Well, I was referred by my OB/GYN as I have chronic back pain throughout my entire spine. My chiropractor stated I have spinal stenosis and scoliosis as well as bone spurs and a compressed disc.
My GYN was concerned about my pain and stated that a neurologist would be beneficial. BOEV clinic was a complete waste of my time and money.
First of all the PA was all dolled up and dressed to the nines. Which imho is a dead give away that she does not get her hands dirty and is only in this for the money, not for the patients. She did a neuro test on my....(i.e. look at my fingers, push against me in resistance, look up, look down) Then asked about my symptoms and looked at me as if I were full of it. Then stated that spinal stenosis cannot be seen or diagnosed via x-ray. As if to say I was lying or something of that nature. This really bothered me. I am just stating what the chiropractor said. She then was talking about how I should just do PT. After I told her I was doing PT exercises and it was making my pain worse when I have been doing PT for years and it never hurt before and now it is. She insisted on PT and looked at me as if I was lying and really not doing PT.
I then stated my frustration and I was sick of the pain. She then said, well we can give you cortisone shots or I can prescribe muscle relaxers. I just stared at her. She then stated she could do a nerve test on me then. That's when I said thank you. She still referred me to PT, which I am already doing. Then prescribed muscle relaxers, which turns out, she prescribed meds for arthritis pain that eats up your stomach.....(no thanks to any of it.) The nerve test she ordered to be done was for carpal tunnel. Seriously???? I don't want muscle relaxers, shots or another run around. What is really going on with me, why and what needs to be done about it outside of the box. Apparently, this is too much to ask, and apparently I am full of crap and my pain is not serious. Thanks BOEV, I will NEVER, EVER come back!!! I was told by my GYN that they should do an MRI to look into this further. Nothing was looked into further. Oh wait, yes....PT, and a nerve test for carpal tunnel..... smdh.
Further more, the waiting room has 3 chairs spaced apart and people coming in droves for appointments, nowhere to sit and everyone on top of one another. If you're in pain and want to sit, well....tough luck. This place is a joke. read more
