Pacific Pain Physicians, Santa Barbara CA

I hope the Pacific Pain Management can help me better than the one I've had to use for at least 2 years now. I'm never out of terrific pain. The last doctor I saw took me off of the med that worked the best for me because he is afraid of the FDA. This smart phone put my daughters name instead of mine. I'm Shirley Goss.

Quack, quack, quack. Minus 100 stars. THE worst experience EVER. Met him for all of 10 minutes. He never saw my MRIs, X-rays-Nerve tests-nothing. Been taking pain meds for 15 years after a car accident. Described how I wanted to plan to get off them eventually. So, within one month He takes me from 4x day to 2x a day. I have 2 torn shoulders that need surgery, L4-5 in by back destroyed, carpal tunnel, arthritis and a neck I can't turn to the left. Explained through very extensive emails I could not do this so fast-that I wanted the medical detox but needed time to plan to be off work and save money for it, arrange for my animals, etc. Told them I was running out of Percocet and was terrified. Six days and a dozen phone calls-no reply. Another two extensive emails. No reply. No return call-nothing. Finally was so angry I snarkily said to that rude secretary, Well, I guess my parents will know who to sue when I kill myself". Then? ! OH! Suddenly I get a return call from Hullander! But 30 minutes before the time I told that girl Jamie I'd be back home. His concern? My excruciating withdrawl that had already begun? How something was happening to my lungs and I could barely breathe? How I'm 55 and my heart was pounding out of my chest? How every cell in my body and mind were screaming for my medicine? My life, the terrible, crushing pain and emotional terror? Nah. He called to let me know he contacted his malpractice attorney. Been suffering unbearable withdrawl for 2 weeks. Couldn't go to work.could barely get to the kitchen without resting.can't pay my bills now and it still isn't over. And now I feel every injury like they just happened. Oh, and finally: the records he recorded from our visit, when recited back to me by Jamie? They were incorrect on several levels-he even wrote down the wrong medicine and dosage I was taking! Malpractice? You betcha.
