Anesthesiologists - Napa, CA

"I have been seeing Dr. Lucas Campos for over a year for my chronic thoracic spine pain. During this time he has blatantly lied to me about my treatment options. I have been on the same medication, dosage, and strength for a year. When asked to titrate my medication due to extended tolerance he started lying as to why he could not change my medication. First there was a new FDA regulation stating unless I had a new or worsening condition, when asked for the regulation/documentation he said it wasn't so much a regulation but a magazine article that he couldn't recall which. Then it was a freeze on all his prescription abilities, then all his medication changes had to be approved by the IPM board and if he could he would change my medication, but they wouldn't let him. His negligence caused to have to disenroll from a Doctorate of Pharmacy program due to uncontrolled/unmanaged pain. The stress caused hospitalization for GI bleeding requiring multiple blood transfusions and ulcer cauterization. Grinding my teeth so severely leaving halos through the enamel and stress fractures. I have been waiting on a procedure for over a year to find out that he wasn't putting in requests for authorization till months after he said he had. He told me the procedure had been approved by insurance but he had forgotten to include authorization for the test needed to do procedure. After contacting insurance to find out it was denied due to being an unproven treatment for thoracic spine pain, and he still had not put in for the test two months after he told me he had. After confronting him about his deception all he could say was sorry and offered less potent medications that I had already been on that we had already talked about and medications for nerve pain which I don't have. He doesn't pay attention to my medical history, care about how his negligence affects me physically, mentally, or my livelihood, never asks about my pain level or characteristics, but above all else lies to his patients!"
