I've been using opioids to control chronic pain for over 25 years. I went to the clinic in Beaver…read moreDam for the first 5 years of moving here and had a great experience from the caring people there. When there was a doctor change about 6 months ago she basically forced me to go to a pain management clinic that uses the building once a month. Todd Stirling promptly reduced my dosage by 12 pills a month because the PA's at Canyonlands were giving me a 30 day supply and allowing me to refill every 28 days. Even though there was a direct correlation to the amount of pain I was feeling and my blood pressure, It seemed to me that Todd Stirling was going to prescribe practically anything other than increasing the opioid dose. I was struggling with nerve pain when I was referred to him, and my life has been much worse since. I like the guy well enough, but it seems he's not willing to put himself in my shoes. I hope what he does works better for you, because he's the only game in Beaver Dam.

I saw Kawika Tupuola and I can't say how deeply disappointed I was with him. I found him to be…read morearrogant and more into himself than his patient. I heard more about his family business and how he loves to golf then about taking care of his patient. First off, I went into establish care. Not once did he refer me to a cardiologist, pulmonologist, or Dermatologist. I have had heart and lung surgery, so it is important that I have these physicians. I had to call back to get a name of a Dermatologist due to some spots on my legs. He said he could burn them off. He didn't burn them off before I left. A good friend of mine in the medical field said they should always be biopsied to make sure it isn't cancer. Guess what it was cancer. He should never have said he could/ would burn them off; he should have refer me to the Dermatology office. I felt like he thought he knew more and was not willing to listen to my needs. I had originally asked to be referred to a dermatologist, and he said he could handle it. Big mistake on his part. The staff at the office was wonderful. My only complaint was about the Kawika Tupuola. He needs to learn to listen to his patients and work with them not against them. Never again would I see him or recommend him.

12/16/19 I had a consultation Peterson for a breast explant. He placed the implants very high under…read moremy muscle at the time of a breast lift and reduction 4 years prior. He shared his confidence that I did not need an encapsulation removal at the time the implants were removed because my scar tissue was very thin. Claimed it was a 1 hour, in office procedure, done with a local anesthetic, with little to no down time. I paid and scheduled. 2/13/20 Was my breast explant with Peterson and assistant Amberly. Under local anesthetic, began the explant while I was awake with no offered sedative. Draining each saline implant before the incision was placed under each breast. While struggling to grab the drained saline bag-mentioned there was scar tissue causing the struggle. I had a shooting nerve type pain that put my body into shock. Emotional fear and shock from the pain, left me sobbing and shaking while he continued his attempts inside my right breast. Peterson nor his assistant asked if I needed anything during the complications or if asked I was in pain, if they needed to stop or offered what my options were at this point. He continued to dig into my open left breast while I sobbed and he finally got the left implant bag removed through the incision after over 45 minutes of attempts on the left breast.He proceeded to the right side. My upper ribs and skin felt as if they were tearing and on fire once he got into the breast. My numbness had wore off. He said he would re-numb a second time and be back. I needed to use the restroom so a towel under my breasts that were open, covered me up with a gown and assisted me to the restroom. Peterson came back in, re-prepped me and began the attempt to remove the implant bag, again on the right breast. He proceeded to dig, press, and pull trying to get into the breast pocket and reach the implant with success, for 30 min. He claimed he didn't have long enough tools in the office to get the empty implant bag out of my breast and would come back to it in a few weeks. He stitched me up, and left the room with out after care instruction, except to come back in a few weeks. I was given no at home care instructions or offered any Tylenol, Ibuprofen for pain. 2/13 I called Pedersen's office with concerns of excruciating pain, extreme swelling and pressure in my right breast, and rib pain. I expressed my concerns to him and he let me know I could take Tylenol for the pain and that he would touch base with me after the weekend. He said we would most likely need to drain it the following week. 2/17 assistant Amberly communicated via text so she could send updates to Peterson, to his LV office they asked me to come on 2/18 to have it drained. He had his office billing manager assisting him. During the draining procedure, neither his office billing manager or Peterson were wearing gloves. There was a blood clot on the tip of the needle preventing it to drain into the dish as they removed it. He used his bare fingers to try and maneuver it off of the syringe so it would release the fluids. He then, re-insert the needle to suck more fluid from the breast. I expressed my concerns and that I would not be awake for the next procedure. I agreed on IV sedation to irrigate the pocket and remove the silicon bag on the right breast at the surgical center. additional cost break down for the procedure was given to me for the surgical center. 2/21appointment at the Saint George surgical Center.The implant was removed while I was under IV sedation. My discharge instructions were given to me from the surgical center with no pain medications. 2/22 fever of 104 and was achy, having a hard time breathing, coughing and experiencing extreme rib pain. He responded that it sounded like the flu and asked about the breast. The site began draining a lot of blood and fluid from the incision site. He told me to place pads to absorb draining, switch with ibuprofen and Tylenol and to keep him posted. 2/23 more drainage from the incision, unmanageable pain, shortness of breath and a fever. Peterson called me in an antibiotic. I began taking it and he told me to follow up on 2/27. My incision on the right breast had completely opened, leading me to wound care. I had a large hard mass under my skin that seemed to be getting larger, on the high part of my right breast/chest. I expressed my concern for mass and open wound. He was unsure of what it was and to come back in 2 weeks to have him look at it. Never agreed it was infected, regardless of open wound and fowl yellow discharge. I didn't go back. He was rushed, unprepared with surgical tools, inexperienced, lack of interest as a patient. I received second opinions about my nerve pain, physical therapy, massages, as well as holistic healing to move forward in my healing and recovery. Once my treatment was completed elsewhere, my legal representation notified Peterson of his negligence,requesting refund on all amounts paid to him and my aftercare. He ignored.
