I have been going there for 3 years. I went because he was the only one I could get an appointment with right away when I moved back from Texas. My brother got me in & my first visit was terrible. I should have left then but I thought it would get better. He put a pain pump in for me but it doesn't help. I have a slow terminal illness &I have tried explaining to him but he won't listen. I gave him a disk with my medical history on it & he gave it back to me. I thought he made a copy but he didn't. I have only asked him for oral pain medication twice because I have been on hospice or their palliative program until recently when they stopped their palliative. I had surgery in Dec. & the surgeon gave me a script for pain meds twice. I told Dr. Mikhail this & he told me that wasn't true. He said that only one showed on the website so I did not get a second one. I told him yes I did ask my husband, which he did. My husband verified what I said but he still wanted proof. I told him where I got it & he checked but said no I didn't because it didn't show on the site. He called me a liar like 4 times. Finally I asked him if he would accept the bottle as proof, he said yes but if it was from the first script don't bring it back. I brought it back and showed him & it was from where I said. I had one pill left which I did not realize & he said you only had 30 pills & you kept them this long? I tried explaining to him as I had his nurse that I did nothing but lay on my couch, I could not function. I only took the meds when I had to go somewhere like the doctors. I could not go without the meds. He did not believe me and called me a liar again but said he would send a script to the pharmacy. My husband went to get it & the pharmacist said the doctor said not to give it to me until the next day, it was for 1 pill a day & instead of morphine it was Percocet which he should have known I can not take. That was the last time I will go there. That was last month. I don't recommend him.

Dr. Emad Mikhail has been treating me for severe, chronic low back pain from 3 ruined disks for a couple of years now and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. We have found a protocol that has taken me from such a serious condition that I didn't want to continue living to a new life where I can tolerate the pain and even smile occasionally. While some conditions, like mine, are such that I'll probably never be totally pain free, my quality of life since meeting Dr. Mikhail has dramatically improved. While Dr. Mikhail is an excellent, highly skilled, and very professional physician, he is also a genuinely wonderful person, who really cares about his patients on a personal level. The world needs more people and more physicians like Dr. Mikhail. I am thankful to have Dr. Mikhail as my Pain Management Physician and am honored to consider him a friend, as well.
