Dr. Christian Jacob Rickman, MD

stay away

Just for checking the heart rate he sent me a bill for $875.

I came to ER with shortness of breath, pain and bright orange urine. He was condescending, impersonal and did not listen, told me I was "fine" and sent me home. The "fine" turned out to be, not only a bacterial infection, but Hemolytic Anemia and Splenic Cancer!

Abrupt, impersonal, and inconsiderate. Treatment was perfunctory. The nurses and other hospital staff were wholly supportive and sympathetic, but the MD had little to no bedside manner nor sense of professionalism. I would have been better to seek treatment at a 24/7 clinic.

I still cant believe my experience with this Dr. He was very rude and didnt know anything . He actually yelled at me , and did nothing to help me at all , just told me to basically leave when I was in so much pain I couldnt do that . He screamed at me when I yelled in pain . I left the hospital ER only to end up with yet another 911 call as I had passed out from the pain . I had a torn hamstring and he gave me no ice , didnt suggest elevating it , and finally when I started begged him for something he said well I suppose we could try wrapping it ( uh duh ) Everyone knows RICE - rest , ice , compression and Elevation but obviously not this DR . He refused to give me a muscle relaxant or any kind of pain medicine . Treated me like I was a drug addict making it all up -when I came in an ambulance after falling at a restaurant , doing the splits in front of 50 people . I am filing a complaint with the Hospital - no one should be treated this way , my husband was livid .
