    Dr. Mcelligott stated he would start me on a low dose of gabapentin. I was thinking 100 mg. But when I picked up my Rx it was for 300mg capsules Daily then increase to TID. OMG, that's way too much for a first time user. Yikes. I'll be calling him and have to now pay for a replacement Rx for the lower dose of 100 mg. You're killing my budget!

    The only reason I answered mostly on trust and knowledge of history is because both of those things take time. I felt really good about everyone I encountered from check in, to the nurses collecting medical history, seeing the Doc and discussing options to checking and and rescheduling. Everyone was knowledgeable, helpful, kind and respectful. For the first time in a very long long time I was impressed, and when it comes to the current health "care" being offered, Impressing me is an extremely difficult task to say the very least. I simply couldn't be more pleased and secure going forward with a medical team the will be injecting a very seriously injured spine!! You just can't imagine how relieving it is to feel this comfortable. Please share this with the staff because today all people share is their negative experiences they deserve and need to be recognized for their excellence. May peace be with whomever reads this as you are appreciated more than you know.

    My experience at this orthopedic practice was disappointing. The front desk staff seemed disorganized - check-in and check-out both took longer than expected and could use better coordination. Once I saw the doctor, the visit felt rushed, and I felt more like a number than a patient. Only one treatment option (physical therapy) was offered, with no discussion of alternatives. The office itself appeared old, outdated, and unfortunately had an unpleasant odor. Overall, the environment and level of care did not meet my expectations.

    I didn't feel he was as compassionate as I like in a doctor or a good listener . I was in agony (mid back) and he didn't give me any options such as a muscle relaxer or massage or chiropractor or heat/ cold application - but I suggested phys therapy and he wrote the script. He barely touched my back or had me move to understand or figure out what could be wrong. He didn't show me the xray results which I would have been interested in to show me the scoliosis or arthritis, which he said he noticed. I like docs that act like they care and are interested in figuring out issues. I feel I need an MRI or ct scan , next ( soon!) since I've had this problem with my back for way over a year and I'd hopefully like an answer to exactly what's causing my pain before I start the phys therapy ( which will be painful . ) I do not want to be prescribed pain pills.

    When I called to set up my appt., I asked the nurse before I made my appt, if the Pain management doctor does Epidurals or Nerve blocks. I was told yes. I waited over a month for this appt & when I went back they made me get another xray even though I brought my MRI & had my xray results. They told me that doesn't matter. When the doctor came in the room he cut me off and said there is nothing he can do for me because he only does in office cortisone shots and also uses iv contrast, which I can't use because I am allergic to both of them. He then handed me a paper with addresses & phone numbers for someone who could help me. I waited over a month, spent $60 for my copay & was there 15 mins for the doctor to tell me he couldn't help me. It was a complete & utter waste of my time & money. And now it has further my delay in going back to work because I have to wait another month for another appt at a different place. If the lady from the beginning would have been honest I would have never schedule my appt with him.

    The Virtua navigator initially scheduled me with Dr. [REDACTED] despite my informing them that I believed the symptoms in my upper arm was related to previous damage to my cervical spine. When I arrived for my appointment and spoke with the assistant in the exam room she recognized that Dr. [REDACTED] was not the appropriate doctor and arranged for me to be seen by Dr. McElligott without a delay in my appointment time. Dr. McElligott took his time listening and offered me options. I would also like to acknowledge Dr. [REDACTED] (whom I had seen for a previous issue) for stopping by the room to say hello and make sure I was agreeable to the change in doctor. I would recommend Reconstructive Orthopedics to anyone.
