This doctor seemed...odd. He tried to put me on an extremely powerful seizure medication called Topamax for my back pain. Upon research, I discovd Topamax has horrible effects: amnesia, confusion. People forget where they are in their own homes, lose their pets, can't find their keys, get confused at stoplights, etc. I am single, a student, and live alone - not a good med for me! Was very angry he'd prescribe that and not even warn me about ANY OF THE EFFECTS. I could have RUINED my GPA, left my dogs outside to freeze to death, gotten lost on the highway, or worse. Did not return to this doctor and have serious concerns that he is passing out this kind of medicine for pain. Does he have a family member working as a Topamax drug rep or something?

A Pain Management doctor that appears to not believe in pain. Your complaint is of severe pain in the lower back and he wants to do a brain scan. Insists you have seizures when you never in your life had one and gives you brand-new, only lab-rat-tried highly expensive pills for seizures, which you don't have. Nothing for severe pain. But then, he doesn't appear to believe in pain anyway, even though injury is well documented. Had high expectation but was a disappointing experience. Just one of those doctors who ignores a patient's complaints and thinks it's got to be the opposite (preferrably your head/psychological).
