“Dr. Pradhan was easy to talk wit...”

Dr. Pradhan was easy to talk with, he was informative and engaged in discussion of my condition(s).

“From the moment the doctor enter...”

From the moment the doctor entered the room, he seemed to have already developed a plan and asked me miminial questions about my concerns that day. He did not do a physical exam, although I was clearly in pain and having trouble finding a comfortable position. He was unwilling to answer questions about what recommendations he had for pain control while I waited for my MRI and continually referred to seeing my primary care doctor for recommendations (despite this being his area of expertise). His approach was dismissive, demeaning, and belittling. I didn't expect to have my issue resolved during the visit but I had a reasonable expectation of empathy, listening, and having my questions answered. Following the visit I had the opportunity to discuss my concerns with a spine surgeon friend of mine who was surprised that I had not been examined and who was easily able to tell me the typical pain regimen for severe pain for my issue. I faced additional challenges in scheduling my MRI in a timely fashion. The order was not submitted as urgent and I had to call the office and my insurance company multiple times to rectify the situation. Furthermore, I had to pay for the MRI in advance to schedule it before my follow up appointment for potential intervention. I would recommend that Dr. Pradhan approach future patients with the care and respect he would afford his own family members. He made an already difficult situation worse and I will seek other specialists in the future.

“I love Dr. Pradhan he's very car...”

I love Dr. Pradhan he's very caring

“Doctor and staff very good. Faci...”

Doctor and staff very good. Facility was clean, but definitely in an old, rundown area. Doctor was very personable and upbeat.

“Good experience...”

Good experience

“The doctor did not describe the ...”

The doctor did not describe the drawbacks of the procedure he wanted to do. I have heard from lots of people the procedure is not a good one however the doctor did not explain anything of the drawbacks, meaning side effects or what to expect after. However the pamphlet provided explained that, however it did not say anything contrary. I have heard from several people the procedure in cementing the bones is worse than without doing it. However the doctor did not see anything about that nor does the paperwork provided explain that. When I explain to the doctor of this new pain that I was having he just made a guess as to what it was, without even asking where the pain was or any other questions concerning it. He made a guess as to what it was from.

“I would like to have been prescr...”

I would like to have been prescribed oral medication for the pain, but Dr. Pradhan stated that should be handled by my primary care physician.

“Dr Pradham listened and took his...”

Dr Pradham listened and took his time

“I highly recommend the doctor, w...”

I highly recommend the doctor, with a warning regarding the inconsiderate office staff

“The doctor was excellent on the ...”

The doctor was excellent on the topic on me recovering from a bone injury and potential care for a chronic condition, and empathetic an efficient on those topics but did not seem to understand my apprehensions regarding bone care for oseoporosis in context of preexisting sensitivities of medications, which is not just that doctor, but in general, but just as systemic as the medical sensitivity to electrolyte based medications, electrolyte channels, blockers etc. So the doctor was excellent on the topic of his expertise and I could not have asked for a better experience, but normal on the topic of my neurodivergency.
