Dr. Emad Wasfy Rizk Daoud, MD

I went in for severe spinal stenosis and a fractured right knee all consist of pain. he suggested that I look for my pain medication online. This is what doctors have been reduced to because they're so scared to prescribe any pain medication to their patients that are in pain. So instead of a doctor not helping me I have to look for my pain medication on the internet thank you very much.

Before he even looked further into figuring out why I had neck pain he guessed instead. And offered no treatments. Told me because I wanted to see a neck surgeon instead that all I want is surgery. Umm no just wanted to make sure my hardware in my neck was fine etc. He is not a surgeon but acted like he knew based on old records. Waste of time. You don't tell a patient to "accept it" instead of finding the cause. I didn't go to a therapist I went to a doctor.

I saw Dr. Daoud for a year and a half. He never ordered one test, x-ray, mri, or ct-scan. He never checked the RH factor in my blood before diagnosing me with arthritis. His only treatment was to keep upping medication that I continually told him had no effect, until I said no and found a different medication to try on my own. He put me on a muscle relaxer without checking to see if it interacted with any of the other 9 meds I take. It did. And only after a year did anyone bother to check that. I could have died. The interaction of those two medications can be dangerous. Finally, I asked for nothing more than more ideas because nothing we'd done had worked. He insisted the CC pain clinic was the only other treatment he had. The program runs 5 days a week from 7:30 to 4 for 9 weeks and if you miss one day, they'll drop you. I'm on federal disability for the precise reason that I cannot keep that schedule. He does not listen to anything but the glorious chorus of how awesome… he is playing in his head. He will not offer cortisone injections. He will not offer therapeutic massages. He will not offer medication beyond OTCs. Bottom line: his job is to send you to CC pain clinic which will cost you thousands more than any other treatment.

staff is great .. however their wasn’t any follow up ... nothing explained, no notes on my chart ... as to what transpired or what followmup was recommended. I was told he wasn’t very good with that. It was as though the appt. never happned. I couldn’t remember half of what he was saying.

Ive been under Dr. Daouds care for over 6 years now. In this time, he has never changed the way appointments are handled, treatment offerings, availability, professionalism and compassion. Reason being......he has always been "on top" with his knowledge and understanding way, of his practice. He runs a tight ship and is always aware of a patients needs.would I recommend Dr. Daoud? Resoundly, yes!

THIS DR. ATTEMPTED TO MANAGE MY PAIN WITHOUT LOOKING INTO WHAT WAS CAUSING MY SYMPTOMS. THIS DR. WILL NOT TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO YOU.
