Dr. Norma Laurel Cooney, MD

Very cold and dismissive demeanor. She criticized me for not making "proper" eye contact and told me I wouldn't get far in life because of it. I was already feeling unwell, the last thing I needed was this patronizing and very inappropriate so-called advice. Furthermore, I was treated with suspicion and given a urine drug test--all negative, obviously, since I don't do drugs. I was also asked, "Do you even eat?", probably because I'm slim. I was asked whether I was sexually active, to which I responded that no, I was not. I was treated as though I were lying and told "Come on, tell the truth". Unbelievable. What was I in the hospital for, you might ask? Near syncope and heart palpitations. Absolutely unacceptable.

Horrible!! Lacks compassion.Not qualified to work in emergency department.flat out lied. very unattentive.

Absolutely disgraceful- one of the worst displays of medical incompetence I’ve heard in a long time. Some free advice:At no time should you dismiss a parent who is concerned for their child. At no time should you not understand the frustration of a parent that is looking at their pediatric child who has serious and verified symptoms. At no time is it acceptable to dismiss concerns and lie about symptoms. Absolutely never should you speak bad about a parent in front of their child. If you can’t follow these simple guidelines then you should just get out of the medical field completely. Bullying and belittling is never the answer and you should be ashamed of yourself. How is anyone supposed to have faith in your medical evaluation if you don’t communicate what is going on for hours, get an attitude and get caught lying?

Saw a friend of mine today at GGH-Diagnosed her with Broncitis and wouldn't give her an anti-biotic. Just said she'd be better in 3-4 MONTHS!!
