Dr. Christopher G Hedley, MD

His assistant is rude. Avoid her. This doctor, per his dismissive assistant, refused to allow an elderly paralyzed patient's MRI Comparison of Pre-Op to Post-Op Following Severe Surgery Side Effects just because his team of radiologists at Huntington Memorial Hospital and Huntington Hill Imaging REFUSED to do prior comparisons of 2017 to 2018 images, which would provide inside into post-operative changes affecting the collapse of an elderly patient's spine posture which affects organ compression and then there was the severe pain in the lower back. How is that excusable? It's not. It's mean and it's insensitive. This doctor was also not dispatched to evaluate the patient who was submitted to insurance by the neurosurgeon as having severe pain, even though this did not exist in the first place. The surgical team did this to get an elective surgery approved, when they could have approached it as the emergency and urgency that it was. Apparently, it may not have been medically safe or… necessary, given Dr. Hedley's Radiology team's MRI and CT readings of the patient, which the surgical team, may have discounted. The patient never saw Dr. Hedley prior to surgery for interventional radiology or pain management because there was no severe pain in existence. Apparently, lower leg numbness, ataxia, traumatic brain/neck injury were never treated with any steroids nor monitored more closely. Instead, the Huntington Memorial Hospital Team allowed this patient to fulfill as a rushed replacement for the surgeon's/hospital's last minute cancellation a month earlier than previously scheduled. This needs to be investigated and looked into. The patient was ruined. The quality of life of the elderly patient was destroyed all because of the selfishness of going through with a surgery that was clearly badly managed and planned out

Excellent physician in every way
