Dr. Kutaiba Tabbaa, MD

One of the worst doctors I have ever seen. I was told to bring all of my imaging and he looked at none. He didn't allow me to give my history so every therapy he recommended I had done. Finally recommended an infusion which he didn't explain well and the information was sparse. He didn't mention it was a series of 6 infusions and the first would only last 2 days when you can it takes 5-6 weeks to get another appointment. The infusion was nothing as expected and I felt like I was dying during the procedure. Lastly, all of their post visit notes are a mystery. They reference a different part of the body than where your pain is located and that you are taking medication that you have never been prescribed. Stay far away from this doctor. He has no bedside manner.

Today was the first day, i ever experience a doctor treating me like my pain was not that important ... I felt humiliated

I met Dr. Tabbaa, over 7 years ago, and he has treated me with respect and has hellped me with my pain. He did 2 surgeries on me and every time I would have a appointement with him, he always answered my questions and I left feeling that he cared about me and I appreciated that. Thanks to Dr. Tabbaa, I have been happy with my treatment and his caring personality.

Great doctor and passionate for his patient, Helped me with all my needs

This doctor is rude, uncaring, never looked at my husbands back. He said all he sees in a man in a wheel chair. When I asked him to look at how twisted his spine was, he shrugged his shoulders and walked out. We were treated like trash. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. I would never go here again. He said to go to UH and get a morphine pump in his back and stay there for rehab.

I have been dealing with MetroHealth Pain Management for approx. 2yrs. They feed you Narcotics like their is no tomorrow. Pump you up with Steroids and Pain never goes away. They ween you off everything and send you on your way and tell you there is nothing more they can do for you. Why do these Facilities exist than?!!! Pain has never left my body and now I am left out in the cold. Would not recommend Pain Management to anyone. Just do Physical Therapy and let your Pain be a mind over matter situation.

Dr. Never examined me, and was not pleased with me. I wanted a 2cnd opinion fron him and he felt I want pain pills. I have never been treated by a Dr. That way. Never got a diagnosis. I was so humiliated.

I was in tears when I left his office. I was labeled a junkie, I heard him say all that I wanted was pain narcotics. He never looked at my medical records. I suffer from chronic pain. I know some of his patients and they love him because he writes excessive pain medicines (narcotics) My doctor left his practice and I was referred to him there was a corporate letter sent to all of my doctors patients stating that we could to rehab, but yet no one looked at us as individuals only a group. I've had serveral surgeries, I suffer from chronic pain. I hurt everyday of my life but this doctor refused to help me. If he would ask his patients to bring their bottles of medication (pain narcotics) and do a count they wouldn't be able to provide it. Nor does he drug test. One of his patients tried to sell me their medication. I'm totally not into purchasing medication, I'll just suffer. One of his patients was tested and drugs were in his system but yet he wouldn't give me a pain patch.… He treated me like a trash. In my opinion he is putting narcotics out on the street because why? would his patient try to sell me their meds.

unfortunately I had thought I found a doctor who would help with my chronic spinal stenosis and degenerative discs in my thoracic and cervical spine. well I was way wrong. He had never reviewed my mri, he will not prescribe medications even in as needed qualities, he pushes these injections and then gives me a lumbar injection yet my cervical spine is where my pain is. He never sees you but, rather he sends a resident doctor to discuss and decide treatment with you. the worst part is when I called to say I was experiencing severe neck stiffness after an infection six days after the injection.... He never returned my call. I explain I'm in severe pain and I need to figure out something including surgery, but he has basically made me feel as if.He doesn't believe my.pain. I know this could be because of the rise in opiate addiction in patients however I'm not even asking to be given them on a daily basis and im fact I hate taking anything. I have an ulcer now due to the ridiculous amount… of motrin he has advised I should take. I should have known that metro would have doctors whom would leave you without mri' being read or even re administered when pain worsens. unfortunately the obunsmans office will have to be notified add to why a doctor would nottake any medical records, documentationsand mri or other material into consideration and listen to the patient when explaining the pain is there and real. everyone is different even whenthe diagnosis are the same the nerves may be affected differently schedule may require more or less work and pain is different in ALL individuals. How anyone searching for a real kind, caring and understanding doctor will look elsewhere.
