Thomas Joseph Malbrough

I saw Dr.Thomas Joseph Malbrough on 3/14/25 for debilitating pain in my neck and shoulder. I was calm, composed respectful yet Dr. Malbrough treated me with disrespect and emotionally among many personal attacks he said I was “being very dramatic”; “I didnt go to medical school I studied chemistry,” “he’s the doctor not me,” despite my efforts to redirect discussion to my suffering and I don’t claim to know medicine just know I can’t continue to live like this I need help and relief urgently. I said I respect & accept his professional perspective and will seek 2nd opinion at BJC where my PCP works. He scoffs says, “well you better do that today because they’re scheduling 2-3 months out.” I said thanks but I’ve heard enough of his advice and thanked him. I’d pleaded with Dr. Malbrough for more immediate relief than PT offers because my pain been severe, unbearable. I can’t function, exercise, do chores, walk my dogs and asked could he please consider submit a PA request for an MRI… since he claimed that’s prerequisite for immediate treatments like cortisone injection, etc. to relieve my pain. I was recording this visit like I do all important medical and business appointments so I’ve proof this is exactly what happened and I was calm, monotone, composed, respectful not emotional or dramatic at all but rather just pleading for more aggressive immediate treatment and relief because my pain has become unbearable and debilitating all I can do is lay on the couch or bed.
