  His bed side manner was very unprofessional, he was rude about another’s one of his peers assessment and I quote his comments “good for Dr. Tyler” I’m Dr. Chandler. I was told by my family practice doctor, a neurosurgeon and the Radiologists that interpreted my scans that I have severe degenerative disc disease and “ my disc is obliterated”. The bone on bone is causing pain, small bulging disc, and the sciatic nerve is being pressed. That is why I’m in so much pain. The problem is these doctor want to give you epidurals in an attempt to mask the pain temporally and I want my back fixed permanently not a temporary fix. Second, I had an extremely terrible experience with epidurals and I’m terrified to have another needle shoved in my back and that’s what all these doctors want to do - maybe to follow protocol for insurance purposes, I’m not sure but there has to be other ways to help someone besides shoving an epidural into ones back. This so called Dr Chandler said, there was nothing wrong with my back other than normal wear and tear. I said, if that’s the case where is the pain coming from? He said “ I don’t know but not your back” I said well, I drove a long way to come see you and spent a lot of money and I didn’t come all this way for “I don’t know”. If YOU think it’s not my back then perhaps since your the doctor you should try and find the problem. He said, “ I’m sending you to physical therapy” I said, why if my backs not the problem? He said, “ to straighten your back and align everything”. I said is pain normal? He shrugged his shoulders - I said, no pain is not normal. The human body experience pain which is an indication something is wrong. He completely ignored me. I told him you are not making much sense he said “ I am not doing surgery which doesn’t have a good success rate” contrary to what Dr. Tyler said which was an 85% success rate “ and I am not giving pain medication”. I said, I never asked you for surgery and I never asked for pain medication I’ve been suffering with nothing more than Tylenol and Advil. I simply asked for help from a doctor. Umfortunately , he is not the doctor I would want help from with an attitude and beside manner like his. I felt like just another number and another dollar in his pocket. He was a rude inconsiderate moranic a**!!! I have been suffering for years before I decided to go try and get some help. I am not a person that likes to go to the doctor - I end up waited until I have waited too long. However, I was in so much pain and the last five years have impaired my lifestyle so much because of my back I knew it was time to go get some help. For the people that had a good experience with him - I am happy he treated you well. I don’t know if you have to be well known, skinny, athletic, wealthy or just luck out on a good day however, I must have come on a very bad day. Everyone’s experience will be different I just thought I would share mine. Good luck, I’m sure there are other doctors there that are good I just didn’t get one.
