Dr. Shaina Drummond, MD ; Parkland Pain Clinic

Updated by user May 30, 2013

Updated today 5-30-2013.

Dr. Drummond was dead *** wrong.

We had another doctor administer another Urine Test on my wife and it came back negative for Dilauded! Just like we knew it would so the new test is being entered into the medical charts. We literally begged Dr. Drummond to retake the urine test and she said she was "not concerned about it" well we knew they had messed up the test and to the people reading this that thinks 'so what it's just a test' Please understand it's not 'just a test' it is your reputation, it is a medical record that says the urine tested positive for a heavy narcotic that she did not have a prescription for!

The doctor that did the test is a doctor that stood up for us in the meeting we had at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. I'm not going to mention his name because I don't want his name to flag a keyword for pissed consumer even though it would not be anything bad about him. I pray that people stand up for your rights! If you know a test is wrong let others know.

These Doctors have got to be held accountable when dealing with your permanent medical records. My wife has ongoing medical issues so her medical records must be accurate. If it were my test I really would not care because I go to the doctor once a year, but for a loved one that has long term care that screw up follows them! I wish I could get channel 5 to investigate our story...

It's not just this test it is also a doctor named Gerald Matchett who is now at UTSW in Dallas that said my wife needed detox after meeting and talking to her for less than (10) minutes... he determined that, of course before he walked into the room just because they could not find the exact cause of her upper right quadrant stomach pain. Which was determined to be an obstructed bile duct.

If anyone reads this that has any Ideas on how I can get her more help, or get channel 5 to talk to me PLEASE email me at: JoeEspisito@***.com your help would be so very appreciated! We are just normal 40 year old American Citizens that have been married for 24 years and she needs help with a system that is broken.

Original review May 24, 2013
My other post was cut off Halfway thru so here it is again! Dr. Shaina Drummond, MD ; Parkland Pain Clinic. You will find this skinny, blond so called doctor to be real full of herself! She took over for another pain doctor that my wife was seeing until my wife could have surgery on an obstructed bile duct. The pain level on this condition was explained to me as mimicking Pancreatic cancer, but without the cancer. So Dr. Drummond sasses into the room on our first visit and tells my wife she is taking her off her pain medicine, which was only 3 5mg. hydrocodone per day. Partly because of Dr. Matchetts notes (google his name too he was the start of the issues) and partly because she does not believe in pain medicine unless it is for cancer patients. Now let me say this. The surgery to correct the problem was only 3 months away. I asked it it was premature? I mean the whole part of the pain clinic was to keep her comfortable until surgery! Dr. Drummond responded " well, it's my call and this is what I am going to do if you dont like it go to another hospital and get a second opinion!" So without insurance, that was out we would just go as long as possible and if the E.R. had to be visited then it would just have to. Now on the last appointment for the pain clinic Dr. Drummond tells us my wifes last urine sample contained no hydrocodone but did contain dilaudid (a powerful narcotic) we told her it was wrong, that had to be a mix up on the urine! Dr. Drummond laughed at the fact they could have mixed it up! She said " It doesn't concern her" well it concerns us! This is her Medical Record. Anyway we were able to get a grievance meeting 2 days ago with head doctors over the G.I. clinic and 2 MD's that had treated my wife spoke up in her behalf. Everyone genuinely seemed concerned about the botched test and about Dr. Drummond saying "we are not going to tell anyone" "don't worry about it" In my opinion she is a self centered arrogant Doctor that needs retrained or actually fired, I don't think you can train a doctor to have common sense and compassion. I will update more after we get word from the meeting we had. If you have Dr. Drummond do yourself a favor, print this show it to parkland and say "I need a doctor with common sense" one that is not on a POWER trip!

in my opinion Dr Drummond is an excellent careful compassionate wonderful doctor she has always treated me with kindness and takes extra time to explain procedures she had genuine concern for me and has eased my pain So glad I finally found a doctor who takes the time to listen and genuinely care. I highly recommend her she has a good sense of humor too and makes me feel at ease.

I am black and have never felt like she was a racist. Always been nice and takes time to talk to you when lots of other doctors just rush in and out.

