Dr. Ruchira Mehra, MD

Very good Dr. Listener, Very thorough and detailed. Never anything unnecessary, always show genuine care and concern for my overall health.

Dr. Mehra is warm and easy to talk to. She spends more time with me than any doctor ever has. She listens to my questions and health concerns and takes them into consideration in my health care. She understands that my goal is holistic health care, primarily preventative, and makes me a partner in determining the best way to stay healthy.

Dr. Mehra is a very nice Dr. But when it comes to my health and treating my severe chronic back pain she will not prescribe medication that will help my pain. i am allergic to most narcotics and all the muscel relaxers she has given me which she says is the strongest they make doesnt help me, I have taken Soma before but she refuses to give that out, she says its highly adictive but is willing to give me norco's or vicodin which is a higher narcotic that i cant take. She then said she just dosent know what else to do to help me. The ER dr. said she has to treat me for long term pain managment Because my disc in my back is inoperable due to being so close to the spinal cord. But she either cant or wont give me anything to help with the severity of the pain and I have children an a house to take care of and just cant do it being in this much pain 24 hrs a day. Im just having a hard time living my life like this in pain not being able to move much or even do household chores like dishes or cooking for my children. I like the Dr. she is very nice and sweet, but that just dont cut it being a Dr. she needs to be more receptive and treat patients with meds that there not allergic to and that have helped in the past.
