Let me start out with what kind of company you are choosing. They are horrible to their staff. They play favoritism and hide behind their management company DXTX. Dr. Gheith is part of that management company. He is high on the board. So he profits off it all and is motivated to inconvenience his patients all for a dollar. The Surgery Center they want you to go to for injections is profit shared by the providers. So they make more money by making you go there. They have been doing most of these injections in office for several years. Now for your safety it needs to be done where we can make more money. Also most other pain management doctors will do most of these injections in office. Dr. Gheith and Mindy do injections in the Festus office. Also some providers do them in the Chesterfield office. It depends on the day of the week(constantly changing their mind and rules) and who you are if they will do your injection in office. Also if you are a previous patient and are close to being considered a new patient (haven't been seen in 3 years), they will push you off for weeks or a couple months so they can bill you for a new patient visit. They say patient care comes first but only if they can make money from it. I can go on and on about how they treat their patients and their employees but it would do no good. I just hope the patients consider this before choosing this practice. The office manager is a joke and has no clue how to be professional. She is rude to the patients and they get complaints constantly about her. She will talk with employees about other employees. She will point out your mistakes in front of the whole office and patients. She also will fire you in front of other employees. So for your sake I would avoid this practice because they only care about themselves and money. Employees are treated by how they like you. I was not liked at all because I tried standing up for myself and the patient's. That put the biggest target on my back. The company supplied t-shirts, jackets, celebrated birthdays with lunches, bought a cow and divided the meat between every employee at all locations. I was not included in ANY of it at all. They purposely left me out time and time again. I was still supposed to show up and kiss their butt. They also did a company incentive program which is supposed to recognize hard work. It was all about recognizing the same people over and over again. No matter how hard I worked, how late I stayed, all the projects I was given, how I took care of the whole office for almost 3 years, and how I dedicated myself to that toxic environment it never got recognized. The countess lunches I COULDNT take because they wouldn't send someone out with me to cover. There were times it was my choice not to take one because I needed to get caught up. They never once asked me why I didn't smile anymore. They never once asked me why I became distant. The truth of the matter is I stayed for the patients because they need someone to be their voice. Not everyone is made of money and can fork out $600-800 for an injection when it can be done in most offices for a couple hundred read more
