Widman, Lawrence E

Widman has impresssive credentials, but don't be fooled. He was my son's cardiologist for 15 years. When my son became ill, Widman REFUSED to order a blood draw, even though his own medical records indicated blood draws were a necessity; he refused to see my son, stating that he had seen him 8 months ago and did not need to see him again. He failed to diagnose right-sided heart failure, attributing abdominal pain to GI problems. He authorized an unnecessary endoscopy which sent my son into cardiopulmonary arrest and his eventual death.

My son would be alive today if not for this "doctor's" incompetence and gross negligence. I won't even give this @^$%#* ONE star, so disregard the one star rating. THis site requires a star rating.
