I had the best experience with Dr. Hemphill. He's thorough and I always felt like I was in great hands.

Poor to Fair does not begin to describe how awful this doctor is- malpractice is surely in his future. In fact I could probably sue for malpractice but just don't think it is worth the long and nasty process our legal system considers justice since fortunately it was not a life threatening lack of care, effort, competence, and attention to detail in my situation.
I suggest you don't see him or anyone else at this practice and if you do or have already done so get your medical records and check them for accuracy. My file was abhorrent. I could not believe the inaccurate and incorrect information he had recorded- although recalling my 2 visits I never did see him taking any notes, so it seems he just makes it up later from the best of his memory. In addition it is nearly impossible to leave a message or speak to anyone at this office and all of the staff is rude and inconsiderate and always running about an hour late.
Some specifics to clarify the gross medical incompetence I experienced at this practice: I was going in for a colposcopy with biopsies and was told I could take ibuprofen in advance. I elected not to take any ibuprofen since I find it never helps me much- in my file it was recorded that I had taken ibuprofen prior to my colposcopy- NOT TRUE- I was not even asked about this during the procedure. 1 of the 3 exterior cervical biopsies (not the ecc) he took was lost- not sent to the lab, and not even recorded in my file. I saw another doctor promptly after seeing this information/lack of information in my file. The other doctor confirmed that the one clear biopsy site was at the 1:00 position of my cervix and that he could not say definitively about the other one or two locations- however in my file from Mr. Hemphill (since he does not deserve the title doctor) the only 2 locations recorded were at the 7:00 and 4:00 positions of my cervix. In addition, he made no notes about quarterizing the biopsy sites or the topical numbing medication applied to my cervix during the procedure. When I spoke to the doctor about my missing biopsy he admitted errors happen but would not say that he had definitively taken 3 exterior samples and the ecc- which I remembered quite clearly since I asked to look at each one and it was quite unpleasant when each sample was taken. To confirm that I could still see, feel, and count to 4 (unlike Mr. Hemphill) I had another doctor take a look and tell me if and where there was still any evidence of a biopsy. As I said above, the only very clear location was the 1:00 position- also the only position NOT recorded in my file by this disgrace of a doctor. This certainly supports my strong recollection of the torture he put my cervix through for those biopsies, which were not properly detailed in my record or handled with care.
Don't put your health in the hands of this poor quality doctor since next time his carelessness might actually hurt someone having a more serious procedure.
