She still said that discs will not heal and I would need surgery. These folks only recommend drugs and surgery. Even the surgeon said that 80% of people with pinched nerves heal, but only after I said I wanted to delay surgery! I researched my problem and healed my back without surgery and without any help from any of the 3 clinics I visited. Healing frequencies, copper, peptides, nontraditional PT, inversion table and more. Learn about the Flexner report and how JP Morgan and Andrew Carnegie used a bogus report to convince congress to defund 80% of medical schools. You know, the ones that taught natural health and healing?!

I am looking at 4 different surgeries in the near future...I threw the cup to urinate in out..told them I would not be needing their services and left.

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 have been seeing Dr. Jack Lam with Rex Pain Management for just over a year. In 2017, I had…read morepost-op hernia pain that Dr Lam was treating by administering injections. At first, I doubted it would help at all, but by the third injection (3 months apart each) the pain is nearly nonexistent. Then, after a car accident mid-2018, I went back to see Dr Lam for spinal pain. I've only had one epidural with Dr Lam since then (Nov 2018), but his technique and results were phenomenal! Prior to seeing Dr Lam, I had previously been seen by Duke Pain and was prescribed extremely high doses of pain medication for a pre-existing condition and it took months to wean off all the opiates. (I purposely chose to wean off the opiates as the long term use kept life from being enjoyable. Life just becomes numb.) I was worried that Dr Lam would just write for more pills and send me on my way, but this is not his philosophy. He is conservative in his treatment algorithms, yet remains thorough, thoughtful and *gasp* he actually listens to his patients. Dr Lam treated me like an individual patient with unique needs, not just throwing the same treatments at each patient. I was most appreciative of the fact that he recommended several options for helping to manage my pain without writing a prescription for opiates. This is how medicine should be routinely practiced! Also, staff is always polite, professional and is respectful of my time when I've visited the office for appointments or procedures. If you want a pain management provider that will look you in the eye while you're speaking, will actively listen to your concerns and needs, and is highly experienced with providing conservative, yet effective, treatments for your pain, please consider making an appointment with Dr Lam. He's worth every minute of your time to meet him and see if he can help you, too.

I've already talked to neurologist. I've already talked to other providers. this place is totally unprofessional. I don't know what happened. They used to be very good but this Dr. Shaw I'm sorry but I don't want anything to do with him.

I was dismissed as a patient for calling out my nurse practitioner, Jessica Bustos, for not…read moreupholding her Hippocratic oath. 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. Jessica Bustos refused to meet with me in person to discuss my concerns. This is truly shameful.

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.
