Dr. Akil Shomari Benjamin, DO

They would not post my original comment. This "pain doctor" does not understand PAIN. Forget him.

Horrible Doctor. At our consult he made it seem like he wanted to truley help so I fired my last horrible doctor michelle martin at chocie pain and came back after he referred me to a neurologist. I did what he asked and then instead of adding meds as we spoke of he lowered my meds. I would have stayed if I knew that. He then wanted another mri when I had no complaints of lower back and he lied and said my nerve pain is something else though I had 2 opinions on it and He knew I would be in withdrawal and did not care. I waited 2 hours then they sit you in a room to wait some more, he spent all of 5 minutes with me and there waiting room is filled with ghetto junkies which explains the care you receive. They're from Baltimore after all not nice Montgomery County. Worst place ever and if you go you will see why. It's not about the meds, I had the meds. It's about good care which he is far from it. I can't fit enough words to describe how bad he is. Soon as I told him how I felt about his… practice another doctor akin there dr .a they call him broke hippa violations and read are email and then discharged me after I gave him my 5 cents. Did they really think I wanted to come back lol

I was put in a stink bug infested room , I told the doctor about my situation and he ordered a 1500 cream that broke me out, prescribed a medication that was too strong with the only patient teaching being for the cream and not the pain patch. The patch had me vomiting for 2 days and when I called the office I was not allowed to speak to the doctor but the office staff told me to take off the patch and take Motrin ??? Really? You tell some one that can't eat to take something that will make the issue worse, and I was told only to take medication prescribed by them or I would be discharged. Needless to say I never went back
