1 /5 Trebor Arutnev: I saw Dr McNulty in May. Although he was clearly EXTREMELY unhealthy looking himself, as well as smelling like cigarettes, he said he would help me with my pain. He promised that he would not let me continue to suffer. And together wed find a course of treatment and treat my problems after the tests ordered were completed.
I did my blood test in May and my EMG upper and lower over the next month. My follow up came in August, so three months five visits, five co-pays. Multiple blood tests and an upper and lower EMG.
Firstly, why have a portal if nothing is ever there? Nothing but co-pay info. No one fills it out and anything typed from your visit goes elsewhere, not here at helo. Its a waste of space on my phone.
Finally in August, for my follow-up, I saw the doctor. He didnt remember me but spent five minutes refreshing himself. Then he said that I have all the things wrong that he suspected five things in fact. And he now could see the big picture of what is going on with me.
Ok great, I said, how can you help me? Whats my course of treatment doctor? How are you going to help me with this pain doctor? Its sometimes so overbearing and overwhelming.
DOCTORS Recommendation
1 - See my general doctor.
2 - See a hand doctor.
3 - See a back doctor.
4 - Go to the drug store and get hand braces.
Wait, what? Why did I come to you Dr McNulty? His answer was, "I am 62 years old and a brain surgeon." I asked how that would help "ME". He said he didnt think it would and he got very defensive from my questioning him. He even told me he didnt like being questioned. My response was that I needed answers and that I was in a lot of pain, do you have anything here physical therapy? Should I take more Tylenol? I was looking for treatment, anything from him. What kind of braces should I get, will he give me a prescription. Nope, I dont do that and was directed to ask the pharmacist.
Why have I come to you for three months then? Where is the help you told me about ? All of the tests you asked me to take I took and have issues.
He started breathing heavy, he was sweating Im not sure if that was because of his morbid obesity or his chain smoking cigarettes but I was worried for him.
Then he told me I was not welcome to come back to eRiver. I asked why he again repeated that he was 62 years old and a brain surgeon. I said no, why are you refusing to treat me and banning me from your practice? His answer was, "I DONT LIKE TO BE QUESTIONED."
I my opinion this doctor needs some medical attention himself. He is clearly unhealthy himself and doesnt take care of himself and that clearly shows in his demeanor and his extremely lazy medical work.
I went to my appointments, took my tests, paid my co-pays but apparently because my brain was intact I didnt deserve his time, empathy or treatment.
The front staff and ancillary treatment was more than adequate. But I can not recommend this doctor or their medical portal for anything. Because neither have provided me with anything close to adequate or care at any level.
Please do yourself a favor and SKIP this unhealthy, rude, pompous doctor and take the drive South for someone that provides care, empathy and treatment.
