I can no longer recommend this doctor and here is why. When you go to a Pain Management doctor or any doctor for that matter with pain and discomfort, you expert that person to use his expertise to recommend solutions, right? Well he recommended physical therapy which I did religiously. But sometimes I would have breakthrough pain episodes where the pain was bad. When I explained this to him he said to take Tylenol. When I said that didn't help he said, "Well I don't know what to tell you." I started to cry out of sheer frustration. He said, "I know you said muscle relaxers don't work for you." I said, "That is incorrect. In fact the last time I saw you I asked you to refill my Robaxin and you said no and told me to go back to the original physician who wrote it for me." Then he had the balls to say to me, "Well that is what I wrote in my notes and I don't tend to make things up." He even asked me, "Well what do you want me to give you?" I said, "I don't know medicine. You are the doctor. I just find it hard to believe there is NOTHING you can write for me that would help me." Like, hey jerk, humor me and write me a script for a topical compound or something along those lines! He even went so far to check my
Medical history and say, "You have only been dealing with this for 6 months." Are you kidding me? Right then and there I decided I would NEVER go back to him and that I would find another doctor... you know, one who is compassionate and who gives patients OPTIONS and SOLUTIONS to HELP a patient in pain. Begrudgingly he wrote me a measly 10 Robaxin and told me to use them sparingly. This guy is a complete jerk and he is not a caring doctor. read more
