I cannot recommend Dr. Edward Baumgartner or this pain management practice…read more Before I was even allowed to schedule an appointment, this office required me to obtain and send medical records from my primary care physician and previous pain management provider, which would be fine if they reviewed them, which they did not, as evidenced by my treatment and lack there of. That process delayed my care for weeks. During my initial appointment, Dr. Baumgartner told me that I was using illicit drugs. He also discussed my previous pain management records in a manner that, in my view, suggested he believed I was diverting or selling my prescribed pain medication because prior urine drug screens from another doctor, did not detect the medication I had been prescribed. I attempted to explain my medical history, which includes strong malabsorption issues, to the degree that I regularly need infusions for proper absorpion of nutrients that should be absorbed and distributed by food intake alone. When I tried to explain this, I was not given the opportunity for a meaningful discussion before these conclusions were communicated. All of which was reflected numerous times in my medical records, which is one of the reasons why I conclude no one bothered to actually read the records. I provided a urine specimen during my visit, to clear up the conclusion that I was using ilicit drugs and asked that it be ran while I waited. The results were never reviewed with me. Dr. Baumgardner knew I was scheduled for major lumbar fusion surgery within two days. Despite that, my follow-up appointment was scheduled six weeks later. After surgery, when I contacted the office because I was experiencing severe postoperative pain, I did not receive the level of care or urgency I expected from a pain management practice. My pain was belittled instead. The office repeatedly prescribed medications that were not covered by my insurance, with quoted costs ranging from hundreds of dollars to over $1,000. I was later prescribed an NSAID despite my documented medical history, which includes gastric bypass surgery and gastrointestinal conditions for which I have been instructed not to take NSAIDs ever again in life. This is how I've concluded that my medical records were not adequately reviewed after the office insisted on obtaining them before scheduling my appointment. My interactions with the office manager, Jenny/Julie, were equally disappointing. My concerns regarding severe postoperative pain were handled in a dismissive manner, and I experienced no compassion or urgency from the office. Pain management patients seek care because they are already suffering. They deserve careful review of their medical history, respectful communication, and treatment based on the individual patient rather than assumptions. That was not my experience. For those reasons, I will not return to this practice and cannot recommend Dr. Baumgartner or his office to anyone seeking compassionate and competent pain management.

l Complaint Regarding Incorrect Procedure Authorization, Billing Issues, and Lack of Management…read moreEscalation To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal complaint regarding my experience with Minivasive Pain & Orthopedics and the handling of my upcoming injection procedure. During my initial consultation, the physician informed me that I would require a steroid injection and that a future appointment would be scheduled for the procedure. After meeting with the physician, I spoke with a staff member to complete the scheduling process. During that conversation, I was specifically asked whether I wanted anesthesia during the injection. I clearly stated that I did not want anesthesia because I have received similar injections in the past without anesthesia and did not feel it was necessary. Later, I was contacted and informed that my procedure had been scheduled with anesthesia, resulting in a significantly higher patient responsibility amount. I was told my out-of-pocket cost would be approximately $800 or more because anesthesia had been added to the procedure. I immediately contacted your office to explain that I had specifically declined anesthesia during my visit. Rather than correcting the issue, I was repeatedly redirected between departments. I was told to contact financial services. Financial services then advised me to contact the referring physician. When I contacted the referring physician's office, they confirmed that they had not ordered anesthesia and that no anesthesia request was included in the referral documentation sent to Minivasive. As a result, I have spent considerable time attempting to determine who added anesthesia to my procedure and why. No one has been able to provide a clear answer. More concerning is the fact that I have repeatedly requested to speak with a manager regarding this issue and have been unable to reach one despite multiple attempts. My concerns are as follows: 1. An anesthesia service appears to have been added despite my explicit refusal. 2. No one has been able to identify who authorized this change. 3. I have been redirected between departments without receiving a resolution. 4. I have been unable to speak with management despite multiple requests. 5. The lack of communication and accountability has delayed my care and created unnecessary stress and financial concerns. I am requesting: * An immediate investigation into how anesthesia was added to my procedure. * Written confirmation regarding who authorized the anesthesia order. * Correction of any inaccurate documentation. * Review of the billing estimate associated with this procedure. * A direct response from a Practice Manager or senior administrator regarding this complaint. I expect a written response within a reasonable timeframe. In addition, I have been experiencing significant pain for approximately 24 hours a day and am seeking this injection to obtain relief and improve my quality of life. Instead of receiving timely treatment, I have been forced to spend my time making repeated phone calls between different departments attempting to correct an issue that should never have occurred. The ongoing confusion, lack of accountability, and inability to obtain clear answers have caused unnecessary delays in my care and prolonged my suffering. It is extremely frustrating to feel as though I am being passed around and forced to participate in a bureaucratic process while I continue to live with ongoing pain. My focus should be on receiving the medical treatment I need, not trying to determine where an unauthorized anesthesia order originated. Sincerely, Djibril Sagna
