Dr. Ali Hussein Baalbaki, MD

Dr Baalbaki has been exceptional in treating me. I am thankful I was referred to him.

Don’t ever go to this office for real help ! They will not explain to you in detail the issues your having and procedures they will be attempting on your body ! Will have you wait in the office for 2hrs if you don’t switch your appointment time when they call and request! I was called a day prior to my appointment and asked to switch my procedure time for another patient, in which I couldn’t ! I arrived 30mins ahead of time as usual , I say usual cause this is my third shot in three weeks , and the first time I had to wait 2hrs to get my procedure over and done with ! I expressed my frustration with the doctor and told him I would be complaining to my advocate about the wait time and the fact that my procedure was not clearly explain to me and he got mad and canceled my procedure! Completely unacceptable, and unprofessional!! If you care about your health and knowing alll that your procedures inquire DO NOT TAKE YOUR LOVED ONES OR SELF HERE !! Dr. Baalbaki is extremely unprofessional, and sensitive when things that shouldn’t be acceptable, aren’t accepted ! I will never let this guys perform work on me again ! Please be cautious of this Dr ! Any doctor that won’t be up front and has issues with you expressing that sitting for 2hrs has cause you more pain and is a pain specialist, is not good for business ! BEWARE!!!!

No bedside manner

I just want everyone to know that you should avoid coming to this doctor. His only opinion is that you're not qualified for pain medication that you're only good for $2,500 spinal abrasion or shots in your back. Does not listen to what your previous physician treatments were. I just came out of his practice just a few minutes ago and he completely ignored my issue with severe intracranial vascular stenosis. My blood vessels in my brain are 50-80 percent blocked. I have been told.by my neurologist that I must get the.pain and blood pressure under control. This doctor says I.am not a candidate for oxicotin even though that pain med is very effective at only 5 mg for me. The doctor argued with me that 5 mg would not control my pain. Now I'm told what works for me doesn't? Doctors no longer treat patients. It's all about the money. Even with my severe brain issues would not prescribe pain meds to give immediate relief. I have a life or death situation here with my brain. I must get the pain.reduced or the pain will continue to increase blood pressure and diabetic suger levels. The blood vessels will continue to get worse until I die. So I am going to save every one time and money by suggesting you skip.all doctors and find your own meds the same.way I.am forced to.

I had waited a long time for an appointment and my first and only visit was terrible. He more or less assumed I was there for drugs. He badgered me with questions and then repeated them again. He told me he would not refill my prescriptiion my previous doctor had prescribed for pain and said I would go through withdrawals for a few days and then take Tylonol. I am 70 years old and have severe nerve pain. I am not an attic and have never gone through withdrawals from anything. My pain level goes up without some prescription pain medicine. He never looked me in the eye and said he would see me in a month and just left me sitting there. I was open to any treatments etc. but he never discussed anything. I was in tears when I checked out. I cancelled future appointment

He never remembers who you are or what your treatment plans are from visit to visit. After a few years you would think he would remember. I changed my insurance plan to suit the plan that we made only to have that disregarded and changed. Now I am stuck with a lot more expensive plan than I needed.

My pain was never managed.

Doctor Baalbaki is a mysognisyic, pompous man who disregards patient's input on their treatment. He treated an anonymous patient for two years without so much as looking at his/her medical record. On several occasions Doctor Baalbaki attempted to treat the patient for fibromyalgia, which the patient does not have and was never diagnosed with, because he could not be bothered to remember her actual diagnoses. I highly recommend never ever allowing Doctor Baalbaki to treat you or your loved ones.

Incredibly professional. First doctor I've found in 3 years who actually listened and was willing to help relieve my pain,
