This doctor made me feel so hopeless. I told him I suffer from migraines and chronic neck pain from a fall. He wanted to take me off of the two medications that work just fine for me and put me on four pills that don't. He spoke poorly of my gen doctor and said he was sick of my doctors office referring him patients on pain meds. Wow! How unprofessional. I went in his office willing to try anything to alleviate and manage the pain but his approach was so so offensive that I couldn't even focus on anything but the fact that he made me feel like some kind of pill seeking junky. I spoke to him about surgery and he told me that it wouldn't help. He told me to buy a book and go on a gluten free diet. In all honesty, every morning since I've gone into that office when the pain hits and shoots, burns, throbs or pierces in my neck or my head feels like there's a ten ton truck on it, I have thought of the doctor at unipain and how I wish he could feel as miserable as I do. All he did was tell me about another patient who was a walking miracle because of a gluten free diet. He brought up this patient and told the story repeatedly instead of asking me about my family history. If he had, he may have learned that my mom and aunt are crippled from rheumatoid arthritis and this may be why I'm losing the ability to turn my head left and right. I AM willing to try alternative methods to manage the pain but not from someone who says I HAVE enough pain for them to stick needles in my neck but NOT enough pain for meds that work?
