Dr. Joshua Douglas Czerwinski, DO

After being diagnosed with an extremely painful, life altering medical condition by the ER I made an appointment with him because he's my PCP. I gave him all the test results and image results taken at the hospital expecting treatment. I told him I was taking a total of 3,200mg of Ibuprofen and 8,000mg of Tylenol a day and was still in so much pain that I haven't slept more than 5hrs the past 3 days. He told me to continue with those dosages and put a steroid on top of it. In what world is that sound medical advice. Do not put yourself at risk by seeing him or his even worse mentor Dr. Wesley Hilbert. Those 2 are so bad that when I told the St. Vincent ER Dr. that they were my PCP they bluntly suggested I find a new Dr. even though they work for the same Hospital. There hasn't been a good Dr. at Elk Valley Medical Center since Dr. Gearhart left about 5 yrs ago but Hilbert makes it impossible to find a new PCP because he fills his patients records with blatant lies and notes about the… patient being argumentative or failing to follow his orders and a whole lot worse so when another office see's what he's written they choose to not accept you as a patient forcing you back into their grasps while filling their pockets.
