The reviews listed below were collected independently of Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics & Spine Specialists, PC through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
He was nice and empathetic but was no help but then he is a surgeon so I understand why he couldn’t take over my case and continue to prescribe meds for this 70 year old man.
However Knowing I was going thru pain med withdrawal ( which I wouldn’t curse anyone with) he sent me home without any meds on Thurs. Not even enough to get to another doctor today.
He also said he’d refer me to another pain med doc who would call me Fri but that didn’t happen either. So I am in day 2 of opiate withdrawal and will likely have to go to the hospital again. The pain and withdrawal is triggering another Multiple Sclerosis exacerbation again!
Maybe he’s a good doc but obviously he made no effort to follow thru as I received no call today from another pain med doc. So I have spent the time this past days bedridden, evacuating from every orifice going thru opiate and dilaudid withdrawal…you judge.
So if you need meds to help deal with your pain in CT I strongly urge you to find another doctor…..
