The past 6 months he has put us thru financial and physical hell. No break thru meds. Labeled my wife an addict. Emergency staff tells you dig into your own tool box, we aren't doing anything for you. He's hell bent on pain pumps since it takes significantly less medicine to achieve pain relief. They can't even prescribe pills properly and his idea is to make a wider margin for errors. Asked them to fix pain meds so wife can sleep then was told change my lifestyle & sleep on the couch.

After my first visit I find that Dr El-Muhandes is friendly, knowledgable and makes you part of your own treatment, encouraging input while presenting options. You do have to agree not to get pain meds elsewhere and submit to drug screens as with any doctor prescribing opiates but he is sensitive about your pain and willing to prescribe the necessary meds. He preforms many procedures right in his office. My impression is that he is very good at what he does while having a great bedside manner.

This practice is un-professional and adversarial. They require pain Contracts?, expensive drug screenings. They use any excuse to force you into a compliance program that requires multiple monthly visits and even more expensive drug screenings. This practice only cares about the money from you and your insurance company. I have filed an insurance fraud complaint against them because they forced me into this Compliance program and are now refusing to give me the medication that I need!
