Google Review response to Office of Pinehurst Medical Clinic Gastroenterology & Endoscopy - Sanford N.C.
Article Entry Date: August 25,2026
I wrote a review on Google Reviews about my experience with Dr. Pate from "Pinehurst Medical Clinic Gastroenterology & Endoscopy - Sanford, N.C."
The review can be found here. Dr. Pate Review«
The Pinehurst Medical Center has asked me to send them an email, and this Blog post will include the email I am sending.
The reason I am posting it here is:
Even though the email is part of the paper trail, posting it on my blog is also a way to show that I am corresponding with Pinehurst Medical Center and working with them to resolve this nearly two-decade-long issue.
(This is going to be word-for-word, nothing extra added, to keep things concise.)

Hello.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/c5AuvhP99c2dLB2p6
I was referred to Dr. Pate by Dr. Tozzy for Acid Reflux.
Dr. Pate would not stop asking me why I did not want to continue taking the medication I was on. After constantly telling him that I did not want to take it anymore, I finally snapped and told him, "Listen, I know you doctors get paid for writing prescriptions." And before I could complete the statement, he got loud and mad.

I went there to have something done, and he purposely sabotaged my test results by telling me that I did not have to stop taking my meds leading up to the test.
It was only after the test was complete, while talking with the physician who performed the test on me, that I remembered him telling me that I needed to stop taking the meds three days before the test.
Dr. Pate had rattled me up so bad with his bombarding questions on why I did not want to take the meds that I had forgotten about that 3-day statement he had made.

And thanks to him, I lost a good-paying job, along with other issues, due to extreme acid reflux, because this doctor would not stop badgering me about why I did not want to stop being on a drug I had been taking for 18 years at that point. 33 years today. (I take OTC meds now for this issue.)

Do you know what it is like to bend over and pick up your 6-month-old granddaughter only to be hit with severe acid reflux and nearly throw up on her? Well, that happened in 2018, and I just sat there and cried before I missed her face by inches.
What Dr. Pate did to me was evil and vile,

What else do you want to know?

The original review I did over 7 years ago can be viewed here.

Still proofreading and editing.

 Second Novel

by Wayne Barron

I am working on the new book, but I still haven't come up with a title for it yet.
I was hoping for 100,000 words, but I'm not sure if I'll make that goal or not. Then again, I still have seven or more chapters to go. Then I will begin the actual editing, which will be a very time-consuming process.
Wish me luck.
It is getting there, just very time-consuming, as this is the process of editing a book, but I love it....Continue reading...

A little word for those that want to become an author

 Writing

by Wayne Barron

This is just my experience; others have their ways of doing things, so this is mine.
#1: Pull from what you know.
Life has a way of providing us with all the information we need to develop various ways to express ourselves in story form.
From our first love, the first kiss, that particular moment we first saw the one we wanted to spend our lives with, to the birth of our child, or our first granddaughter, to getting married....Continue reading...

Gwother's farm yard friends - Poor little chicken (Story #1)

 Short Funny Stories

by Wayne Barron

Back many years ago, before I was even thought of, there was a young girl who loved going out playing with her pigs, chickens, and cows, and one day, while out playing, one of the cows came up to her about a chicken who had broken its foot. She rushed over to the chicken and noticed the poor little creature was surrounded by all the pigs, cows, and, of course, its chicken family....Continue reading...
