Dr. Kevin Gene Drew, MD

I went to my appointment at 2pm and at 3:45 I set in his Exam room for almost 2 hours. And then he came in the room and I asked what time is it? Then he asked me if I had to go to work real mean. Then he said do you want to ********* then he walked out and said he was discharging me.

Doesn't remember what he says from one appointment to this next. Had a spinal procedure done, he was looking at my back at the time, he says that my spine was almost fused, I had a follow up appointment, he didn't remember that he said it. NO bedside manner, very unprofessional, can't answer simple questions about pain. Doesn't he believe in taking notes!

PROFESSIONAL, VERY CARING.EXPLAINS PROCEDURE BEFORE DOING IT. EXCELLENT STAFF

VERY GOOD DR. EXPLAINS EVERYTHING BEFORE HE PERFORMS THE PROCEDURE.STAFF HAS ALWAYS BEEN FRIENDLY

It 8s all about the ibjections. He dies not maje any money off you if you refuses injections. This man could care less about you. Pain meds listed on the paper he gives everyinr willl nit be guven to you. He uses that fform to lure you in.He is awful

I went for a consultation appointment and he seemed willing to help me. Suggested putting me on a new pain med and gave me a list of other options to try. Went in for my next appointment thinking I would switch to him and I tell him that I did research on the new meds and the options and would like to go ahead with them. He then tells me that if that's the route I want to go, he is not the person for me. HE was the one that suggested them and now a week later he's NOT that person? Really? Very unprofessional!

Understand you have tossed five patients out of your practice this week cutting them off from their meds cold turkey you are playing with peoples lives you are risking peoples lives hope you feel like a really big man you don’t deserve to practice medicine and I will see to it that you no longer will already contacted the top malpractice attorney in the state also have the numbers for the feds and the Indiana medical license board and have contacted my insurance company and they will be dropping you Big mistake have it’s a really big insurance company big mistake you are risking peoples lives how dare you you don’t deserve to practice medicine and I will see to it that you no longer do people be afraid be very afraid of this man

He has worked hard to get me a medicine that would and will help my pain. I have a chronic hip infection that has been brutal! I can't walk right now. But, the plan is too get me up and walking somewhere around the 2020 new year! I thank him for his help!!

I had five minutes or less with him for first appointment. Had a negative attitude from the onset and was antagonistic . Did not listen when discussing origin of pain. Walked out the door and said that he would not help me. Very Rude! Don't go to him!

I have had several fusions I have 42 screws in my spine now I have four herniated disc in my thoracic and this doctor won't do anything for me besides injections and I've had all the injections I could possibly get. Very inconsiderate no bedside manner when you have all kinds of DVDs written reports from neurosurgeons and he still won't give me any pain medication whatsoever I will not have any more injections because they do not work if I have to have surgery again it will be very very risky I hate doctors like this not cool doesn't want to help all he wants is your money don't go to him

Went to Dr. Drew and he wanted me to get shots more than I needed them to. He wanted me to switch all care to his clinic or he wouldn't continue writing my scripts. I had been going to another person in his office who was wonderful to deal with. Dr. Drew point blank told me if your not going to give me the CREAM where all the money is made I'm not helping you with your pain scripts. One of my scripts causes seizures if you quit them entirely without weaning and he was like not my problem. He then told his nurse to discharge me as soon as I wouldn't agree to allowing him to give me unnecessary treatments. Don't go here! Run the other direction lots of other really good pain doctors out there Dr. Drew is not one of them.

Every review I read was very true. His very rude non dr. Assistant told me and I quote " people like you make me sick" I heard dr. Drew ( hurts to call him dr.) and nurses laughing. I was new to area and only wish I did my homework before going to these people. I thought it was only me. The best best pain relief I got was when I was no longer welcome there. So I thank them for making it possible to find a true blue pain healer.

