Dr. Patricia Eugenie Jumelle, MD

I did everything she required, Physical therapy, gabapentin etc. I take one tramadol a night for pain. Sometimes not every night. I am 78 years old. It took months to be seen by her and more months to actually get a tramadol prescription. After one negative urine screen (17 hours after my one tramadol dose) she dropped me as a patient stating that tramadol should be detectable for up to 4 days. She would not even consider seeing me again. Now I have to wait more months for a new referral. She is incompetent. Do not go to this physician! She basically abandoned me.

I feel like she is following a script for what pain management SHOULD be and not assessing the patient as a complex unit (if that makes sense). She is very nice which is sad because I had to fire her. She wanted me to be seen VERY often, so get ready for nonsensical visits. She also starts everyone (it seems) on high doses of Gabapentin then switches to Lyrica. I got a ton of muscle relaxers and NO actual pain medication even when I was in severe pain. The billing and front desk move very slow. I have had terrible luck with the St. John network as a whole.

Found her to be an excellent Dr. She explained everything in detail and I am positive she can help me.

Ok I went today and I was shocked I've been in painmanagement for over 15YEARS I'VE NEVER SEEN A DOCTOR WHO COULD NOT PERSCRIBE ANY PAIN MEDS PLUS I JUST HAD MAJOR SURGERY ON MY BACK HER TREATMENT plan was ridiculous she knew I was on Oxycodone &morphine she wanted to give me gabapentin what a joke !!!! She also named off some other meds that were not even pain meds just an overall nightmare she has put me in a tailspin please don't waste your time and money on a quack doctor. Thank you

DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT MEDS TO PRESCRIBE FOR TRUE PAIN. OFFERED 4 MEDS WHICH AREN'T INDICATED FOR CHRONIC PAIN AT ALL. OFFERED THERAPY, ALREADY DONE & TENS UNITS, ALREADY TRIED. LOOK UP ANYTHING SHE PRESCRIBES TO SEE WHAT IT IS REALLY FOR. DIDN'T KNOW THAT NEURONTIN NEEDED TO BE RENALLY DOSED FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE. GOING TO SOMEONE ELSE. SUGGEST YOU DON'T EVEN TRY HER.
