Had a consult with Dr. Newlin for gallbladder surgery. He only looked at my tests and not my symptoms. He refused to take my gallbladder out and attributed my symptoms to stress. I had another doctor at Conemaugh who immediately knew my gallbladder had to come out. My symptoms were because my gallbladder was badly scarred. It was not stress and Dr. Newlin didn’t care to hear any of my actual symptoms. My tests were “normal” but my gallbladder was not. So frustrating that he wouldn’t take me seriously.

Had Gallbladder removal. Everything went as expected.
Dr Newlin had me get a pet scan, he informed me that it showed NO CANCER. When I went to the Oncology I was told that the pet scan did show the cancer. Dr Newlin did schedule me for another procedure that he said showed I had stage four cancer. Did he not know How to read the pet scan or did he want to make more money before sending me to the Oncology. Shame on you Matthew, I will not address you as doctor.
