If there were some way to give a physician a MINUS 5 star review Dr. Saud Siddiqui & the Dublin Pain Clinic would definitely deserve that & less! I had been a regular patient of Dr. Saud Siddiqui in good standing of over 5 years until Tuesday, 3/10/2015. Tuesday I showed up for my appointment and as I was checking in, without any previous indications at all, I am told the doctor will no longer be seeing me in the future... PERIOD! When I ask why I was told this now, without any warning, I was told bc they no longer accept my insurance. I offered to pay out of pocket, as in cash and the doctors assistant"s" huddle like the lead defensive end, right & left tackle players of the NFL to tell me "we don't accept cash payments!" First of all, I've been seeing this doctor longer than any of these three have worked for him & I have personally witnessed this doctor's staff asking for & receiving cash payments of other patients repeatedly over the last five years... THAT DOG WON'T HUNT!! My family doctor referred me to Dr. Siddiqui 5 years ago after my spinal bifida was making my day to day life miserable due to complications from end-stage renal disease after 7 operating procedures in less than 2 years. This doctor, heck any doctor, can look at me & see my final chapter is ready for publication... I know everyone's turn is over eventually, I was just asking not to be in constant pain. I've never demanded any type of special treatment or drugs. I've never missed an appointment with any doctor, if I'm conscious & not hospitalized I don't stand anyone up. I'm 4'8" and weigh-in under a buck ten, walk with a walker, teach Sunday school & try to only leave smiles behind me... I'm not a junky or threat to anyone. The doctor himself would not speak to me personally & they had no reason to give me other than the previously mentioned insurance issue. When I reminded them I had been a patient of over 5 years, no history of misconduct of any sort nor had I ever complained to them or against them... even when they had missed me being there & took over 10 hours to see me once, forgot to sign my Rx's & I had to go all the way back to them + set for over 3 hours waiting for the doctor to sign the already written Rx's & even when the staff gave me an appointment card with one time on it & wrote a different time on their schedule and I had to reschedule instead of them making their mistake right... I never once complained. I just figure stuff happens, but this time a RESPONSIBLE reason would've seemed more appropriate. When I ask what the real justification was behind this mistreatment & gross medical misconduct of professional neglect was actually about they had no answers. The entire scene played out like an interrogator grilling Scar-Face and I am not even with a law enforcement agency! Nevertheless, I would not only strongly recommend staying away from Dublin Pain Clinic but, in addition, please try to avoid Dr. Saud Siddiqui at all cost unless you are all in to S&M at any price! read more
