Unfortunately this was an awful experience although I had heard good things about Orthopedic Associates. I went for bilateral shoulder pain but also was experiencing leg pain. Dr. Pillai asked the minimal amount of questions for a history and disregarded any information I had written on the admission form that was not JUST SHOULDER RELATED. She performed a basic 5 range of motion tests but never even palpated or touched my shoulders in any way.
A set of 3 ex rays per shoulder were done and they are not computerized so the old fashioned film kind. The ex ray tech was attentive and seemed to do a great job, however the quality of the ex rays was extremely poor, this being either old chemicals or old film used (my own medical office had ex ray onsite so I recognize a poor ex ray when I see one).
When I asked if there could be any connection between my leg and shoulder pain Dr. Pillai in no uncertain terms told me SHE JUST DOES SHOULDERS! I was dumbfounded.
This office obviously separates their patients into knees, shoulders, back etc., and does not let any doctor discuss anything but your single complaint! DOCTORS WHO DON'T TAKE A PATIENTS ENTIRE HISTORY INTO ACCOUNT??? SHAMEFUL.
I was given the rote treatment - a prescription of anti-inflammatory meds and a scrip for PT.
Would I go back there? Never. Would I recommend Dr. Pillai - never. And if she is any indication of how the practice is run you will not want to go there either. I never felt such disinterest during an initial exam in my life. Completely robotic.
