I wish I could give a rating lower than 1 star. I was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm wich causes very painful migrains and a shoulder requiring surgery. I got a referal to see a pain specialist. Unfortunately I picked Dr Baumeister. I saw him 2 weeks prior to surgery and he prescribed some pain medication. My regular agreed I should up it because my shoulder was getting worse. I called his office as was treated very poorly by the receptionist who is nosey and very rude and unprofessiona. The Dr promised to manage my pain after my sugery. I called the day after surgery and was told he would not treat me. So I am stuck 2 weeks after with nothing to help with the pain. It takes weeks and sometimes months to get in to see another one. So if you really need pain managment run from this quack. You will regret it. I called the Dr to ask why and he hung up on me. Please find a better doctor.
