They did random drug testing and every three months and i've never come up dirty. They were by no means a "Pill Mill" but I went to my appointment today only to find out that the DEA will not let any controlled substance prescriptions to be written and as of today the Owings Mills office is closing down. I had broken my back and neck, the calcaneus in my right foot was shattered and is held together with titanium plates and pins along with brain damage. I have many other problems I deal with resulting from a car accident that was in no way my fault. I live in a constant state of pain, however the medications enabled me to get through each day. Tomorrow I will most likely be in the hospital because the DEA and the Federal government doesn't care about the patients when they want to make an example out of a Doctor whose done nothing wrong.

I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care I receive from Dr. Hugo Torres and Melissa Richards, CRNP. Recently, I had a problem after hours and Dr. Gunawardane was covering. Dr Gunawardane was very concerned and helpful in resolving my problem. I usually see Melissa Richards, NP for my monthly office visits. The office support staff is absolutely exceptional. I am always greeted with a warm and welcoming hello when I enter the office. Melissa is not only attentive and thorough, but also takes the time to explain my treatment options. They are also open to considering my suggestions regarding my treatment plan and care about what I have to say. They listen to my observations of my treatment and consider my condition with great empathy and respect. They explain the purpose of their recommendations so that I may understand the alternatives and limitations. They don't just hand me my opioid prescriptions and say "see you next month", like some of the other pain management office's have done to me. Melissa listens and talks with me and makes sure all my questions have been addressed. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

After scheduling an appointment 4 weeks in advance, she is notoriously late from 30 to 55 minutes for each appointment. She barely looks or speaks to you during your appointment. She constantly checks her phone or types on a lap top. She will want to hold your hands a pray, read religious scripts to you and suggest you join her religious prayer/cult group. She even gave me a phone number to call and meet her prayer cult daily at 6am and 6 pm. One make doctor at the practice told me to NEVER Schedule an appointment with him, only with a PA. I asked Dodzi-Bell for 8 months to please order an updated MRI because the pain was getting worse. She didn't. My new MRI with a real doctor at a Spine center shows my condition has deteriorated. I need a spine fusion. CLEARWAY PAIN will take your money but only push medication or shots. DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME OR MONEY AND YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S MONEY. Call center suck. Scheduling an appointment 28 days in advance with DODZI-BELL ALWAYS run 30 to 50 minutes OR MORE late and they don't listen to YOUR concerns. Horrible business practices!!!! If you leave a bad review they will make up stuff to discharge you from the practice. Written JULY 6, 2026... December 2024 ... PA was behind with appointments. She came in a half hour after my appointment time. Other than that, actual scheduled time late because of the PA running late, everything else went fine.