He gave me a dangerous Medicine that caused me to black out and said there were no side effects. I thought him arrogant and kept telling me how terrible my back was in a sarcastic manner, He offered no other solutions for me. I left discouraged and angry! His telephone scheduler was so rude to me on the phone when I asked her for a sedative before my MRI appt. She told me in no uncertain terms that, "he does NOT prescribe Valium". I hung up on her and never went back. dr

i have been going to dr. drew office for over 3 years every 3 months when i go to my app. i pay my bill from the previous app. today i find that for $49 past due amount my app. was canceled leaving my with no pain med till i can get back

Was my pain doc for 8 years and he is a horrible human being for the torture he inflicted on me by not properly managing my pain

Honest opinion. His staff is very rude well most are the records lady with curly black hair and is associate assandra are on another level of rude! I was on medication for over 3 yrs from him never had a issue only came in for refills no complaints wrote in his paper he had me fill out pain was not manageable. Out of nowhere after seeing assandra she tells me that he's not happy with me and that meds that I take are NOT long term that we need to look into alternatives. She honesty acts like she's his wife or Mistress who knows? But I go into to see drew and he says there is a new law and he has to cut me off meds and look into injections! I stated I did not want injections so he then terminates me as a patient! Guess my monthly visits where not cutting it for his pocket! Honestly I have called other pain drs and explained to them what he did and they told me this is not the first call they have gotten a lot of his patients are now going to them due to this! He's cutting people for money you are not in his best interest only a paycheck.

He is very rude and does not care about your pain level . You fill out a form every time you see him and answer you are not happy with your pain management and I think no one even reads it . His female assistant has a chip on her shoulder and does not like men , like she is bitter from past relationships . She also uses coercion and threatens you that they will drop you as a patient if you complain too much . Also it took them 8 months to send a statement ( which in real law is not a bill ) . He has cut his staff down so much so he can make more money off of you and you end up with a bunch of stumble bums handling your Medicare or insurance .

VERY RUDE.....DOES NOT TRY TO HELP WITH PAIN. ACTUALLY HE LOWERED MY DOSE OF PAIN MEDS MY FAMILY PRESCRIBED. NO HELP AT ALL!!!

Wait time 1-3 hours

I have been a patient of Dr. Drew since 1999. Over the years, we have been through a number of challenges and each time, Dr. Drew has been fair, caring, compassionate and has taken the responsible approach. But there have been times he irritated me because I wanted to do one thing and he insisted on another. He was right the VAST majority of the time. We had honest and open discussions about the issues, which at times, became incredibly difficult to deal with. But Dr. Kevin Drew has NEVER led me astray nor has he done anything which was inappropriate. He is a man of strong character, high family values and he is strong in his faith. He never brings it up, but if you want to discuss the appropriate place and or role for your faith in your medical treatment, he is certainly capable and understanding. If you are an agnostic of atheist, you will also be comfortable with Dr. Drew. If you think you are going to see him and walk out with your narcotic of choice, at your suggestion, don't waste your time. Dr. Drew is a PROFESSIONAL and he won't play games or bend to your will if you are seeking to do the wrong thing. I have been way up on my narcotic needs and I have brought them way down by myself as my condition improved. He was pleased that it was my initiative and decision to seek to reduce my need for narcotics for my multiple serious injuries. You need to take responsibility for your actions, treatment choices and drug use, otherwise you are merely fooling yourself, and destined for heartache and despair. I have undergone over a dozen orthopedic surgeries so I have a legitimate need to have been on strong narcotics over time. But being on massive doses of strong drugs for a long time will NOT ENHANCE your quality of life, it will only destroy it over time. If you are seeking an easy source for prescription narcotics, then go elsewhere. if you have a legitimate need and are honest with yourself and Dr. Drew, you will get along just fine. But be prepared to undergo drug testing on a regular basis. Be prepared to be required to bring your pill bottles in for a count of your remaining meds to make sure you are following the agreed upon protocol. If you think this is a place where you get whatever you want and you will call the shots, you are going to be very unhappy. If you demonstrate honesty in your condition and are most importantly, honest with YOURSELF about why you are on pain meds, then Dr. Drew will be able to work with you and help you improve your quality of life. But pain is a complicated area and it often involves depression and other factors which MUST be addressed to truly deal with your entire medical pain issues. Expect Dr. Drew to require MRI, X-Rays, ECG Scans or one of a myriad of other tests to identify your pain source and develop the best plan to approach it. But if you won't follow the regimen, won't get the necessary tests, won't follow the Physical Therapy regimen, won't try alternative therapies, then you are likely just a drug seeker and Dr. Drew won't tolerate you for a Mishawaka minute. Pain is very real and serious. But many people use pain as an excuse to obtain and abuse narcotic drugs. I assure you that if you don't work very hard, probably harder than you have worked on anything in your life, then pain will consume you and it very well may destroy your quality of life and perhaps result in you losing your life to narcotic abuse. It's up to you.
