Dr. Lagatutta pressured me to get cortisone injections in my spine, which I did not want to have. When he thought I was out of earshot he asked another employee, "What is she, retarded?" I felt that this was very unnecessary, as injections do not always work for everybody and I have a right to turn it down. He refuses to keep me on my regular pain meds because I am 28, and he only "wants" to prescribe meds to people who are at least 30. I am NOT a junkie, I just have a bad scoliotic spine that causes me daily pain. Not once was he caring and seeing what worked for ME. I am trying to find another PM Dr.
