Susan Pike, MD

Very knowledgeable nd professional

Dr. Pike is very profecional and very kind,

My experience with Dr. Susan Pike, which I found to be deeply unprofessional, distressing, and unacceptable. Prior to my scheduled surgery, I attended two pre-operative appointments and took time off work to prepare. I was not fully informed about the medications prescribed for the procedure. Based on my understanding and professional background as a nurse practitioner, I did not feel comfortable taking certain medications. On the day of surgery, after I had already been admitted, changed into a patient gown, placed on a stretcher, and had IV fluids initiated, Dr. Pike entered the room and abruptly informed me, “your surgery is canceled.” There was no appropriate discussion, explanation, or attempt at collaborative decision-making. She did not acknowledge my husband, who was present, and her tone felt dismissive and disrespectful. I was particularly concerned to later learn that she documented in my medical record that I am a “poorly controlled diabetic.” This is factually incorrect.… My most recent hemoglobin A1C was 5.8%, and my fasting glucose was 86 mg/dL—values that do not support such a diagnosis. This type of inaccurate documentation is not only misleading but potentially harmful to my future medical care. The overall interaction made me feel judged, disrespected, and bullied. Regardless of clinical decisions, patients deserve to be treated with dignity, clear communication, and professionalism. If there were concerns that would lead to cancellation, they should have been addressed well in advance—not at the final moment after full surgical preparation. This experience was emotionally distressing and a significant misuse of my time and trust.

Dr. Pike is a gifted, skilled and excellent surgeon. I am extremely grateful to her for her expertise and well thought out plan regarding my care. Dr. Pike is also very compassionate and treats her ancillary staff with respect, I admire that.
