I had the worst experience today with ABBEY BUNNELL - Nurse Practitioner. She was so rude,…read moredisrespectful, and demonically scripted. When she read on her computer notes that I was filing for disability, she IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO TREAT ME LIKE GARBAGE, VERY HOSTILE, yelling, and raising her voice at me. She treated me like I'm a fake, a fraud, a con-man just trying to deceive FWO to write a letter to get sympathy for disability/SSI. She said my pain management doctor (Ken Austin MD) lied and overexaggerated my test results, and painful back symptoms, when the MRI & X-Rays proves Ken Austin was RIGHT, and ABBEY BUNNELL to be a LIAR & DEAD WRONG!!! She knows with my BULGING DISC, if I continue to be active, work, lift, and stress out my back I will keep on herniating it and it will soon rupture, THEN I'LL BE IN A WHEELCHAIR. HOW CAN ANY SANE DOCTOR FORCE SOMEONE SUFFERING IN PAIN TO GO BACK TO WORK WHEN THEY ARE IN SERIOUS DANGER OF A RUPTURE. This woman is crazy!!! When I throw my back out, I'm crawling on the floor, urinating in cups, whishing I was dead, THE PAIN IS EXCRUCIATING. For 16 years, I have always been in severe pain because of my back. I have a very painful bulging disc that could dangerously herniate and rupture with the slightest of work or stress. I have arthritis, moderate degenerative disc disease, and painful bone spurs in my back that contribute to my pain. I constantly throw my back out by bending, sneezing, stress, work, anything active, and when it's thrown out, I can barely walk, sleep, or stand for up to 3 months. Abbey Bunnell deliberately downplayed my MRI report to nothing serious so I wouldn't have a credible case for filing for SSI/disability. I currently take 13 different medications for my back, anxiety, depression, cognitive disorder, carpal tunnel, etc. Abbey said by my MRI it's ok for me to work and lift 50 to100+ pounds with no fear of a disc herniation or ruptured, WHEN THE MRI SHOWS MY SPINE IS BULGING IN THE L3/L4 region, plus I have a huge lipoma pushing against my spine above the L3 L4 region that she failed to diagnose, AND DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT AS I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HER. This woman has personal hatred towards me. She kept cutting me off during our conversation. She kept saying she knows many people who had surgery who went back to work, THAT IS A PERSONAL INSULTING CHEAP SHOT. I'm sorry Abbey, I don't want to be hooked to narcotics for the rest of my life, and have metal plates, cages, and screws in my back THAT WILL CAUSE ME MORE PAIN, it's ridiculous! Abbey Bunnell has revealed an even darker side of FWO that no patient should ever see due to her Incompetence. 10 minutes of arguing with this ignorant, hateful woman, and not once did she ever tell me why my back is always in pain, and why I keep throwing my back out so easily, abnormally. She had 2 of my MRIs, 5 X-rays, test results, footnotes, diagnosis, and tons of references, BUT SHE STILL FAILED TO TELL ME ANYTHING face to face about my back pain and problems!!! I thought she was a professional, she is a liar, she hated me from day one, she has a very smart, rude, belittling mouth, she knows what hurts. She was deliberately withholding this critical medical information from me about my back so I wouldn't have a credible case for getting SSI/Disability. THAT IS CRIMINAL ON HER PART. I can't stand people like that, I HOPE THEY FIRE HER, she is fake!!! She was plotting against me. MATTER OF FACT: She said: My back was perfectly fine, she's seen worse backs on a 46-year-old, I don't need disability, I need to get a job. I said: what about the arthritis in my back, she said everybody has arthritis in their back, I SAID: what about the bone spurs, the bulging disc, the painful lipoma by my spine, the foraminal protrusion and facet degeneration, the frequent throwing my back out, and the aggravating pain I'm always in etc? Abbey said: EVERYBODY HAS THAT PROBLEM TOO. WHAT A LIAR, this woman is hating on me, she hates my guts, she's trying to ruin me. I have a (NO EXP) handicap placard, prescribed medications for all my conditions, a walker, quad-cane, etc, all prescribed by my doctors. I WILL NEVER LET THIS EVIL WOMAN ABBEY BUNNELL TELL ME WHAT I AM NOT!!! Please, investigate her crimes and fire her. I'm one more nightmare away from filing a lawsuit for MY pain and suffering, her lies and malpractice, and FWO causing me emotional distress. Asmar Woods

I would not recommend this practice to any friends or family…read more I went to Mallers and Swoverland for pain and discomfort stemming from the right front shoulder. My male therapist cranked on my neck, causing a sprain and two bulging discs in my neck. For the past two months, I've had extreme and constant headaches and neck pain. I've missed work and I spent thousands on follow-up doctor visits and imaging. Before my encounters with Mallers and Swoverland, I had never had any problems with my cervical spine or headaches. In addition to the injuries sustained, the therapist made several inappropriate comments and performed "tests" that were inappropriate. The therapist's commented that my headaches and neck pain were due to my period cycle. He stated that my cycle was causing the pain and it wasn't my fault, part of being a woman. I didn't care for the therapist's repeated scoliosis "tests", where I would bend over for a very long time, long enough that I ended up standing up on my own, without any directions from the male therapist to do so. He also had me open my mouth as wide as possible, and would then make statements that I couldn't open my mouth very wide. He would then ask if anyone ever told me that. He stuck his ungloved knuckles in my mouth to prove that I couldn't open very wide. Remember, I went to PT for pain in the front, right shoulder. No complaints related to my mouth, facial muscles, or spine were ever expressed. Wish I could give them negative or zero stars.
