I've been with Dr.W for many years now, until today, Thurs, 21st Nov 2024!
Dr. Weisbein has regressed once again to become the absolute epitome of rude, disrespectful, unprofessional talking over, non listening Doc I've ever had the displeasure of having charge over my pain care, but I refuse to be held captive by someone's mood swings, episodes, emotional trauma or whatever you would like to call it!
And yes, this is not the first time I've had the unfortunate experience with Dr.W, as this is a reoccurring issue, and the office knows it, it used to be a running joke in office, wonder which Dr.W you would get today?
If you know you know, if you don't, give it a while!
To think I believed in this, Dr. enough to let her perform multiple surgical device implants on me, along with many other injection procedures, and medication management.
I trusted her and had so much faith and hope this year that upon my return in Oct, she would remedy my leg and knee pain so that before I have my left knee replaced let her correct pain, prior to leaving she performed multiple mandated pre surgery test rounds of shots in low back and based on results when I return she will perform a minimal invasive surgical procedure involving fusion rods implated into my SI joint with her guaranteeing this was the problem and not the knee that had been misdiagnosed!
That was the agreed pain plan going forward as of March 2024 to perform the iFuse Implant System apon my Oct return to US!
Nov 2024, Dr. informed me her practice has changed and is changing. She wants to be more than an RX refill office and will no longer prescribe pain med to me as she had been for years at same doses, we both agreed on and was a conservative pain plan (This is the same doc that said if you need more for your pain she would put me on Methadone, no thanks)
Yet now without consultation, stoner Kim wants me to take Suboxone, then Dr. told me, if you don't like it, (as I said I don't want to take the detox drug, I've seen what it does to people like me)
Well, that's your choice, you can go elsewhere!,
Kim, give him a couple of doctors' names, then left. Seemed like a decision had already been made to no longer treat me!
(A little history, I've had 8 back surgerys, both shoulders operated on, right knee total relacement and 4 left leg surgeries to repair Tib/Fib break, along with smashed knee and ankle requiring Halo system with bolts and pins.
I've been in pain since my 1991 3 level lubar fusion with fixation rods, surgically implanted thru front and back of torso. Let's say that constant pain is all I know!
Thanks Doc, glad to hear your practice is changing, so much for a pain specialist or whatever she wants to call herself, Cybel comes to mind!
From the March plan of having her performing surgery once back into US, to basically f*?k off my practice is changing, I had no clue what i was walking into today, when I left for UK everything was great with the consultations, pre surgey 3 rounds of shots completed and agreed plan on moving forwad with SI joint surgery to combat constant pain I have to WTF!
Dr.W likes the passive aggressive approach when dealing with people less than her, so be prepared to be spoken AT, not too, and whoever speaks the loudest gets heard, along with talking as fast as she can at you, then drops a flash bang into room then walks out on you, effectively stunning you, with no response from you the patient as part of her protocol!
I would say yeah great people skills, as long as you enjoy being treated less than respectful, and just another daily Stat to be posted on how many #s can she run on a day! Top notch carpet bagger!
I brought the snake oil with the promises of pain relief she feed me for years and had such faith that she had finally found the problem/solution I felt betrayed by Dr.W AGAIN!
So if you would like to be told a story of hope and put faith in someone, that they can help with the nightmare of constant pain, just to be dropped on your ass because "things change" over last six month's, then shes the Dr for you!
Wouldn't mind after her shoulder surgery, she was a wreck, if you know, you know!
I'm too old and in too much pain every day to carry her bags of shit she likes to land on others, expecting patients to be ok with it, sorry lady been through to much shit in this life to take on yours!
