I am looking for a replacement for my doctor that will prescribe pain medication. I was in a near fatal mva fractured my spine, among other things and have been in constant pain in my lower back and pelvis. I have been seeing a doctor for several years who has had no problems giving me 120 norco a month, but now he is retiring. He has no suggestions for me, I am in central cal. I could go anywhere from bay area to sacramento, to fresno..LA would be too far. does anyone hsa info from this area? i would greatly appreciate. I am so worried....

Dr. Don Mills runs a pill mill in Orange County. He prescribes narcotics without even touching the patient and he prescribes narcotics without looking at blood pressure or weight. He should not have a license to practice medicine.

Re: Carol (# 144)

Perhaps no other person can better inculcate good medical ethics into a young doctor’s mind other than himself. Which scenario is more of beneficence to a patient suffering from persistent pain on his shoulders – is it the lecturing about opioids or is it a discussion of where his pain is and its history? I got the former but definitely not the latter. Or should there be a good balance of both? I wish there was but neither did I get that. I went to this doctor March, 2018 because I read good reviews about him online. My experience with Dr. Germanovich was very disappointing. He seemed already so prepared to address something even before the consultation started. He treated me as if I was there to ask for more hydrocodon. A consultation should start with a doctor being compassionate with a patient’s pain and this includes not summarily treating all patients as if they had no control with their lives and were there to ask for more hydrocodon. My main treating orthopedic surgeon knows very well that I have been trying to get away from hydrocodon. I also come from a family where many of my immediate relatives are doctors, specialists, and nurses. I could get the hydrocodon from them if I wanted to. But I did not. Instead, my relatives advised me to use it sparingly and only for severe pain and I followed my treating orthopedic surgeon’s and my relatives’ advice.

So I went to this doctor hoping to find one who is caring and understanding and would listen to my problems of constant shoulder pain. This doctor, Dr. Germanovich did not even want to listen to me. I mentioned to him that I was using hydrocodon and that my last prescription was December 21, 2017. He asked how many were prescribed and I told him 30. I told him that I was out by end of February. That’s more than 2 months. I did not even utter the words that I wanted a prescription for hydrocodon. He was dismissive and lectured me on the dangers of hydrocodon. I have been lectured enough by my relatives. I have an uncle in New York who is a retired anesthesiologist, another uncle who is a general surgeon, a first cousin who is an orthopedic surgeon, a younger sister who is a doctor, first cousins who are doctors who have lectured me on the dangers of hydrocodon. And I listened to them. If I have used hydrocodon in the past it is because I had three surgeries on both shoulders. And I did not even ask for them at that time. I was there with Dr. Germanovich hoping to find a way out of this persistent pain on both shoulders and away from hydrocodon because I’ve used it for quite a time and I know it is affecting my mind. I felt that what was dominating in his mind was to tell me about the dangers of hydrocodon. He is mean-spirited and showed an attitude of lecturing people about hydrocodon. It’s fine if he does so but I also felt that this doctor keeps a distance and does not want to listen to anything else. I did not even utter the words that I wanted a prescription for hydrocodon.

I went to that consultation with a CD of my medical history and I saw his staff download it into their computer. I felt that this doctor did not read my medical history because he wrote on his progress notes that I was not interested in a surgery recommended by both my treating orthopedic surgeon and another orthopedic surgeon's 2nd opinion last March 2017. I did get that recommended surgery last June 22, 2017 - my third on my shoulders. Inside the consultation room, I told him that I did not get a benefit from my third surgery and I still have ongoing problems of pain on my left shoulder. Because of an incorrect statement on his progress notes that I was not interested in a third surgery, it was an indication that he did not read my medical history. Diagnosing my constant pain would require thoughtfulness and a thorough medical history. He had an authoritarian streak and did not even bother to ask me where my pain was and if I have more pain on my left shoulder than on my right shoulder. He was cold and dismissive. He basically commanded the physician-patient interaction instead of a two-way interaction. I was there inside the room consulting with him for less than 10 minutes. Before I left the office, I asked his medical assistant to ask him to correct his narrative. I received a call that day that this doctor will not correct his narrative on his progress notes. He is a young doctor with an idealistic advocacy of stamping out abuse of narcotics. I hope that as he matures in his chosen field, his idealism will be tempered with the reality that not everyone is an abuser of opioids. I am hopeful that instead of a hypocritical concern about the abuse of opioids, what would come first in his mind is a real concern for those who are in perpetual pain. In his hypocritical advocacy about the abuse of opioids, some things were not discussed. There was no discussion where my pain was and if I had one or more areas in my shoulders where I have constant pain. He prescribed Gabapentin, told me how it was to be taken but did not even tell me what it was for or what he was diagnosing me with. Am I not supposed to know? I read the literature that came with Gabapentin and learned that he probably diagnosed me with nerve pain. Well, the Gabapentin didn’t work. Everyone deserves respect and to be heard. This doctor should not be cold and dismissive and summarily assume that every patient of his abuses opioids. He was just too consumed about it. I went home from that appointment feeling his mean-spiritedness and feeling my own hopelessness with this constant pain. If one has muscoloskeletal problems on his shoulders, one shouldn’t go to him. It’s not listed on his website as a sub-specialty that he treats.
