Dr. Richard Brent Rody, MD

Sends my mother home from the ER two times! She is very sick and weak from bronchitis. Asked her twice when she was there if she needed to go to a nursing home! She’s weak from being sick! Gives her antibiotics and sends her home! She needs to be admitted where she can be treated and observed for a few days! She’s on her way back to the ER today after getting worse! Bedside manner is crude! Some people don’t need to be Dr.’s! Your supposed to help people! Nothing better happen to my mother because of your incompetence! My mother is very independent and she just needs medical attention! Not a nursing home! Not sent home with pills!

I needed to go to the ER in Morganton NC tonight where Dr Rody was the attending ER Dr ...He was so good to me..He listened, and gave kind and considerate answers. He addressed my needs and explained what was needed and why. If Dr. Rody had a practice close to me I would absolutely ask him to take me as a patient and be my Primary Care Dr....I left the ER feeling confident, calm and well cared for! Thank you Dr Rody, you are the best!!
