Dr. Rico Amancio G Aragon, MD

He was always great and took his time to make sure he had done everything needed but only what was needed to find out my problem. Missed him when he left. Next Doctor was not as good so we left the practice too. Within a year that practice closed down.

I presented at Oaktree Medical with a palpable mass in my neck. I explained to Dr. Aragon that I was unable to swallow at times and had difficulties breathing at night; specifically when I laid down and the mass was pressing on my trachea. Instead of ordering a STAT CT scan of my neck, I was given a two week dose of antibiotics and was instructed to follow up in two weeks. I sought out a second opinion in the Easley area and within the two weeks I had emergent surgery to remove the mass in my neck. Dr. Argon miss diagnosed a thyroid mass as a swollen lymph node and did not recognize the seriousness of the mass impeding my swallowing and breathing abilities.