Tells it like it is and tries different ways to treat pain. She also recommended I see a counselor for my depression and it has helped me a lot.

Good doc in my opinion. It does take a while to get in to see her though.

RACIST, uses the N-word freely in both her professional and personal interactions

Guest

Notice how the three good comments about Drummond were all posted on 11/15/13. Wow, looks suspicious to me. Just a handful of readers and all of a sudden 3 separate people just happen to be looking up this 1 doctor on the same day.

Guest

Sounds like the above speaking person needs to tone down his comments about competent Doctors and seek professional mental health!

Guest

Dr. Drummond is the most qualified,competent doctor I have ever visited.

She brought me great pain relief to my back and neck immediately.

She is very caring,knowledgeable and I would and dorefer her to everyone.

Strongly agree with positive feedback about Dr. Drummond :)

fastgranny that may be wonderful for you. However, I just came back from spending all day at Parkland.

My wifes 6th floor G.I. appointment showed no stones in the bile duct. The G.I. doctor feels it is nerve pain.

She was hurting so bad she was trembling after the procedure so they had to keep her on the bed and take her through Emergency. This is ongoing for 2 years. (2 hydrocodone per day is not popping pills all day) plus. knee / back can be rehabilitated.

Nerve damage can not. Because of Drummond my wife spent 6 hours in the E.R. Every E.R. doctor and G.I.

specialist agree. She put her personal beliefs in front of my wifes needs. Now G.I and the E.R had to put in another referral for the pain clinic. If she was very nice then she must have got zero questions from you.

Questions are what upset her. Truth is comparing your treatment to my wife's is comparing apples to oranges. The shots you spoke of in your back, may work great for you. My wife is allergic to prednisone.

They did the shots anyway and did not block the pain but did help a slipped disk. The prednisone swelled her lips and cheeks up double, her heart raced for 2 days and she ran 101(f) fever.

She is allergic to more things then most people are but she tried then to be compliant with the doctors. It got her no where.

I disagree with this poster. I went to Dr.

Drummond for treatment of my knee and back pain. She was very nice and took the time to explain my condition. The resident who worked with her also was very thorough. I then got some shots in my knees, which helped me walk much better.

I like the fact she does not just give me a prescription for pain medications and walk out the door. She explained other treatment options for pain other than popping pain pills all day. I don't want to get addicted to those things. Hoping to have some shots in my back next.

I will definitely return even though it is hard to get in to see her.

We most thoroughly agree with the positive opinion about Dr. Drummond and appreciate having Dr.

Drummond take the time to explain procedures to us.

She is highly qualified and we trust her judgment. She is very professional and has a gentle touch.

UT Dallas Career Center - Dr. Gerald Matchett, MD

Updated by user May 23, 2013

We had a board meeting at Parkland 2 days ago. I told them word for word exactly what Mr.

Matchett said. We even had the original paper from parkland from when matchett gave my wife the number to the D.E.A. office.

We called the CEO of Parkland to arrange this meeting in case anyone else needs to do this.

Once the Customer care advocates reach a stale mate call the CEO's office and be polite! Remember you get more with sugar. We set down with several doctors 2 of them said Mr. Matchetts notes were very wrong and my wife was wronged by his accusations.

As I write this her pain is so out of control she is in the bathroom and I can hear her throwing up. She has been crying for the past 2 hours. I feel so helpless! At the meeting we showed pictures of my daughters graduation that my wife missed.

we showed pics of my wife with an E.J (External Jugular) I.V. that is the only type of line they can get on her. We had the heads of 6 different areas at the meeting plus 2 medical doctors and they were just in disgust with Mr. Matchett.

Because of his notes my wife is dealing with this bile duct pain with muscle relaxers! I get so mad i have to *** my tongue. I mean where else can people go with no insurance?

I lost everything in the 2008 recession! My god I never thought we would be in this position and certainly never thought a doctor would flat out lie!

