List of Newton P. Muthunayagam's Reviews
Dr. Newton is friendly, professional and his staff are great.
I can not express my gratitude for Dr. Newton and nurse practitioner Alison Bruno enough!! I was basically bedridden in excruciating pain daily before these two came into my life. Dr. Newton has given me options and a treatment plan to help with my chronic pancreatitis. It’s is very evident that he is in the medical field for the right reasons by his compassion and attentive nature, on top of how knowledgeable he clearly he is when he speaks. I am forever grateful. - Kristen Carrier
Husband was having esophogial endoscopy. I kept watching the patient information board to see everyone but my husband in surgery. A while later a Starbucks delivery guy came in with a bag of food & the delivery was for Dr. Muthunayagam!!!!! After a few hours a nurse came out & said I could come and see my husband. Thinking something had gone wrong since almost all the people with me in the waiting room were gone & a whole new group were there. Husband said he was put under then they woke him up & now were sedating him again for procedure. When the procedure was over Dr. quickly explained it is cancer & was malignant.
Dr. Newton is friendly, professional and his staff is great.
Dr. Newton diagnosed my dad with an bleeding ulcer which caused an infection. When going into his scope my dad asked Dr. Newton, do I have cancer? Dr. Newton said "no sir you have a terrible infection, if it was a tumor your numbers would grow slowly and your numbers tripled in 72 hours, all your bloodwork points to an infection." The day after his scope Dr. Newton came in my dads room and said "good news your numbers are all improving which means your infection is clearing up." After 8 days of us believing it was an infection they were going to rescope my dad to put a drainage stent in his liver. Doctor Newton came out and said "we attempted to put a stent into the liver but we couldn't get past the tumor in his stomach." We asked what tumor and he said "I'm sorry but he has stage 4 stomach cancer which has spread to his liver." We said I thought you said it was an infection, you were so sure it was." His response was "I was hopeful"
The Doctor is wonderful! His assistant Jennifer was not very nice at all. My mom is 79 years old and does not move very fast and this gal was trying to rush her and just generally not very nice.
Dr. Newton was extremely professional. His staff and the staff at Southwest Hospital were excellent as well. They all made what I expected to be an awkward and uncomfortable experience, easy. I have recommended him to my husband and several friends. We all need to have a colonoscopy, but with Dr. Newton, we don't have to worry about a thing. Thank you!
Solved my problems!
He performed an ERCP on my mother and perforated her esophagus after admitting he met with resistance, but kept on pushing. She was in an induced coma for a week. He showed little or no concern saying that all cuts heal. She never completely recovered because at age 87, she was forced to lie in bed for two months on a feeding tube and her muscles atrophied. He robbed her of her life and me of my mother.
Dr. Newton completely misdiagnosed my intestinal cancer due to his inability to listen to the patient. He kept insisting that I had acid reflux even after losing almost 20 pounds in a month. His arrogance is a danger to patients.
