Dr. Kiasha James, MD

I was taken to triage, and Dr. James asked me if I wanted psychiatric care at McLeod. I said yes. I was taken to a freezing room with no door, and they took my clothes and possessions, gave me scrubs, did not feed me, and gave me ice water. I was there for ten hours.I was condescended to by Dr. James when she came to see me (the nurse warned me that Dr. James wouldn't listen to me and she 'doesn't change her mind.) She asked me why I thought I didn't belong there. She asked me if I thought I was 'better than the other patients here.' I was then asked if I'd given a urine sample; without one, they couldn't proceed. This is HOURS after I'd been admitted, and I'd already used the bathroom. I've never been so humiliated in my life. So I'm finally given the ice water to make me urinate and they can perform tests that should have happened hours ago.

Horrible bedside manners. No concerns for patient health. Not sure why she chose to be a provider if she doesn’t care. She is clearly just in it for the money. Didn’t discuss diagnosis with me or treatment plan. Refused to get a supervisor or other provider when requested.

Dr. James is very rude and unprofessional. Upon attempting to be seen in the emergency room she became very short because she didnt like where and how i was describing the pain. She began to get loud when i told her that it was in my leg. She got louder and asked again to which i replied the entire right leg. This dr asked me well why are you in pain and i said to her i did not know hence me being here. Once again she asked why i was in pain cuss clearly i was not listening to her to which i replied ok lets try this again. This SO CALLED DOCTOR AND I USE THAT TERM VERY LOOSELY said i dont have to deal with this stormed out the room and slammed the door. 30 minutes later a nurse finally came back and i expressed that if i had to be seen by her i would want another doctor as she was unprofessional. the nurse who was very sweet and tried to comply. after examining me she tried to oblige with my request. ONCE AGAIN THIS SO CALLED DOCTOR COULD BE HEARD SCREAMING THE THE ER HE CANT ANSWER… SIMPLE QUESTIONS HE WILL BE SEEN BY ME IF HE DOESNT WANT TO BE SEEN BY ME LET HIM LEAVE GET OUT I DONT CARE. And this was said in front of my door. The conversation also got heated between her and nurse Alexis to the point that someone else got involved in and tried to get a charge nurse.They tried to get me to sign a form to say i was refusing service which i didnt do i just didnt want to be seen by her. I only wanted to seek medial attention something that this waste of a degree does not care about. Alexis and the nurse were great. They went from i can only be seen by her, to i have to check out to check back in to be seen by another doctor, only to get to the front counter again and when i told them i had to check back in they hadnt even checked me out to begin with and the front desk stated they dont know why they would tell me that i have to deal with the dr they give me and i couldnt be seen by anyone else. This woman should recieve a course on how to talk and treat people because she will come across one who will not tolerate her smart mouth. She most certainly be allowed to be in charge of anything the way she talked to the nurses were downright ugly and demaning. And i will continue to to tell everyone about my experience with this so called doctor.

Horrible attitude and very rude. I would NEVER recommend this "MD".
