Review of Mid Atlantic Pain Specialists - Dr. Robert T. Chapdelaine, M.D…read more I wish I had read the reviews before visiting Mid Atlantic Pain Specialists in Pennsville, NJ. Today, I saw Dr. Robert T. Chapdelaine, and I don't have anything positive to say about the experience. After seeing him in person, I can absolutely understand why so many reviews share the same concerns. This doctor does not respect his patients or their medical conditions. He does not value your time. He does not speak to you with empathy. Unfortunately, I found him to be dismissive, unprepared, and ultimately uncaring. I am a disabled adult living with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes (LADA), also known as Type 1.5 or Type 3 Diabetes, as well as Diabetic Gastroparesis. I've been under pain management care for 7 years in both Florida and Maryland. After recently purchasing a home in Pennsville, my doctor referred me to a local pain specialist -- which led me here. I truly wish I had researched more thoroughly before making the appointment. The Visit: Wait Time: My appointment was at 11:00 AM, but I wasn't seen until 12:45 PM. I sat in the waiting room for nearly 1 hour and 45 minutes, watching three patients who arrived after me go in before me. Forms: Despite spending about an hour the night before filling out the online intake forms, I was handed a redundant paper packet asking for the same information when I arrived. The Doctor's Approach: Dr. Chapdelaine walked in and didn't even make eye contact. I had to introduce myself. He asked very basic questions (like my primary care physician's name and when I last had a gastric imaging), clearly without reviewing my chart in advance. It felt like he was just going through the motions. The Breakdown: When he finally asked about my condition, I explained I have Latent Autoimmune Diabetes. He immediately replied, "An autoimmune disease doesn't tell me anything about your condition." I clarified that I have Latent Autoimmune Disease -- also referred to as Type 3 Diabetes -- and began to explain further. He cut me off to say, "Excuse me, I'm speaking," and launched into a general explanation of autoimmune diseases that showed he wasn't understanding or willing to engage with the specifics of mine. When I pointed out he wasn't listening, he became visibly irritated. I tried once more to clarify, and when I said "Excuse me, I'm speaking" in response to my being interrupted, he clearly didn't appreciate being spoken to the same way he was speaking to me -- and he walked out of the appointment. Summary: This doctor did not respect my medical condition. This doctor did not respect my time. This doctor did not treat me with empathy or basic human decency. This doctor was just the worst. Do I think this review will change his behavior? Honestly, no. From what I experienced, it seemed he stopped caring long ago. But I'm writing this in the hope that it helps you avoid the same experience. You deserve a provider who listens, who learns, and who treats patients with dignity and respect. This was not that

As a caregiver, I took my neighbor to see Dr. Chapdelaine for a 10 am appointment. When we arrived…read more10 minutes early we were met with a tablet to sign in along with paperwork on a clipboard. I filled out the info on the tablet when it decided to take a crap and not work. It took a few to reset it but was able to complete it. The waiting room is small but was full of patients. Hard to accommodate someone in a wheelchair. As patients started going in to be seen, others kept coming in. We waited and waited as others that came in after us went in before us. We said something 2 times only to be met with "well, I only am taking the paperwork on the top." So tell me, how in the world did a patient that came on 15 minutes ago, was already called into a room before us (mind you we arrived 950 am, it is now 11:15 am)?? The staff was very inconsiderate and just shut the door with no response. Even on the phone just to get an appointment they were rude, and then to have the long awaited appointment to be cancelled by the office the day before was not very appealing. The front staff needs to be taught some manners, not be rude and inconsiderate!!! Will be looking for another pain management specialist after today.

Then I was told I had to show up an hour and a half (90 mins) in advance for an x-ray -she said they don't do the actual x-rays on site so I would have to go through AMI imaging first-conveniently located in their parking lot, while I'm assuming it is also a separate charge. They want to be certain the x-ray is complete and so I have to sit and wait 90 minutes so I don't keep the doctor waiting - what?? What about keeping ME waiting? Or I could drive the 20 miles (one way) days before the appointment for the x-ray, then show up again the day of my actual appointment. Why is it that all of the other ortho offices I called told me they take x-rays on-site without waiting to see the doctor? Does Premier know there are other ortho offices and doctors you can see that won't make you wait on hold, jump through hoops, and be totally frustrated just making an appointment? So glad I found another ortho group with an appointment (sooner) with x-rays on the spot and no additional hours wasted of my life! My issue was already resolved by another ortho group (who was excellent), xrays on the spot, and my Premier appointment was still another week away!
