Physiatry

3215 Gateway Boulevard W, El Paso, TX

Dr. David Durussel, who practices in El Paso, TX, is a medical specialist in physiatry (physical medicine & rehabilitation). He studied at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.

"This is probably the absolute worst pain management doctor in the area. I just moved to El Paso from Florida and brought my medical records to show him that I have been on the same medication since 2012. The Doctor refused to prescribe my medication which is why I made the appointment. They charged me $450 because I didn’t have insurance and the Doctor flat out said that I was on “too much” medication and refused to continue my regimen which I have been on since 2012. I was on Percocet & Xanax and he ordered Neurontin. I would not waste my energy, time nor money on this Doctor because he is rude, uncaring and basically doesn’t have any empathy for his chronic pain patients. I suffered so much that I ended up flying back to Florida and obtain my scripts and came back to El Paso. I attempted to get a refund since the services I requested were not fulfilled and they refused. I would not recommend this Doctor on my worst enemy. "

What is Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation?

The specialty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) is not one that many people are immediately familiar with, yet it is one that serves thousands of people every year. Also known as Physiatry, it is sometimes simply referred to as Rehabilitation or Rehab. This specialty focuses on restoring quality of life for patients who are experiencing physical pain or loss of function after a traumatic illness or injury. After major surgery, a car accident, a long illness such as cancer, or a major change to the body (such as the loss of a limb), it is the PM&R physicians who help patients begin to feel better and put the pieces of their life back together again.

PM&R physicians work with patients who have been disabled by pain or the loss of motion or cognition, and they find ways to restore function. They may consult with other physicians such as neurologists, orthopedists, physical therapists, or psychiatrists. PM&R specialists treat the whole person, not specific symptoms or illnesses, and their goal is to help patients lead active and able lives.

One example of services performed by a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician is teaching a patient who just had a leg amputated how to get around the house, use the bathroom, bathe, and care for themselves. A different example might be helping a patient learn how to walk again after a traumatic brain injury. Because there are so many different causes of pain and disability, the list of services provided by PM&R physicians is nearly endless. Generally, services that are provided by a PM&R specialist can fall into one of the following care categories:

Self-care skills (bathing, grooming)
Physical care (feeding, taking medication)
Mobility
Respiratory care (ventilator care, exercises for lung function)
Communication
Cognitive skills (memory, problem solving)
Vocational training
Pain management
Psychological counseling (adapting to a disability)

Because there are so many options, it can be a very creative specialty. When accidents, pain, or illness cause disability, it is the physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists who are there to give patients their life back.
