The customer service here is terrible. The first time I came here, the woman behind the desk was…read moretalking about movies with another coworker, and some of it was inappropriate, ( curse words included) And it was loud enough for everybody to hear. The second time I came here with my husband, the woman behind the counter, never acknowledge us, never even looked at us. I had to address her, I said hello, she didn't even look at me when she spoke to me, and said hello, I asked her how she was doing, she just said, fine, she never looked up, never cracked a smile, similar to the first time we came here. The wait is long, and the atmosphere here is negative. I believe my husband can get better care somewhere else, but this is covered by insurance and because of his issue, he cannot travel far and this is the closest place we can go to. If management reads this, my advice, interview your employees that are supposed to be your first impression of your company a lot closer.

I switched to Central Texas Pain Center a few months ago due to convenience but have been extremely disappointed in their process. I had to have a pre-injection consultation (although my surgeon already wrote out what I needed specifically) so they could collect an office visit fee. During this visit I waited 45 minutes to spend less than two minutes with the doctor. They also require a follow up appointment two weeks following the injections so that they can collect another office visit fee. The injections did provide the relief I needed but overall I feel they are out to make as much money as possible from each patient rather than focus on the clients' needs.

I had first ended up in the ER for the pain in my sacrum joints. Got in with Pain Specialists and…read morethe PA said the meds they gave were what they would have prescribed. Yet, when i had a serious question about them after a few days, I called for the PA's help. The desk people would not let me talk to her or even relay a message. Even though I had been informed that they were THERE for me. It seems to be the norm these days, but it really felt like a cattle call to me on injection day. Never met the doctor till I walked in for the shots. At least he removed his mask when I said You must be the doctor. We had made arrangements with billing to hold off billing until our HSA card reloaded on Feb. 1. It was like pulling teeth, but they finally agreed to that. Every surgery/procedure I've had done, the cost has always included the follow up visit to check on the patient's well being. I arrived today for my follow up, with the PA or NA, whatever she is, NOT the doctor. Was told yet another $160 was due. I let her know that billing said they would charge after the card was loaded (It's the 29th of January). I said, my HSA card will be loaded tomorrow on pay day, can you just take the money out of that tomorrow? No, she said. Had to pay it now. Billing's comment was it was ONLY arranged for the cost of the injection procedure, not an office visit. I asked her if they couldn't work with me for one day and I would pay it. Nope. There was no cooperation, no understanding, no grace. I told her to remove me as a patient and left. Horrible way to treat a patient dealing with pain. The injections were SO painful to start with and they did not give me relief, so now I just have to deal with this pain until..... Pain Specialists of America in Waco only care about the money they make. It's pretty sad. They give you hope, but it's all a smokescreen.

Would a doctor or staff member enjoy this? Overbooking is practiced to enrich themselves and milk insurance. If this happens to you, send them a bill for your time.

Upon moving to Texas to accept a job as a tenure-track professor, with managed chronic pelvic pain…read morethat had already had 3 surgeries, I began seeing Dr. Jung when he was still in Waco. He literally killed me; according to my doctors when I had to move back north to be cared for, there were 3 decisions Jung made that should have been fatal: taking me off Benzos cold turkey, not testing for C-Diff but instead telling me I deserved the withdrawal and prescribing me Lomotil numerous times (cannot take with C-Diff and can cause brain damage with long-term use.) He also prescribed an anti-depressant. When I had C-Diff, apparently it did not absorb. I was highly suicidal. He told me to stop drug-grubbing and join a church--that maybe in the North mental health was available, but not in TX. This is all not to mention that he demeaned me and called me manipulative constantly, called me "anorexic" when I lost 10 pounds in a week due to C-Diff, decided to take me off vicodin and put me on Fentanyl?! **Since my last posting, I have ordered my medical notes. He was overtly malicious and called me a liar from day one. He continuously references that I am from the "north," and he also said my medical chart was probably illegitimate. He never called to check. It was legitimate. He does not know that I went into a coma in my house in 2016, and the police found me 4 days later. He does not know I fell and broke my leg because I cannot balance. He does not know I finally had a complete hysterectomy (via 2 surgeries) with a doctor from Harvard who equated my pain to that of a man being kicked in the testicles 24 hours a day. And he certainly doesn't know that by taking me abruptly off benzos out of spite, that instead of being the Chair of the Department at a college, I am now permanently disabled. The doctors believe the blow to my brain after several lifetime concussions, caused CTE. I will probably develop dimensia and Parkinson's then die in the next 10-15 years. My fiancé and I split because my cognitive and emotional life is erratic. My life was ruined because of Dr. Jung's cowboy-booted biases. Maybe others like him; but if you are a strong woman with a complicated issue, STEER CLEAR!
