Bonnie Hayashi, MD

She picked me up in the hospital after being admitted with recurring symptoms of an illness that has not bothered me for a couple years. She repeatedly ordered the same send out test numerous times a day and these are test that do not change and do not need to be repeated that often. She contradicted everything my previous Neurologist told me. I moved so had to change DR. She never looks you in the eye and does not answer questions. When I had my follow up visit in the office she never looked at me, but had her face glued to the computer the entire time with her back to me. She asked me to walk, but never turned around to watch me. Once again she answered no questions. I will be changing doctors.

My wife was admitted to Hendricks following a stroke. It was on a Friday around 3 PM. They had ran some test at the Hendricks South Side ER. When we got to the room at Hendricks we were told that they wanted to a EKG on her and it was ordered. We waited all weekend for that EKG due to the doctor not marking it stat. Which was the determining factor of what the plan was going to be going forward. In the mean time both Bonnie Hayashi, MD, and Antao Du, M.D told us my wife had an occluded (blocked) Left carotid artery and there was nothing that can be done due the fact it was completely blocked On monday she had the EKG twice because the first time they forgot to do part of the test that was ordered. She was released and we were told what to watch out for and she was prescribed asprin aa a blood thinner and Lipitor for cholesterol. 3 Days after release she had another stroke I took her back to ER and she was admitted again. I had already been doing some research and decided to have her… transferred to UT SOUTHWESTERN in Dallas. Where she was properly diagnosed with MOYAMOYA DISEASE and did did not nor does she have an occluded carotid artery. She has had the surgery need to fix the problem by doing a craniotomy and doing a bypass on her middle cerebral artery. I still cannot figure out how 2 separate Doctors can misdiagnose her like they did. Is it because they just took the word of each other and didn't even study everything they had available. Bottom line if we had listened to them my wife would have continued to have strokes further damaging her brain and even Dealth.
