This pain management doctor is a scam and if you truly suffer from pain and are on a certain regiment that you are happy with and works then don't come here and speak with Dr Duong.. regardless of how much irrefutable documentation and proof of having a vast amount of surgeries and have tried every type of remedy possible he will still manage to mess your life and well being up for absolutely no reason. It seems his self renound experience a doctor has made him a very cocky person and also judgmental. When patients rely on doctors to make their life easier and they end up making it way harder that is why it is so hard to find a good understanding doctor which took me years and unfortunately I am unable to see her anymore due to insurance requirements.
I have had 35 orthopedic surgeries in my life and also a right eye enucleation last December. I have brutal orthopedic pain almost in every section of my body. I've spent a total of 22 months in the hospital over different and difficult hospital stints for certain injuries. Well my last bad wreck was July 9th 2020.. I was riding my motorcycle and taken off the road by a person on their phone and in the canyons in the mountains to make it worse. I slid into the guardrail at 70mph and that's when I ended up shattering my left femur , breaking all of the ribs on my left side , cracking my chest plate four inches down starting at the sternum , broken left shin and shattered right foot. Severe road rash on both arms , severe spinal decompression and damage to my L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and T1, T2 and T3 which still have inoperable hernias on multiple disks in my back. My first accident was in 2007 when I was also taken out crossing an intersection on my bike and someone ran the light and took me out .. that accident resulted in 55 fractures in both hands shattering my hands and breaking my right leg. I've suffered through so much that's the last thing I want anymore. I am tired of being in pain. Tried all the muscle nerve machines , muscle manipulation, cortisone injections and nerve blocks. Even though pain medication wasn't what I desired living with it was the most positive pain relief I've had and to finally get a regiment that worked for me the last year then why switch me off ? Simply because I'm a little different than most people you meet don't downplay my pain and my injuries I've endured. It's very disappointing because I paid $250 out of pocket only to get screwed by the doctor and the feeling I had inside me literally was thinking of being in pain again and the suffering that was going to be coming up. It's a travesty when you try to live your life and just want to be happy and that changes when someone whose arrogance matches his attitude enters under false pretenses.
Once Dr Duong walked into the exam room I can tell by his facial expression and eyes that he was judging me based off my looks. He asked me where I hurt at and I tried explaining all of my surgeries and areas of constant pain and not even after a minute of talking he cut me off started shaking his and says I don't feel comfortable writing you this prescription and denied me my medication that is the same medication I've been using for over a year that took me about two years of different remedies and amounts to find the perfect solution to my problem. But I guess to him he could care less if he affects your life with his decisions and whatever he think is right. Try listening to your patients ... I had a new job I was supposed to go to but due to the change in my medication I am barely able to get out of bed. My whole world feels like it's been flipped upside down. Not only that , due to the amount that he cut from my regiment I had severe withdrawals the first two days and ended up in the ER due to him. When he could've came up with a regiment and actually try as a doctor he didn't and he ended up screwing me over and affecting my daily life and also lost that job due to being at hospital in severe pain and in the hospital. Anyone that genuinely needs help , stay away I promise you it'll do you better. This doctor is a disgrace to doctors that want to "help people" read more
