ColumbiaDoctors Columbus Circle - Pain Center 1790 Broadway, Manhattan, New York,

"Had an appointment scheduled weeks in advance. Received a call the day before my appointment that it was canceled. Called back and left a message twice since you can't get a person to reschedule. No call backs. Going somewhere else. Not comfortable with how they deal with patients. Badly ran operations."

"Had what was meant to be a diagnostic procedure (spinal chord epidural) for my chronic pain. Not only did it make my pain worse, but in the days and week following it was impossible to get in contact with my doctor and my increase in pain was untreated. I was told he would call me several times over the course of days but no one got back to me. The on call Drs refused to prescribe anything. Terrible patient treatment, front desk kept pushing my call return time back, and bad results."

"I was referred to Dr. Weinberger by another pain management doctor who told me that I need to go here because my problem was unusual and Dr. Weinberger might be able to help because he has seen more cases. This doctor was completely useless. I spent more time with the interns who seemed genuinely interested. When the doctor came in he offered no solutions and barely seemed interested. On top of his lack of interest I received a bill for $400 for the drug screening that is done by a lab out of network. I feel like ColumbiaDoctors is a brand and that’s all. Like a Chinese knockoff. Quality medical care is a thing of the past. There is no benefit I was hoping they would at least confer with other doctors to try and solve my problem but I don’t feel like they care once your 10 minutes is up."

"Dr. Matthews I have fought with to give me some pain medicine for the last year and a half. She I reluctant to give me anything because I have epilepsy. She recently gave me lidocaine ointment which didn't work. It caused me to have multiple back spasms per day. The receptionist told me the ointment doesn't cause people to have back spasms. Now she wants me to go back and see her again. I MEAN FOR WHAT?"
