Dr. Jack Brantley Rentz, MD

About 3 and half years ago my life changed forever. After a Lysis of Adhesions procedure which is supposed to remove scar tissue with chemical and a high pressure spray I woke up paralyzed sitting up in a wheel chair. I said I'm paralyzed I can't feel my legs. It was silent. Nobody spoke a word. Not even Rentz. They took me to the recovery area where Rentz checked on me an unheard of 3 times that day and I spent an unheard,of 4 hours and 20 minutes,there. Only one,nurse would speak to me and she kept tell ing me is was,just the anasteshia and would wear off. Well Rentz sent me home paralyzed and incontinate. When we got me home I could not walk so my boyfriend carried me inside where I peed all over the place and,continued doing that throughout the,evening.I could stand layer that eveni g but not not very good and,not hardly walk either. The next morni g i called Rents to let him know I'm missing myself and,barely able to stand and,ofcourse he would,not speak to me. So talked to his… assistant who told me to go to the E.R. where some tests were done and I was admitted in Neuro-Trauma Unit for 8 days. I had several M.R.I.'s and was diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome with clumping of nerve roots and Adhesive Arachnoiditis and given I.V. steroids to take down inflammation.Surgery was too risky. I read alot about my injuries while in the Hospital. I also had a catheder. I can't. I found,out that with this,injury if the pressure is,not taken off the nerves within 24-48 hours,the nerve,damage will be significantly worse. Rentz saw,the chemicals go into the wrong place at the time of the procedure because he uses a floroscope that shows him where to guide his needles and instruments. So even though he watched the,medicine go into the wrong place and watched the whole thing happen he knew why I woke up paralyzed and incontinate yet he,sent me home anyways to avoid an I suramce,claim. So he put my life in major jeopardy to save himself. When he should have said I saw,on the,floroscope exactly what happened and you need to be admitted right away instead of sending me home then when I'm afmurted mire delsys,in my treatment untill all tests were performed on me when he could have just admitted what happened at the beginning.Then by the time they start treating me my nerves were completely clumped together like super glued together and caused me massive,pain and alot of physical problems. After 4 days,in the,Hospital Rentz finally came to see me and he,cried and when I asked why are you crying he,said cuz,I did this to you. He admitted it buy on the report it says,everythi g went great yo cover up what actually happened. He completely lied about what happened that day. Just the opposite happened. One of the worst spine injuries one can get happened and he swept it under the rug. When he came to visit me 4 days,later in the Hospital he said specifically told me he's sorry it took so long for him to come to see me he had been on vacation. I don't believe that. I mean who goes,on faction after paralyzing one of your patients and causing a major spine cord injury? Who does that. I think he said that cuz,he wanted me to believe he had no idea how bad it really was. When the truth is that he did not want to face me after what he had done to me. I mean I was pooping the bed and everything in the hospital. It was,really had and he never said this is what's happened to you this is what you can exoect. This,is why your can't feel your bladder. This is why is hard for you to take a step ect...ect..ect. Instead he lied about the whole thing. Never said I'm sorry. Never admitted in the report what really happened. Never told the truth about it. What's crazy is,he,lied to save himself. Destroyed my life for the past 3 and half years and cost tax payers near a half a,million dollars in Medical care and counting. Because he didn't want to take responsibility for what hspoen3d that dsy. I understand that accident a happened and I did agree to the procedure after I cri3d and told him I did not feel good about it I allowed him to talk me into it. When God was trying to warn me against it. So I take responsibility for it happening but he needs to take responsibility for sending me home 4 hours and 20 minutes after it happened when he knew he should have admitted me to get the pressure off of the nerve endings. So sad that money Is so important to people. More important that someone's life. A DOCTOR especially has a responsibility care for people. Also be aware that my type,of injury is,on the rise because Doctors are doing more and more injections and the steroids were never meant to be,injected into the spine. The inj3ctions were meant to done on joints and knees. Not in your spine. The Doctors so what's called off market use of these medications and infect have warnings on the bottles saying not to inject into the spine. Its,not F.D.A. approved. For some injuries injections,might be ok but this was,my 10th invasive procedure from Rentz and my body just couldn't take anymore.I admit my Neglagance in not listening to God telling me not to do it. Why can't he admit the truth. And how is doing something so dangerous taken so lightly. I did it because I trusted,him and,I paid a high price. He destroyed the trust I had for him. I just know for the past 3 and,half years he's been living high on hog while I've been fighting for my life. Hes,been going on extravagant vacations and being praised for his work while I could hardly walk to the store or go to family get togethers. Truth is he destroyed my life in a,moment and didn't try to help me right after. It hurts,me when I think about it. Goes to show you that can't believe everything about all these Doctors that's written in their websites. You truly really never know who someone until the chips are down. He could have done the right thing and he never ever did for me.He

He goes out of town day before your appt for a week they won't see you again because you went to another dr to protect your health while he is gone. It's a one sided agreements you sign so take note . If you have other options I suggest you take them .

We went to see Dr Rentz for medication management since he advertises he treats for this. This man came into the exam room never introduced himself and NEVER asked why we were there. They never asked for my medical records when I made the appointment. WE started explaining why we were there. Not once did he make eye contact with us. My husband and I just kept looking at one another wondering what was wrong. He did not offer a treatment plan did not say even if it was fake "sorry about your accident." This man has the biggest ego I have ever seen. He told us his passion was doing spinal injections. Of course it is he can charge the insurance 5 times more than a medication visit. So then he should not advertise that he treat for medication management patients. And believe it or not he even called me a name. Which is not appropriate for this forum. But I am going to submit a complaint about him through DORA. Please be careful with this doctor. He is mean spirited and does not deserve the… title of a doctor. He treated us, especially me like I was scum of the earth. Shame on you Jack Rentz. Remember that you took an oath of Due No Harm. And people are getting tired of doctors like you who know nothing about a field that you advertise. You said this yourself when we saw you but you did not have to treat me I such an I humane way nor have called me the derogatory name you called me.

Professional but with a sense of humor!

Dr. Renz is very knowledegable and respected and as a result, seems to have become too busy. I had a series of nerve block injections. The second one caused my entire head to be numb and that is quite scary. I couldn't reach anyone at the office and was afraid I was in danger of having a stroke. No one explained this phenomenon to me. The third and last injection was extremely uncomfortable and ended up not helping me one bit. Still getting excrutiating headaches and now I have a sore neck to go with it.
