Dr. Michael Gerard Wade

This doctor insisted that sudden onset wrist pain while in hospital with many issues attendant to Crohn's disease was arthritis associated with the Crohn's, despite no history of arthritis in 15 years, Crohn's related or otherwise, and was angered by patient and family politely questioning the diagnosis based on incongruence with patient history and speed of onset of symptoms as well as coincidence with other hospital related infection and very recent administration of immunospresent drug. Dr Wade become agitated when questioned and left the room visibly angry without providing solutions and discharged the patient. Wrist subsequently discovered to contain a staph infection that had begun to abscess requiring multiple surgeries due to delay in treatment as well as a need for extended administration of IV antibiotics that otherwise could have been avoided and an additional hospital stay.

Dr. Wade was able to get a disorganized hospital team organized. Highly recommend!

Dr. Wade saw me in follow-up from tests run on me for acute chest pain at Sky Ridge Hospital. He was a very compassionate, reassuring physician who explained in detail my medical condition. I really appreciated his wonderful "bedside" manner.
