I didn't know that this man had a terrible reputation as an honest doctor, as I been told he is a company doctor and would lie for them, now I know, but for me is too late, I learned it the hard way, Please anyone outhere that is thinking to go to see this man, please be aware of my terrible experience I give this man a MINUS *5 STAR*

Yes indeed. If you are looking for a doctor that really listens to your concerns and actually…read morespends the time with you rather than shuffle you out of the door so that he can see and bill the next patient, than Dr. David Chittenden has to be your choice. I have seen Dr. Chittenden and he has always treated me as a real person and not just another billing patient. Too many doctors have forgotten the Hippocratic oath and are unwilling to spend the necessary time with you. Not so with Dr. Chittenden. You will not be disappointed.

Dr.Bruckman asked me how I injured my ankle and I told him what had happened. He listened to what I had to tell him and I was amazed because some doctor's wouldn't even listen if it's about workers comp. He listened and diagnosed the injury right away. He was very kind and he also taught me a few good tricks to loosen up my muscles so I can prevent future injuries on the job. So far it really helped and I am thankful that I have picked him to be my QME doctor.

After a month of gentle adjustments the headaches were gone. My neck and hand completely recovered some months later (can't remember exactly how many... hey, it's been 10 years!). Since then, I go in periodically for maintenance and to correct misalignments when I do stupid things, like falling into a traffic light pole and hitting my head or trying to carry bricks in a bag on one shoulder. Good chiropractic treatment isn't free, but I prefer it to back surgery!

I originally started seeing her about a shoulder injury but soon realized she could help me listen to my body and let my feelings come up, which gave me a chance to really relax and breathe. I like the combination of physical and emotional healing and her very very careful touch. She's got a lot of wisdom and is spiritual without being at all new-age or preachy. Over time, she's helped me change my relationship with my body so that I live inside it instead of somewhere in my head. Highest recommendation!

TLDR; 1 star for the experience, the only saving grace here was that I was able to secure an…read moreappointment right away. Why I was able to do that, however, has become clear to me. My original PCP moved further away from my office a couple of weeks ago, and I needed a recurring prescription refilled ASAP, so it was time to begin my search for a new primary doctor. Drumm Medical is close to my office, accepts United Healthcare, and was the only doctor's office within a mile from me (Financial District) that was able to book me for an appointment within the week -- they actually suggested an appointment time for later that day! Objectively speaking, I went to my appointment and got my prescription written up without a hitch, but it wasn't the most pleasant experience. Prior to booking my appointment, I had read a scad of reviews bashing the establishment for lack of professionalism and for its unwelcoming environment. This was all true to a degree. The office and the lighting looked kind of janky (think the way the room in Saw was lit: slightly yellowish-green tint with some flickering lights) and Dr. Larson (the only doctor there, I believe) seemed very... call it "rough around the edges". He would ask me questions and if I didn't give a very direct answer, he would interrupt me and rephrase the question in a demanding manner to garner a more succinct answer (as you can see from this review, I'm unnecessarily verbose sometimes, so that may be partially my fault). While this works as a power play in business settings, when it comes to visiting my PCP, I don't want to feel like I'm speaking with Jack Welch or that ruthless AOL CEO, who brutally and publicly fired one of his executives on an all-hands conference call - I want to talk to someone who will take the time to listen to every hypochondriasis-induced complain or concern I may have, take it all in, and calmly tell me either "you don't have anything to worry about regarding X" or "we need to take a look at X asap, it sounds like Y, and you could be in danger of Z." I've probably watched too much House, but these small seemingly-innocuous details always seem to be what determines whether the fictional patient lives or dies a horrible and painful death. But, I realized this, got over it, and answered his questions concisely like he wanted; he wrote my prescription and I was on my way. The real trouble started when I went to CVS and they wouldn't fill my prescription because there was no quantity specified. There was a box that gave a quantity range, which he correctly checked, but they said an exact quantity had to be written in if they were to fill it. I left and called Dr. Larson and told him the problem. He responded in a very flustered manner: "What do you mean there's no quantity written? I WROTE THE QUANTITY". "No, I see a box that says 25-40, but no quantity," I timidly responded. Apparently, without looking, he retorted "I wrote quantity 30. 30, if you can recall, is between 25 and 40." Annoyed that he was patronizing me for a mistake that he made, I responded "I know what numbers come between 25 and 40 - thank you for the grade school lesson, but I am looking at the prescription you wrote here, and it says 'Quantity:' with nothing after it." He told me to hold and came back a few seconds later and apologized and admitted that he indeed had not specified a quantity. He told me to come back in the next day and he would have a new prescription ready for me. In the end, I got the prescription I needed, but I'm 99.5% certain I will not be seeing Dr. Larson again (especially not after publishing this review). I can handle a doctor who demands brief answers as their time is important and being in a service field for so many years can probably wear on your patience - I get that. However, the condescending way with which he used to speak to me over the phone, especially given that it was his fuck up, was inexcusable and just plain disrespectful. To keep my blood pressure low, I'll plan ahead for my doctor's appointments in the future.

Cynthia Dyess was the QME picked from a Panel for a Worker's Compensation psych eval. She evaluated me for 50 minutes; the first 30 minutes was spent taking 3 rey tests, asking me about my father, my family, places I've lived and worked. As she was ushering me to the door she stated I couldn't afford her, I'd need therapy for this once a week for at least a year, she gave me a referral of a colleague because in her words "there are no good worker's comp. doctors". I left our brief meeting feeling she would be recommending I get the help I need. Not once did she ask how I felt or how the WC claim has affected my life. When she finally did ask why I was there she said to "concisley explain what happened ", unfortunately, what happened to me could not be explained in 5 minutes or less, when I began to explain I looked up at her and saw a look of boredom and impatience, so I stopped - that was it. She said she'd have her report done by the end of day, basing my state of mind and physical well-being off of the medical records sent to her earlier? - why did I need to be there since she showed no interest finding out why I had to file the worker's compensation claim. Can a therapist adaquately know a person in 50 minutes and not ask or understand what happened to them? A competent doctor/therapist would spend the time to understand why the person was there to talk to them in the first place. At the end of all this she lied to me - to my face and made statements in her QME report that were never discussed, said or even factual. I'll have to find a way to pay someone to help me work through my work related depression and anxiety or just kill myself - thank you Cynthia Biased. If you do see this lady as a QME, hopefully, you can focus her attention on the reason you're there, not the relationship you had with your father. Don't let her spend the majority of the time she's billing workers compensation on timing you counting dots, a child can do that. Be mindful what Dyess says to you, it may not be true. Psychiatrist's expert in their field know it takes hours of face-to-face time to diagnose and perform a proper evaluation of a patient. It appears Dyess has the unskilled Dunning-Kruger effect, in no way will she re-eval her evals. She is correct on one thing, she is not a good Worker's Comp. QME.
