"Terrible Doctor. Avoid at all cost"
  • November 8, 2023
"I purposely chose Dr. Balotti because he is a physiatrist specializing in non-operative spine rehabilitation and I knew I had a herniated disc and sciatica, but did not need surgery. He was cordial enough but very cursory: the appointment took about nine minutes and would have been over in about five had I not compiled a list of questions. The assistant left a laptop open while I waited for Dr. Bilotti (a HIPAA violation), and I noticed appointments scheduled every 10 minutes. Dr. Belotti looked at the laptop screen as much as me during the visit, and his only examination was a quick check for foot drop. He interrupted me during a brief explanation and quickly said I should probably have a epidural steroid injections, which he’d be happy to do. He did not volunteer any risks or mention success rates until I asked about these things, and then minimized both. When I asked what activities I should avoid, he said “just common sense; don’t jog and don’t lift anything heavy.” I had already told ...
him that I couldn’t sit or stand for more than 10 minutes and couldn’t drive, so these were obvious answers. When I asked him what the best sleeping position would be, he said “whatever feels comfortable.” when I asked if he had any medication suggestions, he asked me what I was taking. Only when I pointed out that I had provided a list did he step out to get it. I told him that Aleve worked pretty well, but I was concerned about long-term use. He prescribed meloxicam and only when I got home did I realize it is an NSAID and can cause similar problems over the long term. It can also interact with the paroxetine that I’ve been taking for over 20 years. Dr. Bilotti did not mention any of this. I was left with the impression that Dr. Balotti had immediately decided that I should have ESIs and all that mattered was scheduling my injections with him. "
