Nasty, Nasty, Nasty. i have been here many times and over four years only seen the doctor one time. each time i go i am put into a nasty room filled with dust. air unit is so full of garbage it spews out onto the ceiling. the shirts are not washed well, looks like urine spots on most and they are beige from wear. the ceiling fan blades are caked with dust from moving the dirty air in the room. trash can was not emptied from the night prier. i sat in the lobby with Nat's flying around, who know from what. and forced to inhale the stale cigarette smoke from other persons. he has hired new persons again. And I don't blame them for leaving so quickly. i cant get over how anyone thinks this is OK? Even if the majority of his patients are indigent they deserve better than this. we are not cattle. i urge you to take a stand. Demand that you receive better. This is still America........

I saw dr. Gullick today, and I actually can't say whether or not he is good at what he does. I can say that what he told me about one of the things I went to see him about was not in agreement with anything that I have read from sites such as the Mayo Clinic. I can say that the man has zero personality. Under no circumstances what I allow this man to cut into my neck or my lower lumbar. He gave me approximately 4 minutes of his time, and answered basically none of the questions I asked him. It seems to me that something as important and dangerous as cutting into or around someone's spine would at least have a doctor with enough personality to at least pretend that he cared about the person he was speaking to. I came away from this appointment confused, depressed and more than slightly angry.

Lazy, judges you on paper not to your face… The VA sent me to him and I brought all my history but he never read it because he knew nothing about me!!! No discussion but he writes in his notes that I’m pre Alzheimer’s pre Diabetic, WTH!!! I saw him once and he refused to pay the VA anymore so he dropped me without discussion, I showed up for my second appointment and they said we’ve dropped you, no letter no email no nothing!!!

Stay away from Pain Treatment Centers of America and Dr. Sameer. He almost killed me with a narcotic patch called buprenorphine. Those things will overdose you if you get too warm. I read the package insert and understood what could cause that. But no one in that office mentioned that walking across my yard at 7:30 in the morning would overheat that patch. I no kidding almost died. And the nurse I talked to about it on the phone chewed me out and was rude and wanted it to be all my fault. Blood pressure 83/49 when I got help. I was with PTCoA for 4 years. In that time I had 3 different doctors--not because I chose a different doc (they don't alow you to do that).but because apparently Dr.s come and go at this place....kind of like the way clerks get rotated thru the convenience store. I went thru sudden narcotic withdrawal twice because one of them neglected to authorize my refills. Took 9 days for her to get around to it the first time. The clinic is more interested in selling you the latest product or procedure than doing what is best for you. Over my time w them there were so many mistakes and misdiagnoses. I had to ask myself "why am I putting up with this?" The answer is ...because they give me *** ....yep...that's why. So now I am being treated for opiate addiction and trying to find someone who can at least be responsible with medications. And they hurt me.....Dr Sameer doesn't believe in giving IV sedation for injections....said "it takes too long to take effect and the shots will be over before then." B.S.....Iv sedation is almost immediately effective...what take too long is placing the IV and such....it can save him 10 minutes per patient if he doesn't bother so then he can run an additional 10 patients per week thru the clinic....$$$$$$$. It's all about the $$$$$$. You don't matter. He hurt me. He misdiagnosed my issues. He almost killed me. Stay away. Stay away. Stay away...oh yeah...did I mention STAY AWAY

The most uncompassionate Dr. I have ever met. Does not care about the patient, does not explain anything and does not look over his notes on follow up appointments, just wants to rush you out of his office and run tests and does not give you results. His office is filthy and office staff is rude and incompetent, do not get correct information and they get angry when you correct them. I was very sick and could not get any answers from him. He never returned calls nor did his staff. (they had called the wrong number or so they said) I finally went to the office and got all of my records and thank God I found another doctor. It is obvious he is in his profession for the money. I would highly advise people NOT to go to him. After telling my medical doctor about him he said he has heard the same thing and would not recommend him. Dr. Macan obviously has forgotten the oath he has taken. I tell everyone I know about the horrible experience I had with him and judging from the reviews I am not the only one. I wish I would have read the reviews first.

Blatant Disregard Nov 6, 2018 I have never in all my 37 1/2 years of constant pain have I ever been treated so poorly with such cold blatant disregard. He said he would help he had no intention of helping. Far more interested in getting me there for 3 appointments and collect his fees he prescribed the incorrect amount of medication that I have been taking this is a reduced dose that is matter of record and can be verified. Dr Tapia is self center I think the term is self verified. He was far more interested in implanting a pain device, at a high fee I would guess. Upon learning that I have hypersensitive nerve endings I could not use his device he did not prescribe the remaining amount in a partial script as promised. He made me wait 5 days dodging my calls leaving me on hold for 39 minutes disconnected the call, I called back a 15 minute return call was I promised they would return my call after talking to the doctor they never returned the call. I asked if he was not going to prescribe as promised please tell me now, 2 calls later the office finally admitted he was not going to prescribe as promised on Oct 24, now on Nov 6th after 5 days of calling and waiting they could have told me sooner I could have seen another doctor in that time and not run out of medication. I did get appointment in 3 days with a new doctor but I'm out of medication upset in more pain from this experience. 9 back surgeries both hips replaced, my knee was damaged with hip replacement, shoulder pain and more. This man could care less how much pain I am in, He never examined me didn't even look. The office twisted my words as if this was my fault that I didn't understand I'm not foolish.

Another Lenka Stankova hurting the war fighters. John Windom, 64, a retired Navy officer, was charged with making false statements, concealment of material facts and falsification of a record or document tied to a failure to report more than $15,000 in cash, casino chips and other gifts from contractors. The Justice Department announced the charges on Wednesday, accusing him of “accepting, and sometimes demanding, extravagant gifts from a group of contractors and subcontractors who worked on the project he was overseeing.” As the indictment notes, Windom was aware of the rules regarding reporting gifts and receipts, per training for officials. “An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law,” the Justice Department said in its release.

In 2018, the 10-year contract was awarded to Cerner (now known as Oracle Health after Oracle acquired it). Windom was appointed as Executive Director of the Office of Electronic Record Modernization in 2017 and helped supervise the VA’s choice of Cerner for the contract. According to the grand jury indictment against him, Windom used his position to take money and gifts from a group of business executives from information technology and consulting companies who were contractors on the project. According to the indictment, Windom allegedly called them “the Power Group.” Windom used his role to “encourage, monitor, and facilitate contract and subcontracting opportunities for members of the Power Group, related and unrelated to the EHRM project.” Windom was allegedly given payment in everything from cash, to $8,200 in Louis Vuitton gift cards and $1,800 in casino chips. He was also given a High Efficiency Particulate Air, or HEPA, filter worth $631. The indictment also accuses Windom of using his position to “coerce” payments and gifts from others. Per the indictment, Windom “repeatedly reminded Power Group members to remain loyal and directed them to maintain confidentiality and their relationship with him.” In one message at the start of 2020, Windom messaged Power Group members, telling them that “loose lips sink ships.” Windom’s initial contract was extended, and in 2022 he was reassigned to serve as deputy director of the Federal electronic Health Modernization Office, a joint VA and Department of Defense project. Nine years after the modernization effort started, the Electronic Health Record program is used by only a handful of VA sites, with the program hit by glitches and usability issues. The VA paused the program in 2023, but is expected to roll out at several sites this year. Windom faces a maximum sentence of over 20 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
