I'm very happy with Dr. Kuang. Professional and gets to the issue of your pain. I'm grateful.read more

The fact that it is a pain management office so no one would take anyone seriously is what keeps me…read moreand I'm sure everyone else from filing a medical malpractice claim. Dr. Kuang is a meek sad little manchild that hides behind his staff that do the dirty work and clean up his messes. I was a patient for 4 years and never had consistent care because they cycled me through a different NP every couple of months. And every new NP had a different plan for me. I was finally pressured into injections and reluctantly agreed because if I didn't, they would no longer give me my medication. Which honestly , was the one thing that worked for me as long as I didn't take it daily. They changed my medication and then drug tested me and saw my old medication on my drug test so they marked me as abusing my meds and threatened to cancel me as a patient. Another drug test showed nothing in my system because again, I wasn't trying to be hooked on it so I didn't take it daily so they accused me of abusing my medication .They never respond when you leave several messages and treat you like a drug seeker or addict from day one. No matter what your situation is. They are not healthcare workers and doctors. They have no empathy or care for the patients they are supposed to be helping. They redefined their job to keep getting more money by bringing in more patients and then removing the ones that won't follow their rules and keeping the ones that agree to everything. They don't want you to informed. They want you to be compliant. I was talked into a second round of injections and this time, I couldn't walk directly after. They wheeled me out of the office so fast after anesthesia and then refused to answer my calls and questions until my follow up appointment 2 weeks later. I still had shooting pain down my legs and was in more pain than when I originally went in. When I finally had my appointment, it wasn't even with the doctor. It was with the nasty, rude, pathetic NP, Erika, that knew nothing about me or my case. She got on the call and immediately started grilling me until she got a negative reaction so she could have an excuse to drop me as a patient . She refused to refill my medication or let me speak with my doctor until I came to do a drug test within 2 hours which, I could not....I have a full time job working with special needs kids that I cannot just leave. So she hung up on me. And dropped me as a patient. I had to go to the office on my day off to find out that they would no longer see me as a patient and that they could call the police if they had to. WILD. There are so many additional things that I personally dealt with, but please, take a few minutes and read through other patients reviews. They are all accurate. We have all been treated like shit for being in pain. And unfortunately, taking any pain doctor to court will just result in being called a drug seeker and losing our money. And the drs. all know this. so they continue to treat people like crap becausej they can. If you feel like you wanna call a lawyer, do it!

When I look up this business on Yelp for the SLO office, 14 out of their 21 reviews are 1 star…read morewhich is literally 2/3 of the reviews in regards to this office. Now I see why. ‍ By adding another 1 star review, now it will be 15 out of 22 reviews that have 1 star, says pretty much all one needs to know when considering putting your health and wellness in the hands of this medical practice. I already struggle with chronic pain because of fibromyalgia, however I had a severe traumatic injury and triple fractured my ankle about 2 years ago. My orthopedic surgeon Dr. Abernathy (who I adore and is amazing) referred me to Pacific Pain Physicians in the hopes that it would help me in *some* way deal with the pain from the 2 surgeries and the injury from 2 years ago that permanently damaged both of my ankles and one of my knees. So not only do I now have chronic pain but I have new acute pain from the injuries and 2 surgeries. Unfortunately, going to this office and 'physician' was a total waste of my time. First off, the doctor was a bit gruff, which obviously is the last thing you need if you are already struggling with pain, but also my time with him yielded no results and he had ZERO suggestions for me except to take gabapentin which I have a bad reaction to and cannot take. I asked him about different treatments or supplements or anything that might help me and literally EVERY SINGLE THING I asked him about whether a treatment or action or supplement might help me (a few things I had read about doing a little research on my own before the appointment), and he referred me off to ask someone else for every. Single. Thing. For one question he bounced it off and said "Sure, you should talk to your orthopedic surgeon about that". In regards to another question he told me to talk to my general practitioner doctor ‍ And another question I asked him about he suggested that I ask my physical therapist.‍ ‍ He had literally NO helpful information, treatments, or suggestions for me, as well as being gruff and dismissive and not very kind or supportive at all. Thanks a lot for wasting my time and energy, since it takes a lot for me to drive all the way from Atascadero to SLO and to even just get dressed and get in the car and go to an appointment is difficult because of the traumatic injury and the chronic pain and fatigue. So thanks for wasting my time, energy, and money and making me feel more hopeless. Since then I have done even more research and there are LOTS of treatments out there and things to do that help both chronic and acute injuy-related/post surgery pain, as well as address the psychological and emotional repercussions that always happen as a result of chronic and/or acute pain, and I was hoping that Pacific Pain Physicians would be able to guide me towards those, or provide treatments themselves, or at THE VERY LEAST give me helpful information. They had NONE. This doctor and practice should have much more resources (that it turns out DO exist), so either they don't know about them, which is creepy - OR they don't want to give that information to their clients, which is even creepier! I am guessing because they would not benefit enough financially from those treatments or suggestions. Either way it was off putting and did I mention creepy? Yes, creepy , that a ***pain specialist DOCTOR**** had NO options, ideas, suggestions, or helpful tips or recommendations for me of ANY kind - other than putting a medication in my body (Gabapentin) that doesn't agree with my system. And when I told him that he did not pivot and offer any other suggestions, he was just giving me a dead stare. So then I proceeded to ask specific questions about specific ideas and he just referred me off to somebody else for EVERY SINGLE QUESTION. They should have much more options for their clients, things that I found out later. Because of that horrible appointment, I was forced to do a lot more research and there is lots of information and are many treatments/actions I could try that actually do exist, but they don't offer those or even want to give you information, which as a patient made me feel misguided and underinformed as well as trivialized, hopeless, and without options. That is literally why we go to them is to get help! This whole experience made me feel worse, both the physical pain that it caused me to have to go to an appointment and function and walk with my injuries, but also emotionally and psychologically it set me back. This practice and doctor should be ashamed by their lack of helpful treatments or advice, lack of empathy and support, and creating an off-putting experience for people who are already struggling. The last thing anybody who is dealing with pain needs is to waste their time, energy, and money. The fact that me and 14 other people felt strongly enough about their negative (and/or completely fruitless) experience that they needed to take their time and energy to warn others is very telling.

