However, I…read moretried making a new patient appointment and was refused because I will not give out my social security number. I am a self-pay patient which has never been an issue anywhere else as payment is usually taken at check-in. I have had my identity stolen in the past and explained this and they refuse to schedule without my social. I think this just shows how their main concern is the ability to send someone to collections. That can be avoided by collecting the payment up front like every other specialist I have seen as a self-pay patient.

I wish I had read his reviews before my mother was referred to him for a serious knee and leg…read moreproblem. She has been in excruciating pain for nearly a month and first saw him a couple of weeks ago. At that visit, he prescribed pain medication and sent her home without determining what was causing the pain. Because her condition continued to worsen, she moved up her follow-up appointment and saw him again today. He finally ordered an MRI, but she now has to wait another two weeks. I don't understand why the MRI wasn't ordered at the first appointment--it could always have been canceled if her condition improved. His bedside manner was also extremely disappointing. He admitted that he did not know what was causing her leg pain, refused to prescribe anything further to help manage the pain--even though she has been unable to sleep--and then abruptly walked out while she was sitting there crying. Watching my mother suffer while feeling dismissed and receiving no meaningful answers or relief was incredibly upsetting.

My Dr. Moynihan was great, I even got his autograph ( on my knee).Anthony after surgery was amazing with post op care. Had me up and moving in no time and helped explain my care when home to my Hubble and myself, which I don't remember most of it. That would be a great reason so have your person there to get it.

I recently survived a car wreck but my spinal column was injured. A Specialist Doctor here reviewed…read moremy MRI raw data, somewhat described my injuries to me, suggested an intense course of steroids to reduce inflammation, to be followed up with Physical Therapy and Chiropractic. The doctor also prescribed a muscle relaxer, but they do not write ANY prescriptions for pain medication. They only refer patients to a Pain Management Clinic. It's a Florida thing. Paying out-of-pocket, the office visit was only $120. I thought that was very reasonable - until I discovered it's for 15 minutes of the doctor's time. He couldn't interview me about my signs and symptoms, review my MRI, and discuss treatment options with me in 15 minutes! After waiting 3 weeks for this appointment, I would have gladly paid $240 to get 30 minutes of the doctor's time. You better make sure your medical records and MRI's get here before your appointment, and then talk fast! We never got to discuss my specific Physical Therapy needs at all, but they did give me the business cards for 3 PT clinics. And I will be receiving some prescriptions to reduce inflammation in my spine. I am rating 5-stars because WCMI certainly knows what they are doing, but visits are somewhat rushed and overlapping. Be prepared and you should be okay. -------------------------------------------------- Updates: #1. The steroid treatment they gave me has been a Godsend. That's why they get 5-stars. They are good doctors and caring doctors. #2. I spoke with the Administrator and we agreed to disagree. He doesn't want any patients to feel rushed, but they do schedule 15 minute appointments. That is standard for most doctors in the US.

I find all the doctors there to be pretty good at their job. There's one that I will not see and that would be Dr. Bennett because of a past experience years ago.
