Ratings for Dr. Paul Bachwitt
2.0
I could give no stars I would. The receptionist who greeted us and went over my father’s medical history was really polite and kind. Dr. Bachwitt came in with a barely audible hello and started to read the medical history without any introduction or pleasantries. He was doing a worker’s compensation exam on my father who is 71 with a bad back. Dr. Bachwitt started his exam and while most of the exam was impersonal and cold it was fine. The Dr. then asks my father to lay down on the flat table. My Dad tries to lay down and gets stuck in a half laying/half sitting position and cannot move any farther any direction. My dad then asks the doctor to get him up and that it hurts too much and he can’t do it. The Dr. ignores his complaints and pleas for help and coldly tells him he has to. At this point my father is in tears(which I haven’t seen in my 29 years of life) and asks again for help and he can’t do it. The doctor still ignores my fathers pain and I jump up and yell at him that he is hurting him and help my father out of the position. The nurse who was assisting also told the doctor that my father was in pain and couldn’t complete the task. She says sorry informs us the examination is over and we can go. Dr. Bachwitt says nothing and walks out of the room.
Good luck! And I would recommend himat all mind somewhere else
i would not let this doctor work on my dog, should be banned from seeing anybody ,just an hack for workers comp and insurance co, don't go ,don't go ,don't go
Very professional Doctor. Listens to your concerns and helps you accordingly.
What a quack doctor.. Had carpel syndrome and went to dr golbarb who is very reputable. His report stated moderate to severe CTS. Workers comp then sent me to this quack who said I didn't have any symptoms in his opinion. I'm retained a lawyer
POOR EXCUSE FOR A DOCTOR SHOULD BE BAN FROM SEEING ANYBODY JUST A DOCTOR FOR HIRE FOR WORKER COMP
I have a right foot injury.Four doctors have told me not to drive. This doctor told me I should start driving. I cannot even use my foot. I walk with crutches. He needs to retire.
This Doctor does not what he's doing IN my MMI he said I had bulging l1-l2 l2-l3 l5-s1 and that AP lumbar spin shows diffuse degene er ative changes with narrowing at l5-s1 but then my diagonsis is a lumbar strain and a right hip strain and I could back full dutys has CNA
Worker's comp set this app't up for an IME. My husband has multiple herniated dics and 1 bulging disc at his tale bone (according to his MRI). He is in alot of pain and can't stand or sit for very long at a time. Neurosurgeon put him below sendentary and told him he could not return to his regular job as a truck driver. After seeing Dr. Bachwitt, his report stated he could go back to full duty with no restrictions and that his injury was just a pulled muscle. My husband has worked his whole life and only missed 3 days of work in 25 years and workers comp and this "so called doctor" treated him like trash. He has been trying to get some relief since Nov of 2011. So in order to get him some help we are now going to use our own health insurance. I would NOT recommend this doctor to anyone even if he offered his services for free..
This Doctor has no clue what is going on!and should not be a Docter!
