I was treated very poorly by ""Dr.K"". My primary doctor sent me to him and on the first appointment he agreed to take over my medications to help adjust and to get my conditions under control at the same time. He made fun of another pain clinic in St.Cloud that also travels to Alexandria that I had seen and even went as far as to tell me to turn them in for recommendations that my primary doctor had suggested of them. Then he even went as far as to tell me my primary doctor had to follow him around for getting in trouble by the medical board. He had gotten in trouble for dispensing narcotics. He then said he no longer gets referrals from the facility and took it personally. On my second visit I saw the PA and again tried to explain the majority of my pain is my shoulders, neck and arms. They had done an MRI of my spine show severe issues in my neck but started working on my lower back first. Even after asking me to split it out of 100 I stated 80 neck shoulders and arms and 20 lower back. They would not fill meds saying I would be back prior to needing them. Of coarse this didn't happen. My primary was very hesitant because they thought he took them over so I got enough for two days until I could see him. When he walked in the room he had an attitude. He was rude from the beginning. When I asked about who is supposed to fill meds he told me it wasn't his job to follow me around. I told him I had made an appointment with a surgeon that I know and trust and he again degraded him and suggested I shop around after all you don't buy the first car you buy. This man was nothing but pompous. If you want to do everything his exact way he may be your man. But, if for any reason you may question something he will treat you like a second class citizen. I have had multiple reactions to shots in my neck, and at the dentist every single time. I'm not keen on putting one In my spinal canal of my neck. He said that general practitioners are not the same as he is. Might be true, but it happens at the dentist too and I ended up with 6 mg Ativan IV, a locked jaw and breathing at 60 times a minute. Also high blood pressure and pulse. I ask you would you want to risk that? Does he have a set up to save my life if it happened? I doubt it. I'd be dead before I made it to the hospital. No thank you. This man thinks he's god. There is only one of those! He comes no where close to that! If you are looking for a pain clinic to help you out go to a different one. Since I have been to this guy, I've had many physicians, and surgeons tell me they will not refer to him. Now I know exactly why. Save your time and money and find someone that cares more about you then his own ego!
