Dr. Thomas Cheriyakalathil Luiskutty, MD

My father was under the care of Dr. Luiskutty for three weeks. He died of pneumonia that was untreated, had a urinary tract infection that caused hallucinations that went Untreated by antibiotics but was treated with depression meds, a lot of them. Refused to return my calls or have my father transferred to a hospital until I said I was going to call the news. I never once spoke to him during my father’s care.

My father went to Franciscan Villa for skilled nursing. His discharge papers from Saint Francis were for 12mg of decadron. Dr Luiscutty, the doctor at the facility, prescribed, and my father took, 36 mg of decadron. THREE TIMES THE AMOUNT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE. During his week at skilled nursing, he experienced a rapid decline. No one could give us an explanation as to why. There are no notes from Luiscutty checking on my father as to why he was declining. He went from a 1 person assist to a 5 person assist in a matter of days. At the advice of the medical team, we took my dad home to hospice where we found out he had been over-medicated. Unfortunately, my father never bounced back and suffered a horrible death where he literally drowned on the increased fluid caused by the over dose of steroid. No one at this facility wants to take any responsibility.

Occasional billing problems and grumpy staff. He doesn't keep me waiting but he doesn't spend much time during the exam. He's not very hands on.
