Dr. Pigos was called in for a second opinion regarding Spinal and Cervical Stenosis. Although Dr. Pigos is apparently "Board Certified" in "Family Medicine," he is not qualified as a Neurologist, Neuro-Surgeon or as an Orthopedic Surgeon. Given this "lack of training" in the required fields, Dr. Pigos performed the second opinion anyway, misdiagnosing the problems and failing to recommend the only diagnostic tests that could accurately reveal the problems (i.e.: MRI's and an EMG). It is a good thing that Dr. Pigos works for the Federal Bureau of Prisons misdiagnosing inmates who for the most part have nowhere else to turn to obtain proper and necessary medical care. Its nice to have a paycheck at the taxpayer's expense for "providing" medical care to prisoners (cuts down on the malpractice insurance). I'll be seeing you in Federal Court, doctor!