Office staff turns patients away. Two examples:…read more 1. I had an appointment and was there on time, yet they claimed I was late. This was a post op appointment which is critical for the doctor to check the injection site. They didn't own up to it being their mistake and turned me away claiming it was my fault. I ended up having to have surgery, and even the surgeon said how ridiculous their behavior was. 2. Later I talked to a patient (now former patient) who said they turned him away, even though there literally was construction outside their door. This is being reported to The Medical Board of California as well as the California Department of Public Health.

I have…read moregone in for urine tests and gotten calls demanding that I go for a retest that Morphine showed up in my urine, and I hadn't had any morphine at all!!! I have called about problems and never received calls back, I've been ordered down to their SLO office even though I informed them that it isn't a good time for me to go down that I was in terrible pain. I have been accused of shopping doctors to get extra pain medication. When I tried to explain that the previous Nurse Practitioner told me that I was no longer a patient with them and I was on my own, the NP that called me and snarled that she knew all about it (which she didn't). I was treated like a 5 year old that couldn't handle medication on their own and was put on a schedule of getting my medication every two weeks. My dosage was also cut enormously so I was at the point that all I could do is sit in my chair and hurt. As for seeing a doctor????? What doctor????? I was with the SLO pain clinic for over 3 years and I don't remember EVER seeing a doctor. I was beginning to believe that they don't exist!!!! I had left a bunch of paperwork and a note about the first NP, and stated I wanted the paperwork back, and it didn't arrive. They either kept it or destroyed it. I really can't find one good thing to say about this pain clinic. I don't expect to be handled like royalty, but I sure don't expect to be treated like the village idiot and something that crawled out of the septic tank either. As it is I am treated more like a pile of dog sh*t that the NP stepped in while wearing her brand new Parada shoes than a patient that needed some understanding with a touch of compassion. I was only a pay check to her and nothing more. I lucked out today, I spoke to my Nurse Practitioner, (I refer to her as a Nurse PITA) and they are dismissing me from their practice...that was after I vented my spleen and told her that the clinic was fired-GOOD BYE!!!! I am not about to grovel and have someone who doesn't know my pain issues pull the strings on my life and pain and not listen to what's going on with them. When I told her today that I had fallen and possibly refractured my ankle, she asked the intelligent question "Are you walking on it?" Duh! How does one get to the bathroom? I have to admit that my Christmas is made with my getting rid of the SLO Pain Clinic. It is no more a pain clinic than I am a Astronaut! If you're considering them, think twice, they don't give a damn for the patient, just the pay check!!!!
