Scheel Michael J MD

Dr. Scheel is now at WVU Reynolds memorial hospital. He is fantastic. Listens, takes his time with well thought out diagnosis responses and recommendations.

Ive been to many so called 'Pain Management' doctors. Ive seen very few who are worth the education they say they earned. This one is certainly one to avoid! Please do yourself a favor and do not entertain the prospect. This man has terrible listening skills. His bedside manner is insulting. He has little to no compassion and times his appointments so as to get you in and out and his money paid. He will show you exactly how little he knows about pain medications and plays games with avoiding questions about his treatment plans.He uses a protractor to measure Im not sure what as this is really an ignorant display of his assesment skills. He will not give you time to speak about what you are experiencing and is seriously bothered by questions. He will quickly refer you out to P/T and suggest perhaps swimming and stretching. Pain medications are looked down upon and he will only prescribe small ineffective dosages-unwilling to hear of your continued pain and need for an increase in dose or a new approach with a new medication. Your thoughts are of little value to him. He, you see, is smater than you will ever be and his ego is so pronounced it makes you wonder how it is that a man like this can be a doctor at all. He needs social skills. It really is a horrible experience and a huge waste of money. But, find out for yourself if you must. The primary care doctors are all too quick to refer to these con artists and once you are there you begin to see how they play patients for fools. To the many who are sincere and needing help for chronic pain of any kind, the good doctors are very hard to find in the Washington and Pittsburgh area. I wish you good health and good luck in your search and I hope by typing this you can avoid one more terrible doctor.