Original review May 19, 2013
I lost my job in 2008 and we were forced to use Parkland's Pain clinic. Mr. Matchett, I refuse to call him a doctor, came into the room and said your pain is being caused by Hydrocodone. Now my wife was bed ridden and had a benign mass removed from her bile duct which started the pain. She still has not eaten a solid meal in 2 years and survives on ensure. So anyway he said her (3) hydrocodone pain pills a day was causing the pain and then called her the next day and told us the D.E.A. had her file! I know, first thought is wow more to this story but it's not. We don't drink, NEVER used any drugs, never been arrested, just normal people. So now she is hurting, vomiting, worried and scared. We both contact the D.E.A. at the number this worthless *** gave us and they said they never heard of my wife! They also explained, it does not work like that. If a specific doctor was being investigated that doctor would be in trouble and unless the patient was stealing prescriptions or something over the top they would not be investigated. So to anyone using this liar please be careful. My wife was very sick, in a lot of pain and he was cold hearted and out right LIED. He is no longer with Parklands Pain Clinic but now is with UTSW. Not a day goes by that I don't think of this trash for a human being. He put in her medical record she needed detox! We are having that amended and have 2 other doctors going to bat for us but patients have got to use the internet to let others know about liars and *** with some power trip because they are a doctor! If Matchett reads this I hope you burn in *** for what you put this lady through! My hatred for you is a perfect hatred because you lied and intentionally hurt my wife.

Lawyer up people do not stand for this

Yes, I am a Stage IV Cancer patient. I had temporarily gone on Disability after 3 years, and the very best doctors at UTSW. When I got to Parkland, I got a referral to the a Pain Management Clinic and Gerald A. Matchett, MD. I had a re-sectioned T-12 vertebrae and cancerous margins there where it had been too close to my spine to remove. The cancer had mestatisized from my uterus. Anyway, my "chemo" was an oral Aromatase inhibitor called FEMARA. So, I had a full head of hair, extra poundage and liked to be happy, grateful and wear a smile. Dr. Matchett is a rather miserable, pre-maturely old and mean man. So, when my *** test came back negative he proclaimed me to everyone and anyone who would listen and ultimately, to his immediate replacement so that he could count on corroboration (because the new guy, John Alexander, MD didn't know!) who kicked me out of the Clinic (into the barrel of horrible narcotic withdrawal) about which they said, "We don't care...We know that you are a drug dealer.

I was just beside myself. Cut to the chase. I provided the Dean of Anesthesiology (and Pain Management) at UTSW Medical School with a hair analysis for which I had gotten a referral to Qwest Diagnostics to retrieve.

Further, with same, I filed a Formal Complaint with Parkland Hospital who takes these things very seriously. My doctor there, a PhD, MD, a Fellowship Resident was called upon to analyze (w a Fellow Pharma Resident) for the Parkland CII (narcotics) Board. We prevailed everywhere.

Down the street, at UTSW, where now I am a patient again, Dr. Matchett has gone and simply told them that I am a drug trafficker. Even though there have been times since that the blood test has not been right involving Dr. Joan Schiller, MD (now, UTSW co-CEO) when she was Head of Oncology and a Proxy doc ran the wrong test again. Again, the same PhD, MD, solved any questions and proved each one wrong.

They, however, disseminate on a daily basis that I am a drug trafficker to anyone with a password. My doctors tell me that they know it is not true. Yet, it has made pain management at UTSW impossible...maybe even Anesthesiology ~ yet, no thank you.

Accordingly, UTSWLegal has made my rights pursuant to the Public Information Act, HIPPA Privacy and Medical Records accuracy impossible to access. Those Departments are forbidden from interacting with me or working with my Records in any fashion. Now, my tumors are multiplying and on Active Issues (under Convalescence from Chemotherapy) they have two (2) out-of-context, rather private medical concerns and a big, fat, salacious lie that serves no purpose but to distract doctors for the Case at hand. My best is just to Zen through it because going elsewhere dragging this incidious lie would be ridiculous. No telling how they would try to dress it up or worse.

Dr. Drummond must be bed buddies with Matchett.....

No can't be she has a bigger set of nuts. She screws up my urine test and tells me I have Dilauded in my urine. I said impossible please retake it. "no it does not concern me" she said!

Well it really does concern me when the urine was not marked in front of me! Im not saying it was not an honest mistake but now it's a mistake on my medical record. BEWARE people.

These little mistakes follow you for life! :sigh
