I went for my first visit in the Spartanburg office. The staff was super nice. Matter fact they…read morehelp calm my anxiety due to a fear I have with my medical community. Due to having so many surgeries since I was 8 weeks old. I have a bad bladder and kidney issues. Everything seem to being going just fine until the Dr walked in. I only know her by the name of Lisa. She seemed rude, didn't care much of what I was trying to explain to her. Wouldn't even talk about treatment options. I explained she could check my medical records. They all back me. She don't seem to care. Told me to come back to see their mental Dr in February. Then come back in March then we would talk about treatments. But she mainly dealed with spine and back pain. I felt like I was being talked at not listen too. With chornic pain I can't go until March without no type of pain control or I would be bed ridden. I called back cancelled my follow up appts and told them to stread the contract I was made to sign before seeing a Dr. I didn't want to sign it until I knew I could be helped. I wanted to see Riddrick in the Greenville office. She has very good review with people dealing with the same type of chronic illness, but she was booked and I feel like I got thrown to the first available Dr. Very clearly she knew or cared to listen. She even twisted a comment I made. I took in all med bottles, paper work. She didn't care to look at non of them. I wish I could give two different stars here. Lisa the so called rude doctor deserves a 1 If that. The staff on the other hand deserves 5 stars. People living with chronic pain can't wait 3 months have some sort of treatment. So uncalled for!! If only I could of gotten the Dr I had ask for. I feel it would be wroth the drive. Guess I should of went in with no make up and not dressed nice. Maybe if I wasn't trying to try to hide my pain on the outside I would of been taking more seriously. I'm not saying all the Dr are bad. I just had a bad experience with the one given to me. I will continue to search for a more caring Dr that will talk to me not at me! Lisa has a bad bedside manner. Only reason I'm seeking pain management is because of my wonderful uro is retiring Dec 31st. my advise from just that one visit. If u living with chronic pain avoid Lisa at the Spartanburg office. Guess goes to prove either she doesn't care for people living with chronic pain or doesn't care to understand chronic pain unless it a back or spine injury. Which I heard her repeat quite a few times. SMH.

I was worried at first due to having to go to a new dr & that they may not have kept on on same…read moremeds & would want to try other things all over again, which for me can be very harmful, but the staff & my Dr were great & luckily she listened to me, understood what had & has happened & did decide to keep me on the same meds I was on for yrs & no switch ups or do overs which could have resulted in ER visits. Even when blood pressure was thru the roof, they explained why I couldn't be seen then & to go to the ER & be checked even tho I said I was fine, they didn't want to take any chances & they worked me in the next wk or so. Yes you have to be honest, respectful, give all information & do what you are supposed to do, & if you do that then they treat you the same & are willing to help. I guess it depends on the Dr you get & luckily I got another one who listens, explains & talks to you not at you or thinks they hane all the answers so do as you are told no matter what. Dr Reddick is my dr now & she is great
