Dr. Alan Avondet, MD

My mom saw Avondet for almost 30 years. She had a stroke and we discovered she had congestive heart failure, not from him, but from a visiting nurse. The nurse in his office was a terrible challenge as all communication had to go through her. At one point, we were trying to restart hypothyroid medication and neither Avondet nor his nurse had reviewed my mom's chart for her last dosage and called in a dose based on their mistaken belief that she had never been treated for hypothyroidism before. While under Avondet's care, Mom had thyroid cancer and had her thyroid removed, hence the need for thyroid medicine. This was all in her chart, but neither one reviewed it. Avondet was also unresponsive about one of mom's chief symptoms -- a cough that was strong enough that she was turning blue in the face. He said she would eventually pass out and start breathing again. Her cough was a combination of aspiration and CHF. Really bad care. I would discourage anyone from seeing this docto

He comes into the hospital room unprepared, not taking into consideration the whole situation a patient is experiencing.
