Dr. Richard R Duncan III, MD

My physican refered me to Dr. Cole in this office because I had begun blacking out from period pain. When I called to get an appointment I was told I needed to wait three months to get in. After explaining the situation the scheduling lady said, "Yeah you need in sooner than that" and put me on hold to speak with Dr. Cole. However, Dr. Cole wasn't concerned that I was in that much pain and said that I would need to wait. After begging for anything sooner the nice lady got me in a week latter with MacLaurin. In my first appointment the her, she told me that I was showing signs of uterine cancer and had endometriosis. I needed another test done to confirm I had polyps/cancer she informed me. So I scheduled that and after being assured that there would only be mild cramping from this test there was excruciating pain. As soon as it was over (while I was still crying from pain) the doc informs me that I have polyps and that I need them removed, but that they are probably not yet cancerous because I'm 28 (This is the exact opposite from what she told me the last appointment). She tells me that the pain should go away soon and that her nurse will be in touch to schedule the hysteroscopy to remove and test the polyps.

The pain did not go way in fact it only increased. So sent Dr. MacLaurin a message asking if this was normal. Her office calls me and in forms me that I need to come in because this isn't normal. They schedule me with the nurse practitioner that is nice but clearly out of her depth. So she calls Dr. Bird, who comes in and after another pelvic exam says, "I don't know whats wrong but if it gets worse go to the ER"

Two nights later wound up going to the ER because of the pain. The ER said they didn't see anything obviously wrong but that they had cultures out. The doc at the ER was fully convinced something was wrong even if he couldn't find it that night and told me to follow up with my Obgyn So I called them as soon as they opened and they did not call me back. So I called them again at like 3 to be told that o yes the doc did want to see me but but that Dr. MacLaurin didn't have openings this week and that I would need to see Dr. Bird.

I've just returned from this appointment where Dr. Bird informed me that this excruciating pain was all in my head and or that I had "special" nerve fibers that were firing for no reason, either way I didn't need pain killers. When the friend I brought with me (because I can't drive in this much pain) said that they were way off base the doc gave her a look and said, "Well she can come back in two weeks and we'll talk then." Believe me I will not be going back to this practice ever again. I would not recommend anyone go there.
