Malik, Vinod K, MD

went to this dr. after calling to tell my issues needing another dr. because mine of 3 yr had retired. after taking my $35 co pay he tells me my insurance is no good and that he doesn't give prescriptions( which is a lie because I told the office assistant when making the appointment that I was needing prescriptions and a new doctor she said they could take care of me. He said he only did needles and I said anything to help with my pain that I had done PT in previous yrs and was willing to do that as well he said see ya in 3 wks. Well I have been on pain meds for 10 yr or longer and thought he would give me something but instead as checking out she gives me paperwork saying that they will be calling me for an MRI and PT well guess what he is another prick dr. because it has been almost 2 months and not a call from anyone. Thank God I am not a drug addict and manage my medication incase there are problems like there was in 2011 having hard time getting things filled and still have medication left. Lord knows I would much rather be pain free and take no more pills BUT I AM SO TIRED OF EVERYONE THINKING THAT IF YOU SAY YOU HAVE PAIN YOU ARE A DRUG ADDICT. First time I got methadone prescribed to me the pharmacist thought I was an heroin addict trying to clean up such a sad thing. A hard worker with pain has not got a chance in this world.
