I view this is refusal of access to care. I loved Dr. Wong, his bedside manner, and his procedural techniques. I am a R.an. And have worked in pain management with many physicians and he is one of the best ever. His staff, however, are just the rudest, nastiest people ever. I sent so many patients to that practice because of Dr. Wong's reputation. Now I question his attitude. The fact that he would not speak with me by phone or in person is preposterous. I am very disappointed in him for not having the consideration to even speak with me. I worked 47 years as a nurse and with many personalities but must say that this practice attitudes is beyond appropriate. Had I ever treated a patient as I was treated and others say the same; I would have been relieved of my position. Pain management is a racket. They treat people any way they please because the bottom line is the almighty dollar with them. They have no empathy or compassion for people in pain. You spend maximum 4-5 minutes every visit unless you are having a procedure and even that time is cut short. It is like herding cattle and quite frankly, cattle are probably treated better. The reason for my dismissal was not because I broke the rules but because the Nurse Practitioner was having a bad day. She was not accurate in my medical records but documented in a manner to get me out of the practice because she has been rude to me every visit since I started seeing them over 2 years ago. It bothers her that I too am a nurse and have the same knowledge as she. She is a control person and thinks her knowledge is superior to everyone else's. And wait time is another issue... if you are 3 minutes late she will cancel you but if you have to wait up to an hour for her, that is perfectly ok. It was a brilliant group of medical people who invented the Pain Management Specialty. They certainly secured their jobs forever. My question is what about the VICTIM(patient)? I use the term VICTIM because no one person should have the control they have. Yes, there are addicts and drug seekers but they are eventually weeded out. The people who truly need pain management must suffer because of those who are just seeking drugs. It is very disconcerting. I am finished venting and I would not recommend them because pain relief and caring for people really are not their mission. The main mission is the bottom line $$$$$$.

My experience has been like this: The doctor and P.A. I've seen are cordial but cold, and they…read moreoffer little in the bedside manner department. The office staff and medical assistants are lukewarm (and at times, borderline incompetent). Sometimes, there's a sense of thinly veiled hostility underneath the surface, as if they all hold you in contempt. I've only encountered one person in the whole office who I can say has always been genuinely friendly instead of detached, like everyone else seems to be. As far as the appointments themselves: The first visit, they'll take their time with you and act as though you're important; every subsequent visit, you'll feel rushed, like they have more important things to do (unfortunately, this is common with many types of doctors these days, but it doesn't mean that it's right). Word of advice, the "rushed" feeling is far worse with the doctor than the P.A.. I call my visits with the doctor, "drive-bys." They all (the entire office) need to work on their LISTENING SKILLS; they cut you off in mid-sentence and seldom allow you to complete a thought, and you'll find yourself repeating the same things over and over every visit (reading a chart before-hand obviously takes too much time). I've been told one thing on one appointment, then a completely different thing on another appointment (if you do decide to go here, a word of advice: take someone with you so you don't think you're going crazy when this happens). You'd think that compassion would be a high-priority for a pain management practice, but not here (I've seen very little since becoming a patient). Also, I think it's important for a medical professional to get to know you as well as they possibly can because everyone's perception of pain and how they deal with that pain is different, but SMART can't even be bothered to associate your face with your name (also common nowadays, I know, but you deserve better). However, they have no problem whatsoever with fleecing both you and your insurance company under the guise of treating that pain. Yes, you will be billed (and billed and billed and billed). You know how sometimes you walk into a medical establishment and you can just tell that they're in it for the patient? And how other times you walk into a medical establishment and you can just tell that they're in it for the money? This establishment is an example of the latter. I thought that pain management would be wonderful, that I'd finally have someone in the medical profession who cares and sympathizes with my chronic pain and who'd help me deal with it comfortably; I was so wrong. It's unfortunate that there aren't many other pain doctors in my area, but you'd better believe that as soon as I find one, I'll be a FORMER patient.
