I cannot recommend Dr. Luke V. Rigolosi under any circumstances. Despite my clear history of herniated discs and spinal stenosis, he repeatedly dismissed my concerns and told me that an MRI would be "a waste of time", ignoring standard medical recommendations to monitor spinal progression every few years.
He referred me to a chiropractor, which is contraindicated for herniated discs and spinal stenosis and could worsen my condition, rather than providing evidence-based guidance such as a referral to a spine specialist, pain management, or physical therapy.
Even more shockingly, he stated that I would have to "continue spending a thousand dollars going to the ER every time I have a flare-up." This is not only callous and cruel, but demonstrates a complete disregard for patient safety, financial burden, and ethical medical practice.
Dr. Rigolosi is opinion-driven, dismissive, and dangerously negligent. If you have any spine issues, seek care elsewhere from someone who follows evidence-based guidelines, listens to patients, and prioritizes safety. read more
