Dr. Raphael A Buckle, MD

The doctor took an hour to see my child at the Wellstar Cobb location. The remaining TWELVE + HOURS were spent deciding if he should transfer a child with clinical/lab confirmed dehydration who had not voided the entire time they were there. He said "normally we would send a child like this home". Mind you, they had to give my child an extra bolus (the 3rd bolus) on the way to the children's hospital due to EMS commented on how dry they were. Then when getting arriving to the hospital, the admitting doctor noted she had not received in dextrose in her fluids the whole time she was there. Then had the audacity to charge for level 5 care.

0 stars....Almost one year ago to this date, I almost lost my 4 year old daughter because of this doctor. We saw him in the er for low oxygen, he barely gave us the time of day and sent us home. A week later my daughter was life flighted to Scottish rite from the same ER after being forced to go back to stabilize her by the paramedics when she went lethargic. He was the same er doctor then too, I had a nurse come up to me to tell me there’s nothing else they can do, her body was working too hard, that I need to prepare myself for the worst while we’re waiting on the helicopter to arrive , Dr. Buckle had the NERVE to step me outside, a single mother, leaving my child alone.. to tell me I need to stop crying and toughen up. If it wasn’t for the the fact that I was in complete shock from them telling me that info, and the realization that my child was about to fly in a helicopter by herself at 3 in the morning I would have slapped him, honest to god. I will never step foot in paulding… er again. PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU FOR YOUR CHILDS SAFETY TAKE THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE

He is unlike any doctor I have been around in the past. He takes time to hear concerns and makes sure you have contact information after hours. He is ...
