Dr. Thomas Paul Olenginski, MD

Dr. Olenginski goes above and beyond. So kind and caring.

I have all the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. He gaslit me for 2 years telling me I don't have it. Finally agrees I 'might' have it and puts me on 50 mg of Lyrica. It helps, but only a little. I suffered for 2 more years. Every visit I had to convince him I do in fact have Fibromyalgia. Eventually I discovered that the STARTING dosage is actually 200-300 mg. I went in and he leaned against the table and said 'so you think you have Fibromyalgia.' In the most condescending tone. I yelled at him and when I tried to walk out he blocked my path. I looked at his notes through the Geisinger app and it turns out he lied on all of them, starting with my first visit where he put down that I 'might have Fibro', when he definitely told me I didn't, I was 'just depressed'. Do not go to him. He will treat you awful. I would give him 0 stars if I could.

Another doctor diagnosed me with lups and referred me to Dr. Olenginski. The wait time was over three months. When I finally had my appointment, he took one look at me and said, "You don't have lupus. You just have really bad skin. You should see a dermatologist." Then he turned to leave. I said, "I have other symptoms besides bad skin." He turned back around and said, "I don't need to hear your other symptoms, because I can tell by looking at you that you don't have lupus. You just have really bad skin." Then a huge smile appeared on his face as he said, "And it looks like you're going bald, too." I asked him one last time if he'd listen to my other symptoms. He refused and left the room.

Condisending and doesn’t believe I’m sick, even though I was diagnosed 2 years ago by another doctor. The first time I saw him 3 years ago he blew off my complaints, saying I ‘just had depression ‘.

Not very caring
