Dr. Philip Drew Rodenberger, MD

This made should not be treating any mental health patients. He is rude, abusive, and does not care about his patients.

This sorry doctor still does IME's in WA ST. He moved to PA, but wanted to keep his provider number with the companies he subcontracts through for LNI in WA ST. He is in bed with the WA ST dept of Health, Labor & Industries(LNI). I know for a fact because years ago I sent him a tape recording of his Independent Medical Exam compete with his report to LNI. This sorry disgusting excuse of a doctor actually contacted LNI and told them that I tried to extort money from him. However, he said the tape recording and his report to LNI was to large a file to send to them. This all came up when I sent a complaint about Dr. James Koop. The WA ST DOH wanted to shut me up and contacted LNI. It doesn't matter what documentation you have, you will be thrown under the bus to protect this corrupt system. James koop had complaints against him for assault, and inappropriate sexual remarks. Nothing was done and this anal port still was kept on the payroll to be an expert witness for LNI.

Does not spend enough time with patients. Rude!

Dr Rodenburger does IME's for the State of WA. L&I. MY visit with him was solely for the purpose of asking questions supplied by the Claims Manager. He asked me seven different times if I didn't have depression & anxiety would I be able to work. L&I ignored previous psy exam by someone off their list of providers that had a PHD. And only when I asked when depression was going to be added to my claim did the first IME come about with Dr Michael Friedman and was filled with lies. L&I then claims that the diagnosis has to come from a psychiatrist. L&I will not let you tape record or have a witness for a psy exam. Same with Rodenburger. Dr Rodenburger became frustrated because I wouldn't give him the answers he wanted. Since depression and anxiety had yet to come from a psychiatrist I couldnt answer his questions as he could then say I didnt have depression.Which he then state that it wasn't related to the job of injury. So based off of Dr Rodenburgers and Dr Friedman's IME's they denied… the depression. These doctors that do IME's are just lackeys for the state and have one goal in mind and that is to make up and have their way with your claim. I took a tape recorder with me and taped both IME's. Dr Rodenburger is a sorry excuse for a doctor. Would sell his soul for a paycheck
