It was hot in the room we are in, and my husband has a condition where heat makes him sick on top of the spinal issues he has. He had to walk out and ask if he was being seen and was greeted by Dr. Barkoh with a very short unapologetic answer. The visit was very rushed, and we left still with questions because he was so short. Lucy, his medical secretary, was also a bit rude in the way she presented herself. This is our first time going through the things we are going through, and she was very short and seemed as if I was a bother when asking questions because there was a language barrier. We scheduled the surgery but decided to back out and see a different provider. We seen a neurosurgeon today and he was excellent. Dr. Barkou and his staff can definitely use some compassion and empathy.

When I was 68 years old, I went to Woodlands Sports Medicine at the suggestion of my PCP for…read moretreatment of sciatica in the lower back. Dr. David Strausser proved to be an outstanding doctor, first guiding me thru a series of PT sessions before evaluating me for surgery. I developed debilitating pain at nite that began in the hamstring attachment to the hip, then ran down the back of my knee to the ankle. I lay in bed 9 hours to get 6 hours of arrested sleep. The PT sessions continued for three months -- with limited (and temporary) gains. Ten days before the scheduled surgery, Dr. Strausser suggested an epidural injection into the affected lumbar area. His treatment that afternoon enabled me to put the 4-point walker in the closet the next day. It was and still is the single most effective medical experience in my life. Surgery was rendered unnecessary by the success of the injection. Not only did his therapy deliver a prompt and comparatively complete cure, but Dr. Strausser advised me on appropriate exercise and stretching routines to keep my spine limber. "Use a recumbent bicycle and take up swimming in your workouts" were his words. His knowledge extends to protective measures in how to use the back, not just avoidance of injury. I regret taking 3.5 years to write this note, but for readers with similar sciatica problems, my long measure of cure confirms the success of the Strausser Method. Michael S. -- The Woodlands

The first rule of medicine is supposed to be "first, do no harm." Unfortunately, that principle…read moreseemed completely lost at this office. (Edit: I should specify this was with Dr. Shatby's office.) My primary care doctor referred me here after an X-ray came back negative for bone break/fracture. My PCP believed I likely needed an MRI and evaluation by an orthopedist. Before the appointment, I confirmed my referral had gone through, provided all my information, and was told they were only missing the X-ray results. They gave me a fax number, I contacted the imaging center, and had the results faxed over. Problem solved - or so I thought. I arrive for my appointment only to be told the doctor refuses to see me without the actual x-ray imaging files, despite already having the radiologist's report. Instead of explaining this requirement beforehand, the receptionist immediately tried to push me into getting another X-ray done right there. Her response? "Don't worry, it's only a $10 copay." That completely missed the point. I didn't 't care about the copay. I care about exposure to unnecessary ionizing radiation and unnecessary repeat imaging when my PCP already believed the next step was an MRI. Why was I being asked to repeat an X-ray I literally just had done less than a week before? Hmm... I declined the repeat X-ray, drove all the way back to the imaging center, obtained the DVD myself, and brought it back to their office the same day. I had to actually get a physical DVD because this office also does not have any method in place for receiving digital records such as x-rays. OK, so let me get this straight: their office REQUIRES the original images, but yet they have NO WAY to receive such images except for an antiquated DVD, and if someone does not have said DVD, then they require them to get NEW images, coincidentally done at THEIR facility, or else the Dr. won't see the patient? Does that seem appropriate to you? Finally, after all that effort, I was then told the doctor had already left for the day. So they wanted to reschedule me for the following week. To make matters worse, they charged me the co-pay for the appointment, which I am disputing. They are also trying to bill my insurance for the appointment even though I was never actually seen (disputing that also). The entire experience felt less focused on patient care and far more focused on funneling patients into in-house imaging. Maybe there's a perfectly innocent explanation (I doubt it), but when a patient is pressured to repeat x-ray imaging they already completed, despite a specialist referral specifically for an MRI evaluation, it raises serious concerns, to say the least. Patients are not just billing opportunities. Repeated radiation exposure may be "small" each time, but it is cumulative, and unnecessary exposure is still unnecessary exposure. The complete lack of coordination, communication, and respect for the patient's time and SAFETY was unacceptable. Stay far away. I will not be returning.
