I’m in constant pain, unable to sleep for weeks, unable to work, have significant loss of feeling/function in one leg and my groin, but Mountain Valley refuses to prescribe anything for pain or proceed with surgery despite surgery being the advised, agreed upon course of treatment from both a doctor at another practice and several of the medical personnel at Mountain Valley. Instead, they ignored my repeated voicemails and wasted my time and money with endless “consults” in which no one is willing to answer my questions. I have been sent in endless circles while I continue to suffer with zero quality of life. Dr. Laszlo Szollas, however, is the absolute worst of the bunch. He wouldn’t answer a single question about my treatment and, ultimately, told me: “Either we are doing this (the epidural) or not. I don’t care either way. It’s lunch time so I need to go.” When I permanently lose all function in the affected areas and/or end up fully/partially paralyzed, it will be the fault of Mountain Valley and their complete ineptitude and the doctors’ blatant disregard for their fiduciary duty to their patients. Dr. Szollas is, without question, the worst physician I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. I wouldn't trust him to mow my lawn let alone jab a giant needle into my spine.

I was sent to him for a second opinion, and he attempted to eliminate all my pain meds, and take me over as his patient. When I resisted his staff and him became very rude even as I was suffering terrible pain. He did not seem to know what the X-rays and MRIs meant, finally sending me to another doctor for a second second opinion. Weird. Would not recommend to any human being.

I've been seeing Dr. Szollas for some time now at the request of Dr. Williams. He has been extremely rude to me on the majority of my appointments because I do not want to receive pain injections. On one visit, he told me I should, 'man up' and get the injection. I've been in tears in his office because of how he speaks to me. I've never met a doctor so unprofessional and uncaring!

He rarely reviews my medications I am on to even see how they affect me, etc. He just comes in and keeps trying to push these injections and every time I say no, he gets mad and practically runs out of the room! My last appointment I tried to ask him a question about why they are not FDA approved and he got madder and instead of discussing my question with me, told me 'I read too much!' I have my personal reasons why I do not and will not receive these injections, and he does not care how I feel.

I have avoided leaving a review on Dr. Szollas because I see another Dr. In this office and with hopes he will stop being so disrespectful! He doesn't care about me as a patient and every appointment he just gets worse!! I have extreme anxiety just going to these visits, and I've had it!

No patient should be forced to receive a procedure they do not want to benefit a doctor financially!
