1 /5 Kathryn W: My dad has been seeing Dr. Salley as his primary care doctor for a while. My dad is in his 70s and gets blood work done regularly. For the past year, my dad had been telling Salley that he had been having dizzy spells and Salley never ever looked into it. Last week, my dad got severely sick and had also fallen at home. I took him to see Salley and he completely disregarded what my dad was telling him. My dad was clearly not himself and very disoriented. Which Salley should have recognized considering my dad not only sees him on a regular basis, but had just done a check up on my dad the week before. Didn’t test him for anything, didn’t talk about his fall, and sent him on his way with antibiotics. 2 days later, my dad falls at home again and we rushed him to urgent care in San Antonio. My dad tested positive for type A flu and not only that, my dad had sodium levels so low, that he had to be put in the ICU. His blood pressure medication that he had been on is known to cause low sodium levels (that Salley should have known and been monitoring ) and that mixed with my dad having the flu put him days away from dying if we hadn’t taken him to urgent care. Salley failed my dad so miserably. My dad had been telling him for a YEAR about his dizziness which we now know was caused by his blood pressure medication causing him to have low sodium. Salley also didn’t test my dad for the flu which someone in their 70s with other health conditions, needs to know. My dad had OBVIOUS flu symptoms and Salley gave him ANTIBIOTICS because he just assumed without testing. My dad is still in the hospital recovering and will have to spend time in a rehabilitation center before he can return home. My dad will never ever go see Salley again!! My dad would not have been in the condition he was and is currently in if it weren’t for Salleys negligence. STAY AWAY!
