Review content:
FROM MIKE MCMANIGLE:
I saw Dr Vacca for the first time for ten minutes in November 2010, at MAPS Maple Grove clinic.
I have previously been diagnosed with bulging discs in my neck and lower back, problems with both my shoulders, and fibromyalgia.
My primary doctor had been prescribing oxycodin for pain relief. My doctor sent me to MAPS for epidurals.
Again, I first saw Dr Vacca for ten minutes (as a preliminary for the epidurals) and he took away my pain meds. Now my primary doctor won't give them back to me, because of Dr Vacca's directions (and Dr Vacca is not my doctor - I only went to MAPS for epidurals - more about that next.)
November and December 2010 I had three epidurals all administered by Dr Vacca and I have at least twice as much pain as I had before the epidurals. I called MAPS to ask Dr Vacca to give me back my pain meds. Here's what happened:
Dr Vacca refuses to let me go back to my previous level of pain medication (which was enabling me to function) and when I complained to MAPS about it, they told me I would have to pay for another office visit - to meet with another doctor!
I didn't understand the the ""pain clinic"" means they will give you more pain, and less relief. Don't go to MAPS - they'll just take your money, just tell you to suffer through your pain, and even refuse you your previous medication!
In my opinion, Dr. Vacca should not be called a doctor.
Run from him!
If you want to talk to me about your experiences with Dr Vacca, or learn more about mine - call me Mike McManigle at 763-557-9407.
