Sheela Sheth, MD

I am raising serious concerns about patient safety, communication, and medical decision-making at Piedmont Newton Rheumatology. I received notice stating I was cleared to return to work and that all prior work excuses were “voided and rescinded,” despite an ongoing, documented autoimmune condition. This directive came from Dr. Sheth, who was not my treating physician, her response and actions, clearly ignored my medical concerns. Alarmingly, Dr. Maloney, who has documented my autoimmune disease in my medical records, agreed with Dr. Sheth to override the information in my records, contradicting my documented medical needs. This caused significant distress and placed my health and safety at risk. These actions raise serious legal and ethical concerns, including potential violations of ADA/disability protections, patient safety, medical negligence, and HIPAA/privacy laws. Patients deserve accurate, ethical, and coordinated care. If this facility continues to operate in this manner, it… should not be entrusted with patient care.
