Kiran Patel, MD

The doctor must have an Evil twin. She couldn’t be nicer and very understanding to one’s pain. She explain what would be the best thing to do and how to proceed. I had the procedure the next day and hopefully on my way to recovery. As for the review below me. He must have gotten out of bed on the wrong side.

She struts around her domain (office area) like the Queen in Alice in Wonderland. At any time I expect to hear her say «Off With His Head.» Cold & arrogant is only part of her traits. Try stuck-​up, opinionated, Harsh, craves attention, more. She never did a exam.
With her background & training she should be a very effective Dr. Maybe she did not pay attention in Med School in NJ. Or her Fellowship in Pain Medicine from Columbia Presbyterian. She took courses in these areas, no degree in Pain Medicine to my knowledge.
she administered 3 epidurals for me. None of them worked. I called her and asked her for a «steroid Injection» that worked for me in the past. She said to make an appointment. I did and she did a procedure. After the procedure my legs started to collapse. I barely made it home. I could not walk properly for 2 months. On my next visit I asked her if that procedure was epidural she said no it was a (medical term, medical term for arthritis procedure) I do not have arthritis and never did. that procedure did not work either.
Next RADHA: Radha is a physician’s Assistant. Cute as a bug and almost as tall. She is not quite so cold but Luke warm. She can turn from a June bug into a Monster in a split second. she reamed me on my last visit because I was given narcotic pain medicine in the hospital. she stated that I am to get my pain medicine from this office «Only» or find another pain management doctor. She made me sign an agreement to that effect. «WOW». Now I am not addicted to this pain medicine and do not plan to be. This is why when I ask for pain meds I specify that I only want 10 pills. But they always give me 30 or more. Go figure. Now on each visit they tell me part of her pain management is to take a Urine test. My insurance notified me that i was tested for: to include; Assay Amphetamine/​methamphetamine, Assay of COCAINE or Metabolite. Give me a break. If I was taking methamphetamine or cocaine, why would I need pain medication, Or a doctor even. DUH!
When it comes down to Kiran & Radha. I would RADHA not.

BAD EXPERIENCE
Cold & arrogant, didn’t listen attentively, would cut me off. Did not fully evaluate my complex painful condition, causing the waste of so much time, emotion & money on useless injections & treatment. Find a more skillful pain specialist with a truly caring bedside manner.
