I really liked the doctor, which I'm not going to Name, very knowledgeable and great personality. Where things went wrong, went in for a C7 injection to treat a bulging disc, procedure seem to go normally, however, within 24 hours, I was dealing with a Dural puncture. Horrendous headache, dizziness, ears, muffled, all which were worse when sitting or standing. I understand there are risks associated with this type of procedure; however,, when I received a phone call from WAKE spine and told them of my symptoms, they were telling me that I must have a sinus infection. This was a nurse practitioner who had just reviewed my symptoms with the doctor on call and this is what they came up with. The fact that they had no idea that classic symptoms of a CSF leak is muffled ears or ringing in the ears, excruciating positional headache, dizziness, nausea, etc baffles me! I'm now on day six and feel like I am healing finally, but I could not with a good conscience recommend this clinic.

I was a patient here for 3 years when they suddenly started drug-testing me at every single…read moreappointment. After the third time, I asked why and was told, "We test all psychiatric patients monthly." I was flabbergasted. WHAT??! He repeated it's standard practice and "for your 'protection'." (???) I am not, nor have I ever been, a psych patient and am not mentally ill. He smiled and said he didn't say I was mentally ill, but "you are currently in counseling for depression and it's our policy." I don't see ANY other kind of doctor except my regular GP once a year. He tilted his head, gave a condescending smile, and said my file showed I'm being treated for depression by a Dr. Mary Something! I'm not depressed and have never heard of this doctor. He got more condrscending and repeated it was in my file to everything I said. I was very careful to be polite and not shout. There's a mistake somewhere - probably a misfiling. I asked him to PLEASE call that doctor, because they'll verify they've never heard of me, either. He said he "didn't need to" because it was in my patient file and his office doesn't make mistakes like that. I begged him to PLEASE do a complete search of my medical records (isn't every piece of health history online now?!). Please call and I'll fill out a HIPPA release form right now. He made a very pained face and said he'd ask, but didn't think the office would do it. I reminded him this is a serious mistake that could affect treatment I get from other doctors or my ability to get jobs. I thanked him for asking medical records and said okay, let's do this drug-test and screening bullshit until your office verifies with the psych doc and removes the error. He gave me his usual polite farewell and said he'd see me next month. The office scheduled my next appointment and faxed my script. When I picked up my RX there were only 7 pills! I called the office and was told it was correct - a "weaning off" dose is all they give discharged patients. WHAT??? The person on the other end delivered a lecture about refusing to take drug tests (which, again, I DID), lying about my medical history and "being abusive" to the doctor. I was stunned! I explained the situation (kept interrupting with "it's in your file, ma'am") and claimed I "cussed out" my doctor. (The single bullshit, I guess) I pointed out I'm a severe chronic pain patient. She said "this is what happens when you 'disrespect' us." in a very smug tone. I spoke to the director and got the same. How much trouble is it to make a phone call? I was not only wrongfully discharged; they decided to get even by refusing me a month's worth of meds while I found a new doc. All over their mistake. It took over a month to get an appointment for a new pain clinic. I spent days in bed, curled up in agony, at times praying to just please let me die. How can doctors who vow to do no harm do this to another human being? How can a records clerk be too dishonest and self-centered to admit to a filing error? As if all this weren't enough, they told the new clinic I lie about my medical history, am verbally abusive etc etc. I had to explain all over again and ask them to please call whatever practice Wake Spine & Pain thinks I see. Now I never go to medical appointments alone because of what Wake Spine & Pain did. I want a witness. No matter how long you've been a cooperative patient, you won't be believed. If Wake Spine & Pain makes a mistake, you're helpless, because they never make them. If you want professional, caring treatment, NEVER come here!

I spent thousands of dollars on recommended tests and they could not find anything "wrong" so I was treated like I was just making things up. They implied that I was just going there to try and get opioids, which I never asked for or even wanted.On my last visit, I had less than 5 minutes with the doctor, and he basically told me there's nothing anyone can do, and gave me a paper recommending me to watch a documentary about losing weight and said that might motivate me to be healthier. He acted like if I lost weight it would fix all my problems. I asked him why he was telling me this, as I was a normal weight when I started having extreme pain, and not being able to move around caused me to gain weight. He basically told me to just try it because he didn't have any other suggestions. I felt very blown off, and even if he couldn't help me, he could have said it in a much better way and without implying losing weight would fix all my issues. Once I went to a different practice, they did find out what was wrong with me and give me a treatment plan that actually helped. I felt extremely disrespected and blown off by this practice and would not recommend it to anyone.

After I had major surgery involving an implant swap (which felt like undergoing a mastectomy all over again), she allowed several days to pass before properly medicating me, despite my numerous attempts to request dosage adjustments for my pain. Her staff informed me that I was not allowed to take more medication, even though I was suffering from severe surgical pain in addition to my usual pain. Furthermore, she accused me of being an addict and abusing medication due to my history of being on Suboxone. I have NEVER abused my medications. I requested to be placed on Suboxone in an effort to try a different approach; I was NOT put on it because I was an addict. As the saying goes, "Assumptions make an ass out of you and me." Shame on Jessica Bustos and the staff at Solas Health. It's disheartening that I now have to write to the medical board due to the mistreatment I experienced.

I can't tell you how many times I have shown up there for an appointment and my medication was not there after taking off work and had to reschedule just to take off work again. My appointment was today so I took off work and I had gotten into a minor fender bender but regardless, I was only going to be two minutes late the 15 minute grace.. I called extremely rude lady at the front desk (first time I've ever seen her) told me I have the 15 minutes and that's it. I want 100 on the highway trying to get there. I called her again and told her I will be one minute late. I showed up at 5:51. She looked dead in the face and said the doctor told me you have to reschedule. This is a medication you're not supposed to miss. I'm absolutely disgusted with these people. Never again. not to mention the last time I had an appointment once again. My medication was not there so they decided to give me somebody else's medication who didn't show up. Completely out of control.
