for" my father at St Elizabeth Edgewood hospital. She refused to discharge him without information from the specialists that follow him, but did not properly submit consults for the specialties to see him. I spoke with both specialties personally when they had not followed up and learned that she never actually submitted consults, resulting in him being hospitalized for an additional 24 hours for no reason other than her inept care. The following day a different hospitalist was on service, contacted the specialties correctly and he was discharged within hours. I cannot rank her "care" low enough, as she was rude and condescending to my father as well as myself, and caused an undue delay in his discharge which will ultimately cause my father to have to pay for an additional day of hospitalization.
