Lightfoot John MD

I am a Nurse Practitioner. After my Father had a heart attack in January, I needed to find him a Primary Care Doctor. When I took my Dad to the office my Dad asked me if I would come into the room with him to help him explain everything that had happened (given that I am a NP, but also because he was unconscious for 2 days and didn’t remember a significant amount of what happened during his hospitalization). The medical assistant told me I was not allowed to stay in the exam room with my Dad, I asked if I could explain the situation to Dr. Lightfoot. When Dr. Lightfoot entered the room he did not introduce himself to me and told me I’d need to wait in the waiting room. I tried to explain the situation but he didn’t listen. He said «this is the way I do things and if you aren’t happy feel free to find another doctor». This was the first and last time we met Dr. Lightfoot. As a provider myself I can not ever imagine treating a patient or their family member with such disrespect. I rarely feel the need to share negative experiences, but this one seemed worth sharing to spare any others considering visiting this doctor.
