I
had
an
incredibly
disappointing
and
unprofessional
experience
during
my
visit
at
CHOICE
Pain
&
Rehabilitation
Center
on
Reisterstown
Rd.
in
Baltimore
MD,
with
the
CRNP,
Murray
Obanye.
I
arrived
with
high
hopes,
carrying
over
150
pages
of
extensive
medical
records,
including
diagnostic
tests,
previous
doctor
diagnoses,
MRI's,
CT
scans,
ultrasounds,
X-rays,
medication
histories,
and
more.
To
begin
with,
this
doctor
failed
to
show
any
genuine
concern
or
professionalism.
He
didn't
even
bother
to
take
a
cursory
glance
at
the
extensive
medical
documentation
I
had
brought
with
me
(which
I
had
to
PAY
to
get
from
all
of
my
previous
doctors
&
specialist).
Instead,
he
immediately
judged
me
based
on
my
appearance
(I
have
tattoos)
and
age,
and
proceeded
to
dismiss
me
and
my
condition,
which
is
anything
but
trivial,
and
suggested
that
I
seek
another
doctor
who
might
be
"more
willing
to
prescribe
pain
management
medication."
To
make
matters
worse,
he
didn't
take
my
situation
seriously
at
all
and
cut
me
off
mid-
explanation
to
then
suggested
that
"I
get
an
inhaler
for
my
chest
pain
from
my
primary
care
physician
instead
of
seeking
pain
management".
Had
he
taken
the
time
to
review
ANY
of
my
medical
records,
he
would
have
realized
the
severity
of
my
condition.
My
records
clearly
show
the
presence
of
masses
and
tumors
in
my
chest,
which
should
not
be
addressed
with
a
mere
inhaler.
Furthermore,
the
doctor's
lack
of
assessment
of
the
portion
of
my
records
that
showed
my
medication
history,
was
completely
off
base.
I
was
not
seeking
medication
as
a
first
resort;
in
fact,
I
had
previously
explored
nonconventional
treatments
under
the
guidance
of
my
previous
pain
management
specialist
while
living
in
CA.
My
move
to
a
new
area
prompted
my
search
for
a
new
doctor,
NOT
an
eagerness
for
prescription
drugs....
Perhaps
the
most
disheartening
part
of
the
appointment
was
when
the
Dr.
openly
LAUGHED
at
me
and
at
my
situation.
This
unprofessional
behavior
was
not
only
hurtful
but
also
extremely
unbecoming
of
someone
who
calls
themselves
a
"medical
professional".
While
I
was
in
the
middle
of
trying
to
explain
to
him
of
my
condition
to
the
best
of
my
ability,
the
doctor
walked
out
of
the
room,
and
returned
about
10
minutes
later
and
handed
me
a
printout
of
another
pain
management
specialist
and
casually
suggested
that
I
might
have
better
luck
getting
prescribed
something
there.
This
complete
lack
of
empathy,
understanding,
and
professionalism
was
disheartening
and
disappointing.
Medical
conditions
can
affect
anyone,
regardless
of
age,
appearance,
race,
or
sexual
orientation.
Patients
should
not
face
preconceived
biases.
This
experience
highlights
the
importance
of
consistent
professionalism
and
ethics
in
healthcare,
treating
all
patients
with
respect
regardless
of
their
appearance.
Not
to
mention,
I
was
charged
$170.00
for
my
initial
appointment
regardless
of
the
fact
that
they
conducted
ZERO
test
and
the
doctor
gave
me
MAYBE
2
minutes
of
his
time,
after
I
waited
for
over
an
hour
to
be
seen
by
the
CRNP,
Murray
Obanye.
I
STRONGLY
advise
for
ANYONE
who's
seeking
genuine
medical
care
to
really
think
twice
before
considering
this
doctor,
and
I'd
recommend
avoiding
CHOICE
Pain
&
Rehabilitation
Center's
together
as
a
whole.
My
experience
was
nothing
short
of
a
nightmare,
and
I
hope
that
my
review
helps
others
avoid
the
same
ordeal.
I
am
now
being
seen
and
treated
by
Greater
Maryland
Pain
Management
and
have
not
a
single
bad
thing
to
say
about
them.
I'd
start
there
and
avoid
this
mess
of
situation
you'll
most
likely
end
up
in
if
seen
by
Murray
Obanye.
