I had to ask the Dr if he treated patients with possible MS. Seemed like the office was full of peopke looking for pain meds,maybe this office only deals with pain? He said arrigantky, I'm a neurologist. It's half and half, pain clinic and neuro. Then asked me why I asked-were patients in the waiting room saying they were in pain!? Before him, Rita or Reba came in but didn't really say what was her purpose. Took a lot of notes about pain, wrote down to discontinue ibuprofen and neurontin since they didn't help mych BUT didn't prescribe anything else. Then Dr does all kinds of testing in the office, doesn't followup with results, has staff make appt for me in Rensalear for more tests, and never writes a refill for neurontin nor even discuss what meds I should be on for my burning numbness and tingling in all 4 extremities, says he needs all previous records first (?!) and more tests before he makes a diagnosis. I could respect his thoroughness IF he would treat my symptoms in the meantime! I was given nothing to alleviate the symptoms! Isn't that part of the expectations when you go see a Dr? Maybe he is double billing for pain eval (so called) by Rita/ Reba and then for his eval. Oh, he did no eval, just took notes and tests in his office. Convenient, maybe lucrative too? Something doesn't add up. NOT Going back!
