Dr. Christopher Walton Roney, MD

Great

During my recent illness, Dr. Roney proved to be a very competent and compassionate healer. He really went to extraordinary lengths to make sure I was feeling better and had responded to the therapy. I felt like he spent alot of time to answer my questions and address my concerns. Being ill creates a great deal of anxiety in addition to your physical ailment. I felt much better knowing that Dr. Roney was taking care of me. I would definitely recommend him for my future illnesses or for any member of my family if needed.

We are constantly bombarded today with the country's health professionals encouraging a more informed public. However I met Dr. Roney and when I asked him a question regarding something read on Google it was like Dr. Roney and Mr. Hyde. He became so upset and admonished me for simply being curious and looking up something on google and then to have the AUDACITY to ask him about it. Was I a Doctor? Was I a Respiratory Therapist? Did I have any business diagnosing a patient? And to become so involved with being angry at me, regardless of the repeated apologies, that he doesn't focus on the patient for several minutes, instead focusing on having me evicted from my family members room. Well simply asking a question and diagnosing a patient are two different matters. Dr. Roney your bed side manner leaves much wanting. Remember when dealing with frightened family members that you are only there 5 maybe 10 minutes of the day to answer questions (if you don't lose your cool over the question… to begin with) so the rest of the time we either must sit in the dark without knowledge waiting patiently for you the fire bringer to impart your wisdom upon the ignorant masses or we can do as the U.S. Surgeon General said and "be a better educated patient."
