VJ Pampana should be fired…read more I was warned by several people in the medical field not to see Pampana because they've had so many patients who have have bad experiences with him. I didn't take their advice because he's the only local neurologist. I took two children to him for neurological issues and he sent them both to rheumatology. When they were cleared by rheumatology and their symptoms worsened I took them back to him and he diagnosed them with non-epileptic seizures. He gave me no action to take and no advice on where to research this condition. When I asked what I'm going to do because I can't keep carrying my son everywhere he said "lots of people live with seizures." He did not offer a wheelchair. At a later appointment I told Pampana I've been doing research and realized that he only diagnosed one of my children's symptoms, but that functional neurological disorder seems to explain all of the other symptoms, and I asked him what he thought about that. He stared at me in silence until I changed the subject. I assume is because he doesn't know anything about functional neurological disorder and didn't want to tell me that. When my youngest son began to have the same symptoms I took him to Pampana and he dismissed us saying "if he were really in pain it wouldn't come and go, it would continually get worse so this is not a real physical problem." (not how this disorder works, just like that's not how headaches work. headaches come and go, but they are real.) I told him this since is having the same symptoms as my other children who he diagnosed. He said "The disored your other children have is very rare (which is false) and it doesn't run in families (also false) so it's unlikely that you would have another child with the same condition." When I called to tell him, my son has begun to have daily seizures. I was told it's just stress. I asked if he could walk me through that thought process because my son's psychiatrist says he isn't showing any signs of stress and his symptoms don't seem to match that diagnosis. The doctor responded only with "you can take him to rheumatology." When I made the appointment for the EEG two staff members shamed me for taking "so lone" to make the appointmen despite knowing that I have a high deductible and have to pay for tests out of pocket and their office doesn't offer a payment plan. I was asked why I'm not doing the other tests the doctor recommended And I explained that I can't pay for all of them so I chose the one that I felt was the most important. I also mentioned we're looking for a second opinion from a different neurologist before I spend hundreds of dollars on a test that doesn't make sense to me. Later I got a call saying the EEG is being canceled and we are being dismissed as patients Because the doctor was offended that I told his staff that we're looking for a second opinion which implies that he's a bad doctor. This man knows my son is having multiple seizures every day and is being hurt by them. He knows he can't go to school because of them and he knows it will take us three months to see a new neurologist, yet he canceled the EEG days before the appointment because he was offended. If he doesn't care about the safety and well-being of his patients then why is he a doctor? It gives the impression that he's only doing this for the money. I also think it's suspicious that he would dismiss us as we're getting a second opinion, which makes me think he knows the tests he ordered are unnecessary. I later received a letter in the mail saying that we're being dismissed as patients but for the next 30 days he will honor our upcoming appointments and in order to give us time to find a new doctor. This is after he canceled all of our upcoming appointments, including the EEG. The paperwork also states that they will release our medical records if I come in and fill out a release form. I don't know why I have to fill out a SECOND release form after dropping the others off in the office. Please don't waste your energy on this man who seems to not know what he's talking about in his own field and not care about his patients. Anyone who cancels an appointment that can help a suffering child because his ego was bruised does not deserve to be a doctor.
