I was on Percocet for over 30 years for a spinal disease called DISH and multiple herniations over…read morethat time. The day I go on vacation was the day I was supposed to pick up my monthly Percocet but my flight left earlier than the pharmacy was open so I tried to get Turok to send me my meds to where I was going. I had multiple problems getting that done so I came home in alot of pain and extreme stiffness. His office then sent a much smaller dose and smaller quantity of my medication and I kept asking why and all I got was Dr Turok leaving nasty messages. Then I receive a letter that starting Jan 1st 2023, his office was no longer prescribing opiods and left me with NOTHING to hold me over AND still no reason why he, for the 1st time ever reduced my meds without reason! I now find out he lied to me, that letter was a complete lie and he has been prescribing opiods without interruption! STILL NO EXPLANATION and now he has blackballed me as no other pain mgt doctor will give me what I need, give me any opiods at all and some won't even see me!!! I not only have advanced DISH but now need a 4 level fusion in my neck, have Shmorl nodes eating away my lumbar spine and this POS doctor could care less! On top of that, he talked me into getting Testosterone implanted in me last year without any care that my BP spiked so high that I almost stroked out and refused to take any responsibility. Moreover, I found out after the fact that when I thought I was getting epidurals for my neck and back, they were either trigger point injections or nerve blocks. As others have pointed out, Turok is nice when you're giving him the high priced injections and other treatments that he can make the most money but if you mainly need pain meds to function and you cause any issue on getting your meds, he'll shut you down and lie his ass off! Avoid this POS! It's too bad I couldn't give a 0 Stars.

I have dizziness and can't function normally He did not even tested me on the visit, just briefly looked at the eyes and said follow the pen Said the the tests will be performed by the stuff in the office but not him!!!! And as per the office stuff the test can't be scheduled before 2 weeks from the office visit as insurance not going to cover it!!! What a Joke ! Called the insurance and they told me it is not true!! Stuff and doctor is very unprofessional! Turok said that his physical therapist can do vestibular therapy but apparently he was not trained to do it at all ( as he told me himself) Wanted me to do the ultrasound if the arteries but there person only comes one time a month Asked him to give me the RX to see another ultrasound office- refuses to do so I would stay away from this office Going to complain about this doctor:(

She might be an excellent neurologist. I'm not really sure--the majority of my experience with her…read moreinvolved discussing my insurance. After an extended interview period with her (again, spent discussing my insurance), she gave me a neurological test that concluded with, "Yes, you've had a concussion. The symptoms will go away in a year." A year and five months later, the symptoms haven't gone away. I called her office, filled out MORE insurance paperwork, only to be told by her receptionist that they have to cancel my appointment, because--WRONG INSURANCE! So again, who knows what kind of doctor she might be? She would have made a hell of an insurance adjuster. Perhaps she missed her true calling.

And of course, accepts insurance. She came highly recommended by one of those 'top docs' in Connecticut and did not disappoint.

Because I presented with unusual bilateral facial pain, Dr Yeung disregarded my symptoms and diagnosed me with Persistent Idiopathic Facial Pain, a garbage diagnosis. When all the medications failed i decided to try Botox, which is where Dr Gottschalk came in. He did not want to hear about my theory that I had Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia and maybe another neuralgia. I showed him the various criteria I met on the International Classification of Headache Diseases within the facial neuralgia section. Nope. I went to a world renowned expert in the area of facial neuralgia. He read my pain logs, my McGill Pain Scale, looked at my sketch showing the location and type of pain on my face. He said I was right, I had TN2, or Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia. Guess who disregarded this information? A new MRI, the RIGHT KIND POINTING AT THE CORRECT PART OR MY SKULL, showed i had s surgical option, one i would have take 4 years earlier if only Kyeung and Gottschalk hadn't failed me through their arrogance.
