David Sudderth, MD, Fort Myers FL

Talks down to patients. I leave his office in tears every time have to go. Treats me like I am dumb because I can not remember things which is one of the reasons I need a neurologist. I live with headaches and have a hard time in general and I cringe every time I think of having to endure his rudeness.

I had a worker's comp claim. I was feeling better with physical therapy. Doc advised I end treament and close my claim and they I would get some payment from the WC.which I knew nothing about. Well turns out it's a permanent injury, I didn't know this and he never told me this. I closed my claim, they paid me about 2 pay checks and now I'm in trouble. I have back pain every min of the day, can't sleep and the doc won't even talk to me because my claim is closed. I would have never closed it if he would have explained this would be permanent. I feel duped and don't have a recourse. I saw Dr. Sudderth. I thought he was a nice guy. Smh.

Listed as a provider with my insurance company. Called for an appointment and was told they don’t take insurance, they only work with personal injury attorney cases. The girl was very abrupt and spoke down to me. A few days later, my friend had an appointment and personally asked the doctor if he would be able to help me. He told her he would and I needed to call the office. The doctor and the nurse were shocked the girl on the phone wouldn’t make the appointment for me.

I called again I got the same receptionist. She was rude to me, again. I explained the situation. A few hours later, she called me to tell me they only take PI cases or workers compensation. They need to remove themselves from the BCBS list of doctors if they are not going to accept patients. I don’t know how they only accept you if you are trying to sue someone. You would think a doctor would want to help patients, all patients.
