Physiatrists who are Physicians - West Mifflin, PA

"After reading all of the bad reviews, I was very nervous to go here. But since my PCP was retiring and other doctors in the practice were not willing to take over my pain meds, I had little choice but to go where I was referred. I came to the first visit prepared with a huge binder containing all my previous records of tests and testimony of doctors from my SSD and WC cases, as well as a medical resume listing all my meds and supplements plus doctors/diagnosis and dates of last visit. I don't know if this is what made the difference, but my experience with this doctor has been positive. After asking a few questions about my history, he picked up where my PCP left off and even told me he's there to make things easier for me, not harder. His bedside manner might seem a bit abrupt, but it's typical of other doctors I've seen of European descent. It's a busy practice and my only concern is they don't even take your blood pressure or weigh you, which I always thought was standard practice. I know it's not pleasant having to get the drug screening tests and pill counts, but I don't take that personally. I know it's part of the Feds crack down and probably no fun for the practice either. This was the second time I saw this doctor (the first time was June of this year). "
