Pain Medicine Specialists who are Physicians - Vail, AZ

"First time visit with Dr. Emil H. Annabi MD. Rude, arrogant, very, very poor bedside manner. Full of himself! Does not listen to his patient. Treats you like an addict, even though I have been on medication since 2000 for chronic pain. He walked in and asked me to explain everything what was going on with me and had all my medical reports. I felt like I was talking to the wall, because he never even looked at me, instead he was too busy reading my reports when I felt like he should have been listening to me since he asked me what was going on. How can a doctor focus on you when he is busy reading the reports and then tells me that he is going to stop one of my medications I have been taking for 18 years. Then I asked "What are you going to do"? He said I was not listening to him in my face and I said you are not listening to me and he said, "Well I am not going to treat you and get out of my office". I said, "Fine we are out of here". My husband was sitting beside me and could not believe how he was treating me as a patient. We are both in the medical field, he did not know this. We have never seen a doctor with such a demanding and very bad attitude. The staff was not great either, including the MA who made mistakes twice on my vitals and height."

"Horrible. Zero eye contact and even less care about a person's pain. I am not sure if this person is deaf or just doesn't listen. Worst medical experience in my 53+ years on earth. Seems like a hired gun to scam insurance companies."
